Description
The Sibley 300 Ultimate is the smallest model in the Ultimate Series, yet it packs a punch with its thoughtful design and robust features. This tent is perfect for 2 campers on a double bed or 3 campers on sleeping pads, and it stands out in the series for its tri-pod pole system, replacing the traditional center pole. This change increases interior space while improving the tent’s wind resistance, tested to withstand winds up to 120 km/h (75 mph).
To maximize space, the Ultimate Series combines Classic Canvas (285 gr/m² polycotton), which provides the perfect balance of breathability and water resistance, with a high-quality, water and vapor-impermeable groundsheet. The groundsheet attaches with a heavy-duty #10 zipper around the entire perimeter of the tent, offering a secure connection to the side walls and preventing water infiltration.
The Sibley 300 Ultimate is an ideal choice for various uses: luxury camping, festivals, garden parties, three-season camping, car camping, and even backyard lounging. It’s also highly portable and packable, making it an excellent option for festival-goers and casual campers.
Key Features:
- Tri-pod Pole System: Instead of the traditional center pole, the 300 Ultimate uses a tri-pod pole system made of 10 spring-loaded poles that are easy to assemble. Each leg consists of two pole sections, and the top connects to a 3-pronged peak piece. The tri-pod design maximizes space inside and increases stability in high winds. The tent has been wind-tested to 120 km/h (75 mph).
- 360° Mesh Walls for Ventilation and Bug Protection: The Sibley 300 Ultimate includes 360° mesh walls to provide full ventilation while keeping pesky insects out. The mesh wall zips securely onto the groundsheet and canopy with a #10 zipper and is attached to the built-in mesh door with extra sticky Velcro for a strong seal. The mesh wall can be removed or rolled up neatly for when it’s not needed. It’s an ideal feature for hot and humid weather, keeping the interior cool and bug-free.
- Zippered Groundsheet with Roll-up Side Walls: The tent’s bathtub-style floor rises 4 inches to keep water out, and the groundsheet attaches to the tent using a burly #10 zipper. This allows you to easily roll up the canvas sidewalls for optimal ventilation when the weather is nice, or remove the groundsheet entirely for cleaning or transport. It also includes a tail-gate style system of hooks and loops that allow the bathtub wall near the door to be dropped and pegged flat, making it easier to clean and preventing tripping.
- Pro Stakes and Pegs: Specially designed for hard, rocky, or windy ground, Pro stakes are made from the same high-quality nickel-plated steel as the poles. These stakes are 24 cm (9.5 inches) long, angled, and serrated to hold firmly, even in frozen or rocky conditions. Pro groundsheet pegs are 50% thicker than standard pegs and are designed to keep the floor secure.
- Integrated Mesh Door: The Sibley 300 Ultimate includes a sewn-in mesh door in addition to the traditional canvas door. This mesh door has loops on either side for easy tie-back when not in use, keeping bugs out while letting air circulate through.
- Windows and Vents: The tent features 3 windows and 3 vents that are all covered with no-see-um mesh to keep insects out while allowing airflow. The half-moon windows have zip-up covers to give you control over ventilation and privacy. Each window has loop fasteners to neatly secure the covers when the windows are unzipped.
- Pro Guy Lines and Tensioners: The Pro guy lines come pre-attached to the tent and threaded through tensioners to make setup easy and ensure durability. These 5mm thick guy lines have additional UV-resistant treatment and prevent the guy lines from cutting into the tent. Plastic tensioners protect the guy lines, prolonging their life and ensuring optimal performance.
- Classic Canvas: The Sibley 300 Ultimate features Classic Canvas (285 gr/m² polycotton), which provides an excellent balance between breathability and water resistance. This canvas is durable, repairable, and retreatable, offering long-term protection for moderate climates. The tent is double-stitched, with flat-felled roof and sidewall seams and double-layer construction at stress points, ensuring longevity and protection.
- Stove Compatibility: The Sibley 300 Ultimate is compatible with a wood-burning stove. CanvasCamp’s modular stove jacks (sold separately) allow you to customize stove placement for optimal efficiency. This makes the 300 Ultimate a perfect choice for three-season use. Pre-installed stove jacks are not recommended, as they do not allow for the level of customization required for ideal stove placement.
