Black Diamond Mission Tent

A four-season expedition tent built for mountaineers and ski tourers running multi-day basecamp objectives, the Black Diamond Mission 3P Tent is a three-person freestanding shelter sized for two climbers plus gear or three climbers in tight quarters. DAC Featherlite aluminum poles deliver the strength-to-weight ratio that lesser pole sets cannot match, holding shape through the wind loading that flattens lighter three-season tents. A polyurethane-coated polyester fly sheds wind-driven snow and sustained precipitation, and aluminum-reinforced corners spread load at the stake-out points where most expedition tents fail. Two doors prevent the over-the-partner crawl that single-door tents force, and the 33 square feet of floor area is functional for three-person occupancy with packs inside. At 10 pounds 4 ounces packed weight with a 3-foot 10-inch center height and 4-season construction, the Mission 3P is the appropriate basecamp tent for expeditions and winter ski tours where weight matters less than survival weather performance.
