Whipping winds and driving snow are part of your daily life at basecamp, meaning that you don't want to skimp when it comes to shelter. Since you'll be spending days on end waiting out storms in your tent, you also want to get something with plenty of space, which is where the Big Agnes Guard Station 8 Tent comes in. With 128 square feet of floor space, the Guard Station is the perfect companion for large expeditions or for use as a command center to plan your route before the summit push. Built using the toughest materials including oversized tent poles, burly stakes, and a Dominico undyed Polyester Fly, which is up to 25% stronger than other polyester fabrics, this expedition-style tent can wait out the toughest storms that the mountains have to offer. The dome-style provides maximum structural integrity to keep you snow-free while the added features like six meshed covered windows, roof vents, and interior loops for Big Agnes accessories make it comfortable enough that you might not want to leave, even when the storm finally passes.
