TARPTENT ArcDome 2 - is a fully freestanding, 2-3 person, 4-season dome-style tent designed for two or more adventurers who demand strength, comfort, and versatility in all conditions. Combining the classic dome shape with Tarptent’s innovative StratoSpire offset layout, the ArcDome delivers exceptional stability, interior space, and weather protection.

Made with a unique 30D super high tenacity PcU-coated polyester fly, it offers outstanding durability, low stretch in wet conditions, and excellent performance in heavy snow or high winds — without the need for trekking pole support.

Choose between 2-person or 3-person interior configurations with full solid, mesh, or partial solid options to match your conditions.

The fly comes factory-sealed and ready for adventure. The sil-nylon floor requires simple seam-sealing (kit included). Accommodates users up to 1.93m (6'4").

Key features include:

• Freestanding design with compact poles (≤ 16″ / 407 mm) for easy transport – no vestibule stakes required.
• 4-season durability, ready for snow, wind, and alpine use.
• Interchangeable interiors – choose between solid, mesh, or partial-solid options.
• Fly doors roll fully back for panoramic views and ventilation.
• Vestibule storage under the fly - keeps gear organized. 

While not as ultralight as Tarptent’s 3-season models, the ArcDome 2’s reinforced build and advanced materials make it a trusted shelter for winter and expedition use.
