Rogen

SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION, the Rogen has become one of the top tents of choice for any trip in snow-free conditions. Its self-supporting dome structure, which requires only the vestibules to be pegged out, along with two vestibules that each have two doors, offers plenty of space, comfort and weather protection, while curved patterning on the bottom of the outer tent walls and all-mesh inner tent doors provide constant, full-time air flow. Either door on the vestibules can be used for entry and exit, offering excellent flexibility, and both doors can be partially or completely rolled away for extra air flow. Guy lines on the bottom edge of the head and foot ends of the tent can be adjusted for more ventilation, or in less than fine conditions, for more weather protection.

Available in 2-and 3-person sizes, the Rogen’s roomy interior, versatile venting, remarkably low weight, and dual-vestibule comfort will appeal to paddlers, summer mountain scramblers, backpackers and bicycle tourers, among others. Because of its light weight, the Rogen 2 can make a great choice for solo travelers who value roominess and maximum comfort, and is still very enjoyable for two people. Similarly, the Rogen 3 comfortably sleeps three adults, but is also a wonderfully roomy option for a pair, or one person traveling with a big dog.

“Rogen” is a nature preserve in northern Sweden that is famous for its canoeing.
