Specs
How Many Seasons?
This tent is rated a 3-seasons tent. This means it is best to avoid super cold weather and definitely avoid snow. The tent is built to handle wet, and windy conditions. Taking it on a backpacking trip in summer, fall, or spring, is always possible. Just be aware of possible weather conditions and always prepare beforehand. You do not want to get caught in a snowstorm in a 3-season tent. The tents are not designed to keep you warm in such low temperatures.
Fabric Type?
– The tent floor and fly are made of 68-denier polyester fabric
– The tent body is made of 40-denier polyester no-see-um mesh

Having a no-see-um mesh is great to watch the stars in a bugs and mosquito free zone. The entire roof of the tent when no rain-fly applied is mesh. Just remember, the rain-fly is needed if any chance of rain.

Extra Information
Space
The tent is known to be much roomier than you’d think, especially for its weight. Three people will fit nicely, with its 46-inch (3.8ft) height you can sit up comfortably inside. Having enough room is definitely important to most campers. Feeling claustrophobic while camping ruins the experience, you want to feel comfortable and finding a tent with the right amount of space is important.
Durability and Seasons
Durability is also important, having a tent while backpacking means you need the gear to last for a crucial (very important) period of time. You are heading into the wild with no easy way out, if a tent rips or crumbles you are placed in a difficult situation. If the weather is bad and you are without a tent, it can be considered an emergency. The Tungsten 3p is durable and can handle 3 seasons of the year when treated correctly. Placed in snow and ice the tent will not perform well and could easily create an emergency.
Breathability and Condensation
The Tungston is known to be breathable. When a tent has good ventilation it means you won’t get that gross moisture build up inside (Condensation). Some tents drip and cause things to get soaked, meaning your nice and cozy bed will be cold and uncomfortable. Having a ventilation system that works is an asset every high-quality tent has, without it I wouldn’t consider it “high-quality”.
