Unmatched Space, Ventilation & Versatility
+ View tech specsThe Telos three-person freestanding tent will radically change your perception of what an ultralight backpacking tent can be. Sea to Summit’s engineers made it their mission to design a tent that is easy to set up and filled with clever functional features. Mission accomplished.
However – there are three additional reasons why leading gear testers have picked the Telos as the new gold standard for tents: space, ventilation and versatility.

The Telos has a relatively waterproof (2500mm) floor, so can be used in pretty wet (but not downright boggy) conditions without a footprint. However, adding a footprint does help protect the floor from rips and tears.
PeU coatings are ether-based. They are much less susceptible to hydrolysis (which is when a urethane coating absorbs moisture and becomes soft or 'sticky', often in storage), so they're better for rainflys and tent floors.
No, the TR3 tent was primarily designed for ultralight backpackers using smaller, tapered sleeping pads.
