The front poles fit together with loops at the top and support the tent body which is ran up over the crossed loops and pulled taut with a staked cord. This two-man tent is constructed using two poles at front one at rear. I would classify it as a three-man, four-season tent. Tent measures approximately 69″ inches across at its widest and 52″ tall at it’s tallest. The color block pattern is wild and right in line with early JanSport design and marketing.
The full fly is made of a tightly woven nylon to be water and wind resistant. The thickness of the bottom would keep out melting snow and reduce the need for a ground cloth. A fine ripstop version up top and a heavy coated nylon on the bottom. I can imagine trying to fit them together, fumbling with them in a K2 basecamp, but they work. The sections are made of a dense plastic or possibly fiber and resin material. The poles are original and fit together in individual sections,there’s no shock cord connecting the segments of each of the three poles. Snow piled on the flaps around the bottom helped keep the tent anchored in extreme conditions. A full covering fly with cut outs for additional guy lines from the tent poles. Those features include an additional tunnel style door and vents. This early Geodesic tent has features making it befitting of an ascent on the second highest mountain in the world. As I’ver read it’s the model used by the American assent on K2 in 1975.
