The EV Direct expedition tent is a straight to the point, minimalist approach to alpine climbing. This lightweight, durable, two person, four season expedition tent has a sleek design developed to fit ledges increasing the amount of rest-worthy terrain. The EV’s Evolution Tension Arch increases load bearing strength and wind resistance while stabilizing the EV using fewer poles in turn cutting weight, a luxury during high altitude expeditions.
Designed at the request of the Athlete team, the EV Direct is a bomber single wall tent for alpine climbing and other minimalist pursuits.
