Domex Ascent 2-3 Person High Country Tent
The Ascent is Domex’s premier tent, showcasing innovative Stealth Seam Welding technology that makes seams up to 42% stronger than conventional ones.
For the hunter, the hiker, the high country adventurer - this range is designed to withstand tough weather conditions.
It’s hybrid canopy design achieves an excellent balance between breathability and weather protection, guaranteeing top performance in any setting.
The Ascent 2 is a 2 person tent that is built to handle rugged 3-season weather conditions. It is one of the first tents in New Zealand with a tent fly featuring Stealth Seam Welding Technology.
Stealth Seam Welding Technology
This cutting-edge technique combines ultrasonic edge-joining with high frequency radio welding of tape seals, making the seam up to 42% stronger than a standard twin needle taped seam. The weld will provide water tightness for the life of the tent fly, unlike a taped seam, which generally does not. Until now this technology has only been available on heavy fabrics.
Easy to set-up
Like all Domex tents, the hub frame design means that the tent is quick and easy for even one person to set up and being free-standing gives flexibility to set up the tent in all types of terrain, with the option of moving site before pegging the tent down.
Inner Tent
The lower section of the inner tent is crafted from breathable double Ripstop Nylon panels for enhanced durability, while the upper part features fine mesh panels to boost ventilation while keeping insects at bay.
Other Features
The Ascent 2 is loaded with amenities, including a Ripstop Nylon tent floor, air vents to promote airflow and reduce condensation, spacious vestibule area, and four large storage pockets along with a lantern hook.
Why Should You Use a Footprint?
We highly recommend utilizing the matching footprint for this tent (available as an optional accessory) to safeguard your tent floor. It also streamlines the packing process. Any mud and debris will be contained within the footprint, allowing for a quick wipe down of the condensation on the tent floor before rolling it up. KEY FEATURES
Easy to set-up
The hub-dome design with its inter-connected pole sections enables quick and easy set-up by one person.
Free-standing design
Gives flexibility in sites with vegetation, uneven, wet or rocky terrain. Because the tent supports itself once the poles are inserted, it is able to be shifted easily (by one person) before it is pegged.
Easily-identifiable points
Fluro webbing and zip toggles on inner tent plus luminous-fleck on outside zip, guylines and peg loops allow for easy identification in poor light conditions.
