Alps Mountaineering Taurus 2-Person Tent
The Taurus represents a thoughtful approach to lightweight shelter design. This two-person tent delivers the essentials without unnecessary complexity—a philosophy that serves the practical outdoorsman well.
Design and Construction
The free-standing two-pole design means you can pitch this tent virtually anywhere without relying on stakes or guy lines. The fiberglass poles are durable and reliable, while the pole clips ensure quick, intuitive assembly. The 75D 185T polyester fly features a 1500mm coating that resists UV damage and maintains tension in variable conditions. The floor uses the same quality 75D 185T poly taffeta with a 2000mm coating—substantially more durable than the fly—protecting against moisture and abrasion.
Weather Protection
Factory-sealed seams on both fly and floor provide the best defense against water intrusion. Weatherproof fly buckles allow maximum adjustability for different conditions. Two vestibules offer protected storage for gear while adding an extra weather barrier at entry points.
Comfort and Ventilation
Two doors with zippered mesh windows provide flexibility in entry and excellent cross-ventilation. Mesh panels and pop-up vents prevent condensation buildup. Interior mesh storage pockets and a gear loft keep essentials organized and off the floor.
