The external DAC exoskeleton pole system assembles as a free-standing group shelter — lay out the poles, clip the exoskeleton frame, and guy it out. For double-wall protection, clip in the separate tent body to the pole structure. External poles mean setup is fast even in wind, and the frame can be pitched before the body goes on.
Yes. With the external pole design it sets up as a fully free-standing group shelter, or you can clip in the tent body to create a double-wall configuration.

We took this on a two-week Denali-style trip and it shrugged off 60+ mph gusts on the glacier. The external DAC exoskeleton design means the poles take the brunt without stressing the fly fabric, and pitching with gloves on was surprisingly manageable. Slept four with gear comfortably, could definitely squeeze six in bad weather. This tent earns its expedition label.
It's an expedition tent, so weight comes with the territory. Held up beautifully in a storm that shredded two other shelters in our group. Only knock is that setup needs at least two people to go smoothly.
Laughed at the wind that terrified our neighbors. Worth every ounce.
Nothing wrong with the quality—the DAC poles and stitching are excellent. But unless you're doing genuine mountaineering, this is a lot of tent. Heavier and pricier than we needed for our Cascade trips.
Guided trips mean gear gets abused, and this tent has come through two full seasons without a single failure. The freestanding exoskeleton pitches fast even on rock and snow, and we've hosted eight people for dinner inside during whiteout conditions. Ventilation in cold weather is well thought out. Clients feel safe in it, and I do too. Best group shelter we've owned.
Fantastic in high winds and snow loading. Just measure your camp spots—this thing needs serious real estate to pitch properly.
