Telos Evo Tent
$530.00
Description
The Telos Evo is a Sea to Summit tent for backpacking and bikepacking, redesigned for 2026 with better weatherproofing and low-stretch fabrics. Tension Ridge architecture lifts the shape for more internal space and taller doors.
The upgraded Apex Vent boosts airflow and cuts condensation, and the recycled Ultra-Sil LS fabric absorbs less moisture and holds a tighter pitch. Multiple pitch modes, including hangout and stargazing, adapt it to changing conditions.

Questions
Will two rectangular sleeping mats fit in the Telos Evo TR2?
No. Sea to Summit says the Telos is designed for lightweight use and is meant to be paired with tapered or Contour shaped mats rather than rectangular mats, and the same applies to three mats in the TR3.
Should I use a footprint under the Telos Evo?
It depends on the ground, per Sea to Summit. The floor is Ultra-Sil LS fabric, 20D nylon and 50D polyester with a 2500 mm hydrostatic head. On boggy ground a footprint can improve waterproofness, and on rough ground it helps reduce wear and tear on the floor.
How does the Telos Evo cut down condensation?
Through the high capacity Apex Vent at the tent peak, per Sea to Summit, which boosts airflow and comes with a closeable storm flap for bad weather. High airflow mesh adds ventilation, and new inner panels shield you from wind and sand and add privacy when the fly is pitched.
What is the Lightbar on the Telos Evo?
It is the tent pole bag, which doubles as a Lightbar, per Sea to Summit. You slide your headlamp inside and the bag diffuses the beam into an overhead lantern for ambient light inside the tent, so one item does two jobs and nothing extra has to go in your pack.
How small does the Telos Evo TR2 pack?
Sea to Summit lists the TR2 at 57.3 oz packed in a 20 x 6 x 6 in bundle, with a peak height of 41.34 in. The TR3 has a 48.43 in peak. The Telos is freestanding and 3 season, and the maker lists backpacking and bikepacking as its uses.
Is the Telos Evo PFAS free?
Yes. Sea to Summit says all materials in Telos Evo tents are 100 percent non-PFAS, and the tents do not use flame retardants. The Ultra-Sil LS rainfly fabric is also recycled and bluesign APPROVED, and the maker says it absorbs less moisture and dries faster than the earlier fabric.
