Company Description

Designed to excel as extreme weather all season tents, from deserts to blizzards, this may be the most stable and comfortable tent you will ever own. The design was derived from tents known as SPIKE TENTS, a design chosen by early North Country explorers and woodsmen. The original tents provided storm worthy shelter that was quick to set up and provided ample usable space, all at a manageable weight.

I have taken the original design and tweaked it until it was perfect! The design gathers its strength from the unique tension on the roof, and using three poles instead of one. Easily set up by one person using a minimum of eight stakes, then simple adjustments of tension lines will bring the roof taught and stabilize the tent for any foul weather. The Torrent’s design makes best use of the lightweight and durable 7 oz. canvas. 10 oz. Canvas can be special ordered at an additional cost. Both canvas weights are Sunforger treated army duck which is flame-retardant, water repellent, and mildew resistant. The Torrent Tent has steep roof lines that promote snow slide for winter use, and minimize surface area in high wind. With its elevated sides, the Torrent Tent creates a very livable space inside
you’ll notice the extra room right away. These tents are roomier than a straight range tent, but cozier and easier to heat than a wall tent. All this in a total package weight that will surprise you, it is easily half the weight of similar tents.
