Stakes are included and needed to deploy the vestibule of the fly. The stakes are also recommended for added stability in wind, but they're not required to pitch the shelter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a 25\" wide sleeping pad fit in The Free?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhile The Free's floor dimensions don't technically support a traditional 25\" wide pad, it does fit — it'll just push the side walls a bit. For the best fit, we recommend going with a wide tapered pad instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pole system does The Free use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA DAC NFL 8.7mm aluminum pole set with eco green anodizing, a treatment that reduces harsh toxins, uses less water in production, and creates a more durable finish.

The Free has a 39\" peak, so as long as your seated height stays under that, you'll be comfortable. We'd recommend a max height of 6'2\". Taller campers, say 6'4\" and up, especially on an inflated sleeping pad, will likely find their head touching the ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does The Free perform in storms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFactory-taped seams, ClearSkies™ fabric with 4,000mm+ water resistance, double tie-back points on the fly, and six included aluminum stakes give you a reliable setup in serious weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between trail weight and total weight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrail weight (29.8oz) includes the fly, tent body, and poles.

An advanced silicone and PU coating (1200 mm) fully seals the fabric and creates an extremely hydrophobic surface that shakes off morning dew with ease. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formulation also delivers a hydrostatic head rating of 4,923 mm—surpassing the average water resistance of a three-season tent and nearly matching the 5,000 mm standard of heavy-duty mountaineering shelters. It provides 2.35 times the water resistance of previous Gossamer Gear iterations while maintaining the same ultralight weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included with The Free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix aluminum stakes, guylines, one pole repair section, color-coded aluminum foot pieces, a stuff sack, and a pole bag.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gossamer Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135741677865,"sku":"GR_GOS_TENT_FREE","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/4768\/9513\/files\/Tent_Free_1.webp?v=1789513131","url":"https:\/\/basecampmanzanita.com\/products\/ultralight-tent-the-free","provider":"Base Camp Manzanita","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
