Frequently Asked Questions

How does the fly-first pitch system work?

You set up the rainfly first using the opposing pole design, creating immediate weather protection. The inner mesh tent then clips inside the flysheet, allowing you to stay dry during the entire setup process.

What's the difference between this and a standard tent setup?

Most tents require you to pitch the inner tent first, leaving you exposed to rain during setup. The Scorpion 2 IX gets you covered immediately, then you add the inner tent from underneath the dry flysheet.

How many people can this tent actually sleep?

The 205cm x 110cm sleeping area is designed for two people in a head-to-toe arrangement. The front porch provides additional gear storage space.

What kind of conditions can this tent handle?

The 5000mm hydrostatic head rating and taped seams handle heavy rain and snow. The opposing pole design provides stability in high winds, making this suitable for four-season mountain use.

Does this tent come with a footprint?

The footprint is sold separately. The tent includes the flysheet, inner mesh tent, anodized aluminum poles, and compression storage bag.
