Product description

Shelter material 

The tent cover is made from high-quality polyester fabric with a PVC coating, offering excellent weather resistance. Despite its lightweight nature, the RES shelter withstands wind speeds up to 56 mph (gusts up to 65 mph) and supports a snow load of 5 lbs per square foot. Sealed seams ensure waterproofing, and the fire-retardant material prioritizes safety. The floor and end panels are detachable for easy cleaning and versatile setup. Integrated attachment points allow for the addition of insulation, dividers, overhead storage, and lighting systems.

Frame

The heart of the RES system is its innovative frame, crafted from high-strength aerospace aluminum. This ensures a balance of lightweight portability and durability. The intuitive design allows for rapid deployment by two people, even on uneven terrain.
