New Sea to Summit Telos Evo Bikepacking Tent Gets More Weatherproof, Less Expensive

"Now called the Telos Evo, here's what you need to know. The Sea to Summit Telos Evo Bikepack Tent is a two-person tent with a generous-for-the-category footprint of 43.7 x 88.2 x 100.8 inches. Packed dimensions are also a bit generous for the category at 7.1 x 12.6 x 7.1 inches, but that's the price of having a taller interior and a few extra inches between you and your roomie."

"Instead, the new Telos Evo Bikepack Tent comes with two lightweight stuff sacks for separating the main tent from the rain fly. Both are stuffed into an outer stuff sack with compression straps. It's sized to fit on your handlebars, or not - the multi-sack design lets you easily split the load between bags and riders. The absence of dry bags also drops the price. The Telos Evo runs $580, down from the TR2's $699."

"A new Ultra-Sil LS fabric uses recycled nylon with lower stretch characteristics and faster drying times compared to previous versions. The fabric coating eliminates PFAS compounds and flame retardants, too. High-airflow mesh upper panels enhance ventilation while solid lower inner panels provide wind and sand protection. Adjustable stake-out points allow tension adjustment on uneven terrain, and the tent pole bag functions as a headlamp diffuser for interior lighting."
