Product Description

The Squall Classic is Henry Shires's original Squall design. It was tweaked for weight reduction and a bathtub floor was also added. The final result is this amazing two person shelter that weighs about a pound and a half including pegs(4), lines, rear pole, and stuff sack!

The canopy of the Classic is made using the Gossamer Gear time tested spinnaker sail cloth. It is light, waterproof and has the added advantage over other fabrics of NOT stretching or sagging when wet or damp - minimizing or eliminating the need to get out and re-tension the lines. This iteration of the Squall comes with a rear hoop pole and utilizes a trekking pole in the front or an optional front aluminum tarp pole. The Classic is optimized for ventilation with mesh front, rear, and side panels and is accessed by a "T" zipper in the front mesh. Four stakes is the minimum amount needed to set this shelter up and there is an optional tie out on each side making set up easy. The Squall Classic also has a silnylon bathtub floor and a small front "beak" to complete this super light package.

We recommend seam sealing the Classic with Silnet for maximum performance in inclement weather. If you plan on using your Classic on rough ground we also recommend using a light ground cloth like the Polycryo ground sheet to preserve the life of the floor. If you don't hike with Trekking poles we can get the Squall Classic Front Tarp Pole at just 1.8 ounces for a 42" aluminum pole. Like all single wall shelters there is a probability of some condensation under certain conditions. The Classic is designed to minimize this and the mesh side panels provide an outlet for any condensation that does occur. Proper setup will also aid in controlling condensation. This shelter was recently field tested under ideal condensation conditions and the occupant and the floor stayed completely dry.
