Fortius: the name is reminiscent of "refuge" & "stronghold." The Fortius Trekking Pole Tent is your ultimate refuge in the wild for intense adventures. Designed to surpass the limitations of traditional trekking pole tents, the Fortius is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions, from violent winds to pouring rain and lightning storms. Here's why it's the perfect companion for your rugged backcountry excursions:
- Storm-Worthy Design: Unlike other ultralight trekking pole tents, the Fortius is truly storm-worthy. With multiple "storm points" and extra-long detachable stake lines, you have the flexibility to reinforce your shelter against the elements and pitch it in any direction, providing unparalleled protection in extreme environments.
- Durable Nylon Construction: Crafted from durable nylon, the Fortius offers superior strength over a similar weight polyester. Our field testing has proven that minor sagging issues commonly associated with nylon can be easily resolved by retensioning the tent after initial setup, ensuring optimal performance throughout your adventure.
- Spacious and Comfortable: Enjoy ample livable space with a large protective vestibule by the door to keep your gear sheltered and secure. Sit up fully and rest comfortably without feeling claustrophobic, thanks to the Fortius' thoughtful design that prioritizes usable space and comfort.
- Versatile Performance: With a non-tapered bathtub floor, the Fortius can be pitched in any direction without worrying about which end you can lay your head in. The detachable storm points allow you to reinforce against wind & weather in any direction - giving you peace of mind & a better night's sleep.
Experience the full backcountry experience with the Fortius Trekking Pole Tent. With its lightweight design and durability, it's your stronghold against the elements, ensuring you stay sheltered and safe without having to sacrifice pack weight.

Foritus 1!!! This is the first trek pole tent I ever bought . I always said you’ll never get me out of a free standing tent , I was wrong .I just purchased it and have used it on a couple spring trips already this year .wind , rain , mud heavy forested areas here in the Northeast and this tent so far exceeded my expectations! After much searching OV checked all the boxes . I appreciate all the research they put into their products. Set up is easy and fun ! I am a bit of a gear nut and love the thoughtful engineering that went into this tent . The price is awesome for the value you’re getting too, and just over 1 pound of weight .This is the start of me trying to lighten my backpack load as I age . . Next I’m eyeing the Shadowlight backpack. Price is reasonable but not sure yet if I’m going to give it a test . My current backpack is 4.5lbs from a different manufacturer , not lightweight but it’s comfortable with great features . In conclusion ,my opinion is you won’t find a better tent than the foritus 1 and the price point is a great bonus !!!
I took the Fortius 1p Tent out into the Olympic National Park wilderness last weekend. Spring conditions in the Olympics can be quite unpredictable, and it was. This tent held up well in high winds, scattered rain showers and low temperatures with high humidity. The tent did very well with mitigating condensation build up, there was a bit but being in a rainforest it would be very surprising to not have any. Setup was easy even in the rain, interior stayed dry and kept me protected from the elements. I'll definitely be taking this tent out on my backpacking trips in Washington State. Light weight, durable, and definitely storm worthy I would highly recommend this tent.
I have only used this Fortius for 3 nights, but it has been good so far. Pitches easily and didn't leak on the last night when a thunderstorm rolled through. The winds were beating on it pretty hard, but everything held. Will update when I get some more nights in it.
I was very pleased with the ventilation and spacious room of this tent
Thanks.
