Outpost 3

Unique in its kind: The Outpost 3 is one of our most successful tents and has been part of our range since the beginning. This very spacious three-person tent with its unique inner tent design offers even very tall people a comfortable place to sleep.

The inner tent offers plenty of space for two people and is equipped with rear ventilation. The side entrance and front entrance make it easy to handle luggage. Small items can also be stored in several inner tent pockets. For a panoramic view from the tent, the front entrance can be rolled up in just a few simple steps.

Tempest 3

The 'Tempest' is available in three sizes, as a 2, 3 or 4-person tent, in the light weight Zero-G line. It is an asymmetrical tunnel tent with three colour coded main frames. Due to the unique cut of the inner tent, it also offers a comfortable sleeping place for large people. It has a rain-protected inner tent entrance and a large vestibule with two entrances. By "unclipping" the front tip of the inner tent, the space in the vestibule can be enlarged. Simply push the unhooked inner tent to the rear. In this way, there is more room, for example for cooking. The front door of the fly sheet can be rolled up completely. That allow a very nice panorama view and easy handling with your gear. All sorts of small stuff can be organized in several mesh pockets in the inner tent

Choosing a 3 person tent

A 3 man tent works for three on the trail, or for two who want packs, a child or the dog inside. All five models have two entrances, so nobody has to climb over anyone else.

They differ in fabric (Zero G Line in 20D ripstop nylon or Travel Line in 68D ripstop polyester), design (hybrid, tunnel, dome) and pitching (inner first or fly first). We always state trail weight.

Which 3 man tent suits you?

Low weight for trekking

The Exogen 3 weighs 2,211 g and packs to 45 x 22 cm – around 740 g per person when split between three packs. As a hybrid tent it stands without guying out.

Tunnel tent in lighter fabric

The Tempest 3 from the Zero G Line weighs 2,534 g. It pitches fly first, so the inner stays dry when you set up in the rain. Like every tunnel tent, it needs pegging out.

Heavier fabrics for campsites and cycle touring

Venture 3 (hybrid), Charger 3 (dome) and Outpost 3 (tunnel) from the Travel Line have a 68D ripstop polyester flysheet with a 5,000 mm hydrostatic head and a 7,000 mm floor. They weigh 2,758 to 3,675 g.

Room to stretch out

Tempest 3 and Outpost 3 are also listed under tents with extended sleeping length – for anyone over 1.90 m tall.

Spare parts and repairs

A broken pole section or a damaged zip does not mean a new tent. Our spare parts service supplies single pole sections. Larger damage is handled by our repair service – in the UK by our partner Scottish Mountain Gear.

3 person tent FAQs

How much does a 3 person tent weigh?

Our models range from 2,211 g (Exogen 3) to 3,675 g (Outpost 3) trail weight. Trail weight covers flysheet, inner tent and poles, without pegs and stuff sacks.

One tent for three or two smaller tents?

One tent is lighter: the Exogen 3 weighs 2,211 g, an Exogen 2 plus an Exogen 1 come to 2,786 g. Two tents give you more choice of pitch.

Which 3 man tent stands without pegs?

Exogen 3 (hybrid) and Charger 3 (dome) hold their shape with their poles and stand on hard ground. The Venture 3 is a hybrid tent but not freestanding: like the tunnel tents Tempest 3 and Outpost 3, it needs pegs. In wind, peg out any tent.

Inner first or fly first?

Inner-first tents are quick to pitch and well ventilated in dry weather. Fly-first tents keep the sleeping area dry while you pitch in the rain. The table shows which model pitches which way.

There are four of us – which tent?
