The Arctic 6 is a double-wall geodesic basecamp dome for small groups with all the bells and whistles. We pulled out all the stops to make the most fully-featured basecamp tent in the world while maintaining the strength and no-fluff functionality SlingFin is known for. It's an excellent cook or med tent for small expeditions and can provide luxuriously comfortable accommodation for clients on guided trips.

A waterproof teflon-fiberglass stove jack accommodates wood stoves with 3"-5" stove pipes as well as most tent heaters. The removable floor (included) allows you to dig down to create a seating area if you're on snow or use the tent floorless with heavy boots. It also allows you to easily replace the floor if you forget to take your crampons off before you go to bed.

The tent body features what we call "Tension Strips", which are grain line-oriented strips of 70D sil/sil ripstop nylon along each tent pole that reduce the effects of bias stretch from the large tent body fabric panels. Since fabric stretch is dramatically lower along the grain line, this system reduces pole flexion and significantly strengthens the tent. Think of it as our WebTruss, but built in to the tent body.

Venting options abound thanks to large through-vents on the fly and vestibule, and three zippered vents on the tent body, each with mesh and ripstop covers. There's an additional drawstring "Relief Valve" vent near the floor sidewall to empty your pee bottles or route cables into the tent if you're using a solar panel or external power supply.

As with all our state-of-the-art expedition domes, the Arctic 6 uses our custom acetyl Cobra Clips, which remain flexible down to -40˚F/C and are easy to operate even while wearing heavy gloves.
