String Ridge VST 1.5 Mountaineering Tent

Built for solo mountaineers pushing into serious alpine terrain, the String Ridge VST 1.5 handles heavy snow loads and brutal wind without flinching. DAC Featherlite NSL pole architecture holds its shape under real stress, while closeable mesh vents let you dial condensation without letting in driving snow.

• DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles and heavy-duty hub construction resist collapse under heavy snow loading and sustained alpine winds
• 1200mm silicone-treated polyurethane ripstop nylon fly and floor lock out rain, sleet, and blowing snow in sustained storm conditions
• Solid nylon inner canopy with zip-closing mesh vents controls interior condensation and blocks wind infiltration at high altitude
• Spacious front vestibule stores winter boots, ice axes, crampons, and a full pack — keeping gear accessible without cluttering the sleep area
• Multiple storm guy-out points and included heavy-duty guylines keep this shelter planted when conditions deteriorate fast
