The Domex Ascent 1 is a 1+ person tent that is built to handle rugged 3-season weather conditions. It is one of the first tents in New Zealand with a tent fly featuring Stealth Seam Welding Technology.
This cutting-edge technique combines ultrasonic edge-joining with high frequency radio welding of tape seals, making the seam up to 42% stronger than a standard twin needle taped seam. The weld will provide water tightness for the life of the tent fly, unlike a taped seam, which generally does not. Until now this technology has only been available on heavy fabrics.
Domex Ascent 1-2 Person Tent Features:
- Easy to set-up: The hub-dome design with its inter-connected pole sections enables quick and easy set-up by one person.
- Free-standing design: Gives flexibility in sites with vegetation, uneven, wet or rocky terrain. Because the tent supports itself once the poles are inserted, it is able to be shifted easily (by one person) before it is pegged.
- Colour-coded webbing and pole tips: Ensure correct matching of poles, inner tent and tent fly when setting up the tent.
- Easily-identifiable points: Fluro webbing and zip toggles on inner tent plus luminous-fleck on outside zip, guylines and peg loops allow for easy identification in poor light conditions.
- Tent fly with Stealth Seam Welding Technology: Strong, watertight seam will maximize the lifetime of the tough ripstop nylon fly.
- Tent fly air vents: Increases airflow and reduce condensation. They can easily be closed if necessary.
- Inner tent has a combination of mesh and nylon panels: Achieves a balance between ventilation and durability. Mesh keeps sandflies, mosquitos and other insects out.
- 2 vestibules: Provide generous gear storage space outside the inner tent. They also provide extra weather protection and allow better airflow and ventilation.
- Inner tent storage: 3 pockets ( 2 wall and 1 roof) + hanging lantern hook.
- Optional footprint: Protects the tent floor and makes packing up much easier, quicker and cleaner.
