Based on Slingfin's popular CrossBow Four-Season tent, the Indus is simplified and beefed up to meet the demands of guides, river runners, overlanders, and outfitters of various kinds.
Maybe you'd rather have rock-solid gear that doesn't have to be babied. For people whose top priority in a tent is durability, the Indus delivers. With the same impeccable construction as the rest of our tents, the Indus delivers four-season protection at a great value thanks to its heavier (read: more durable) materials.
The Indus uses Expedition Series fabrics and beefy #8 zippers to withstand wear and tear from clients, the dusty winds of the desert, and the withering UV of the high alpine. With non-hydrolyzing Sil/Sil (flysheet) and PE (floor) coatings, you'll probably be able to pass the Indus along to your kids (or their kids).
