The Tribus 8000 is a feature-packed, 3-season, all-weather tent engineered to perform in extreme conditions. With plenty of room for three adults, it’s the ideal tent for missions with mates or camping trips with the family.

The Tribus boasts an 3000mm waterproof rating on the fly, and an 8000mm waterproof rating on the high-rise bathtub base and the internal canopy has been treated with DWR to maximise water-repellency. 

The fly is made from siliconised ripstop nylon, and the floor is made from durable waterproof polyester. High-strength aluminium poles hold the structure together with plenty of flex for when the wind picks up. The simple, three-pole archway design maximises the roof space and makes the tent feel extra roomy.

The two front doors make the Tribus convenient to use when three people are coming and going, and the huge front vestibule provides plenty of space for everyone’s gear. The tent weighs just 4.5kg, including the fly, internal canopy, ground mat, poles and pegs. Alternatively, you can leave the internal canopy and ground mat at home, shaving 1kg off the total weight.

The Tribus 8000 is a high-performance three-person tent that makes for a spacious, comfortable and safe home away from home, no matter what the weather throws at you.
