Huge vestibule - large enough to hide a bicycle! A multitude of loops allows a line to be strung inside Andromeda, and two people can sit comfortably in the dry vestibule in the event of bad weather.
Easy setup with Exped’s unique flat sleeves. Poles slide easily from outside the fly and seat into convenient, adjustable pockets. And to make it even easier, the inner canopy comes pre-attached. With 4 stakes, setup is complete in just a few minutes!
For ventilation and views, windows can be opened completely from inside and are backed with mosquito netting to keep bugs out. The venting also helps minimize condensation during rain. Window supports keep ports open at all times and conceal small sections of pole repair tube.
Easy handling, day or night: Zippers have color coded, reflective, and glow-in-the-dark pulls that operate easily with one hand.
Storm proof: Flat pole sleeve technology makes the tent more aerodynamic and strengthens the pole sleeve seams. For bad weather conditions, Andromeda includes numerous loops and premounted guy lines, stored in Cord Stuffsacks. Double guy line loops grip the pole sleeves to prevent flapping of the fly in windy weather.
Canopy can be used alone, simply by detaching its ring and toggle system. Re-attaches easily, too.
Doors operate easily with one hand.
Double door in rainfly is also backed by mosquito netting.
Innnovative, flat pole sleeves reduce resistance to wind, snow and driving rain (compared to raised sleeves), all with the same easy setup of other Exped tents. To further add strength, seams are double sewn and taped.
An easily adjusted, tension pole pocket is simple to use, even in low light or rough weather. Insert a pole into its pocket and pull the strap to tension. Made with simple materials, the pocket is field repairable and unbreakable.
Smart side-entry packsack: Wow! Packing without swearing!
