Description

A lightweight, compact, two-person, four-season tent. The Fury commingles two bloodlines –- the field-proven sturdiness of Moss Tent’s balance of compression with tension, together with MSR’s ability to trim every excess gram. The main tent features three poles, providing a lot of stiffness and strength for the tent’s weight. A separate hooped pole maximizes room in the vestibule.

Colour-coded poles and continuous pole sleeves allow easy set-up. A large zippered rear window works with the single door to provide maximum ventilation in fair weather.

The generously sized compression-sack tent bag makes packing easy –- pile the tent on the built-in tarp, then roll it into the attached bag. The tarp can also be used around camp.

* Floor is made of 70-denier nylon taffeta with an extra-high, 210-thread count for strength, and polyurethane coated for waterproofness to 10,000mm.

* Fly is made of 75-denier ripstop polyester, polyurethane coated for waterproofness to1500mm.

* Canopy is made of 40-denier 238-thread count ripstop nylon, calendered on one side.

* Frame is made of 7001-T6 aluminum.

* Inside dimensions (main tent, excluding vestibule): length 2.3m, width 1.5m at front, 1.2m at end.

* Floor area is 3.3 sq. m, vestibule area is 0.8 sq. m.

* Minimum weight is 3kg, packaged weight is 3.4kg

* Packed size is 15 x 40cm.

* Zipper flaps, zipper pulls, and guylines are reflective for easy use at night.

* Sewn in China, fabric from Taiwan, frame from South Korea.

Title: Miss my Fury...

Strengths: Easy to set up, large vestibule, weather-proof
Weaknesses: A little spendy, small floor space
Conclusions: What a nice mountaineering and winter tent! Go ahead and pitch it above treeline, even in the winter. It seems impervious to wind or rain/snow, never letting you feel like your tent is about to collapse. Now, I don't know about Himilayan storms, but pretty much anything the Canadian Rockies managed to dish out, it took.

The only, very minor, design flaw is that the fly could have hugged the ground a wee bit better. Under horizontal snow, some spindrift could find its way in, but that was rare.

The third pole for the vestibule added a little weight, but really increased the usefulness of the space.

There is not a ton of floor space for two people and gear, but at 3.0kg for a four season tent, waddya expect?

We'd pitched camp, hung the bags and other stuff to dry in the sun and gone off for water and some exploring when a Griz came to camp, pounced on the Fury (made him furious?), demolished it, and left. We were just glad that the tent was empty!!

I miss it, and the $575 price has precluded me from replacing it, as I've since needed a bunch of three season tents. I'll probably buy the MEC TGV at about 1/2 the price...

Strengths: Strong and roomy for its weight
Weaknesses: low entrance
Conclusions: This is a strong and durable mountaineering tent for 2 people + gear. It is my favourite 2 person tent if I expect any kind of serious wind, cold or snow. I find it quite roomy except at the ends (including the entrance) where it narrows quite a bit. Because it is fairly long, I store packs at the end opposite the door and orient sleeping bags with the head at that end: that way the packs are at the narrowest point and you naturally sit up in the spacious mid-section of the tent.

This is not an ultra-light tent by any stretch and ventilation is limited so it is not a good choice for very warm, calm conditions.
