Our best selling Skyscraper 2p took the hunting world by storm when introduced in 2020. An unmatched weight-to-strength ratio coupled with unprecedented versatility quickly made this shelter a favorite amongst backcountry hunters. We have taken the proven design and enhanced its capabilities by upgrading to 10.65mm DAC poles, redesigning the doors, and adding an external venting system to minimize condensation.

This unique construction system provides unmatched strength, a low wind profile, and makes pitching the tent a breeze. The WebTruss is formed from 6/6 nylon fabric, and the tent fabric is a combination of 15D and 20D Nylon Ripstop. We know keeping gear dry is vital in the backcountry and the Skyscraper 2P has two extra-large vestibules (11 sq ft + 11 sq ft) to accommodate all your gear. In short, the Skyscraper 2P is a bomber versatile tent designed for the ultralight mountain hunter.
