Orion 3 AST 3 Person / 3 Season
Stronger than many 4-season tents, the Orion 3 AST sails through storms with ease. Arch Support Technology provides ultimate strength while the Double Track Vestibule can be used as an awning or short sheeted for great ventilation during inclement weather. SuperSeal Floor and Clip-Loc technology seal the deal: in foul weather the Orion 3 AST cannot be beat.

Voted 5/5

Went to camp at a mountain in Ecuador. Imbabura. Set tent at 3.800 meter of altitude. or 12467 feet. It rained for 3 hours in a row and the temp at night dropped inside the tent at 48 F. Its a great tent. It withstanded strong winds (it was guyed out) as if it was a breeze. Stayed completely dry. No condensation.

Have not tried on snow yet.
