You're not buying a tent you'll replace in five years. The Colorado Tent is built from Army Duck double-fill cotton canvas (10.10 oz or 12.63 oz) and sewn to the same specifications we've used for over 130 years. It breathes in summer and holds heat in winter. The high-peak internal steel frame gives you real standing room. The 5-inch oval stove jack is built in, positioned for a safe wood stove setup. Every seam is reinforced. Every stress point is backed with heavy webbing. The 9-inch vinyl sod cloth seals the perimeter at ground level.
It's heavy. It takes two people to set up right. Once it's pitched, it handles wind, snow, and sub-zero mornings without complaint. We've been repairing these for decades. Some come back in from hunters who got them from their fathers.
WeatherMax 80 is a solution-dyed polyester shelter fabric engineered to outperform traditional cotton canvas in the conditions that matter most, wet, cold, and prolonged sun exposure. Here's how the two compare side by side.
