The Slingfin Portal 3, the 3-person version of Slingfin's best-selling Portal tent, retains the best features of the 2-person version and increases the size to accommodate a third adventurer. Like its smaller siblings, the Portal 3 maximises the strength-to-weight ratio by using several features developed for Slingfin's Expedition Series tents, such as the OutRigger attachment, pre-installed internal storm lines and numerous external storm lines.
As you might have guessed, the Portal 3 is more than a scaled-down version of the Portal 2. The Portal 3 has been built from the ground up with as much attention to detail as the original Portal. For example, the Portal 3 has stronger poles to compensate for the tent's larger wind profile and a divided storage compartment in the ceiling near the headboard for better accessibility for multiple people. The Portal 3 has been extensively tested in the most extreme conditions to ensure the tent will be a steadfast companion no matter where the trail (or river, or road) takes you.
Slingfin uses a 10D Nylon 66 Ripstop outer tent with silicone coating that is basically magic, with better UV resistance than fabrics three times heavier, super-low water absorption (so fast drying times) and incredible resistance to mould and mildew. The silicone coating does not break down when your tent is stored in your closet and does not cause that "old tent smell" that develops over time in tents you love. The 20D PE-coated tent floor fabric strikes a good balance between light weight and durability and does not absorb water, unlike PU-coated tent floor fabrics. It also has much more hydrolytic stability than PU coatings and does not flake and stink over time. Pre-installed spare liners on all zips double the life of your zips and eliminate the need for half-baked repairs in the field.
To extend the life of the floor of your Portal, we recommend buying a Slingfin Portal 3 Footprint. An added benefit of using the footprint is that it reduces condensation inside the tent at night.
