Ultra-lite expedition-ready and simple to pitch our Shangri-La 3 is a model of backcountry versatility. This 4 season teepee-style shelter sheds wind and weather brilliantly and can be used by itself with the Shangri-La 3 Floor or with the Shangri-La 3 Nest inner bug tent. You can pitch it with the micro-adjustable aluminum pole (included) on snow over a paddle or ski pole or hang it from a branch via its top loop. Dual roof vents provide excellent air flow reflective stake out loops keep you from tripping in the middle of the night and the hydrophilic thread at the seams expand when wet—sealing the seams and eliminating the need for liquid sealant.
