About The Product
The Ikos tents build on the design advances made in our award-winning ultralight Telos Tension Ridge tents. They feature the same great livability and versatile setup options for everyday backpacking and vehicle-supported camping in a larger, more comfort-oriented format. Four inner pockets and a gear loft provide plenty of space for your gear, and the rectangular tub floor offers room for two regular rectangular sleeping pads in the TR2 or room for three regular rectangular sleeping pads in the TR3. Sea to Summit material quality and attention to detail complete the package. The floor is a 68D polyester with a 4,000mm hydrostatic head, and a footprint which extends to the tips of the vestibules is available. A DAC MX poleset supports an 1800mm 68D polyester ripstop rainfly that is flame retardant-free and treated with a C0 non-PFC DWR. Machined-aluminum pole feet/rainfly C-clips make pitching easy. If your focus is comfort rather than gram counting, and you're looking for a tent for two or three people ( maybe a dog) that you can count on- the Ikos TR2 and TR3 could be your amazingly spacious home away from home.
Product Features
- Our unique Tension Ridge maximizes the livable space versus the footprint of our tents, offering a lot more room around the head and shoulders.
- Tension Ridge allows us to place a wide vent at the highest point of the tent, helping minimize condensation build-up. Unlike most vent designs, the Apex Vent doesn’t require a mesh panel to maintain tension across the fly—allowing up to 70% better airflow, unrestricted by mesh.
- Control airflow to manage humidity and condensation in wet conditions by opening or closing the Baseline Vents. Face one of the Baseline Vents into the wind for the most effective airflow.

Technical Features

Ikos Tent Tension Ridge
The poles of the Tension Ridge™ are swept upwards like the dihedral wing of an airplane – not angled downwards as is common in tents. This raises the tent’s shape, providing significantly more head and shoulder room, higher doors, easier access and more usable vestibule space.

Ikos poles – DAC MX poleset
The gold standard in tent poles. Sea to Summit tents use Green Anodized DAC Featherlight NFL, NSL, PRESSFIT segments (Telos and Alto) and the MX poleset (Ikos) for performance and durability.
The green anodization process lowers environmental impact and significantly reduces water usage compared to conventional tent pole anodization.

Frequently Asked questions
Do you treat the tents with flame retardants / PFCs?
The Ikos tents are 100% free from flame retardants, and the DWR finish used on the rainfly is PFC-free.
Will two large rectangular mats fit in the Ikos TR2?
Yes – the Ikos TR 2 is sized to accommodate two Large Rectangular Sea to Summit mats.
Do I need to use a footprint with the Ikos tent?
Ikos tents use a really high quality 4,000mm Hydrostatic head 68D floor fabric. A footprint is not essential for abrasion/water protection - but will extend the life of the tent floor (plus, a footprint is much easier to clean).
Does the Ikos come with the FairShare Stuffsacks/Lightbar?
It doesn’t – it comes with a large single stuff sack with compression straps. However - we provide extra internal pockets and a gear loft for the Ikos to give you the storage space you need.
Will three large rectangular mats fit in the Ikos TR 3?
Yes – the Ikos TR 3 is sized to accommodate three Large Rectangular Sea to Summit mats.
