I’m a British Royal Marines Commando and we used this tent in subzero snowy temperatures in Norway. Best tent I’ve ever used. Not one bit of moisture got in the tent and we had 70mph wind smashing against it also.

I would be very surprised if the tent wasn't coated in NIR blocking material (what uniforms have - at least in the Australian Army, the uniform changed design at the same time, and they got nicknamed NIR's) NIR isn't thermal though, that would be almost impossible to block, but rather it would help with NIR or what NVGs see (although NVGs do go all the way to SWIR) they help to reduce the reflected NIR light back so that NVGs don't pick you up as well.

I’m in the Canadian Army and I would absolutely invest in this tent ! Yeah $2300 + tax + tariffs is a lot, but doing Army stuff is a lot different than weekend camping. I’ve been in the Army for 17years, done tours overseas, and countless exercises in all weather. For me it’s difficult to put a price on the comfort of being able to crawl into your own dry space after being on patrol for days. Government contracts are a bit of a joke, and I’m sure they could produce this tent for less. But go try spending a month in a 20year old 5 or 10 man tent, with a bunch of snoring, farting, Army guys, and tell me you wouldn’t want this tent !!! Sgt Dolan

170k annually is damn good money for a salary, a person could live literally anywhere in the US comfortably. The average US citizen barely breaks 20-25k in the same time span, just over 1/8th of their salary...as a voluntary public servant. These members of congress should (In a world with justice) be making around the same as our military servicemen/women or less, considering they're not on a battlefield. Our system today is an embarrassment to the constitution that started it.

Let me school on how Procurement works in the Military… Military is a mix of government and civilian organizations. When a requirement is identified, a host of people write up the request, the private sector answers that request, and a bunch of other people evaluate what the private sector provides as a solution. Someone else in the government makes a decision. Then an entirely different government organization fields the equipment and another organization provides logistics and sustainment for said equipment. When the equipment no longer has any use, yet another organization disposes of it. Every single person at every organization that touches that equipment loads their operating costs to the overall price of the equipment. So a $500 tent becomes a $2300 tent.

Actually 2.3k isn't bat at all. Think about it. This thing is probably made in the USA, with high quality materials (low ir signature and all) and in small numbers. So the R&D costs are high per tent. Let's say you got $300 in material that leaves you with 2k in labor which would be 40h with a $50 payrate. So a worker could make 1 tent a week. I don't think it's a rip off at all.

This tent is designed to be used as the comms tent for special forces while conducting special reconnaissance operations deep in enemy territory, as in a observation post. The secondary tent would be ideal to conceal a SATCOM antenna, like the GATR Flex, which runs for about 50k per antenna and a SDN-Lite terminal($$$). The height of the tent is also ideal for the commo Sgt. to operate the sat radio while on a kneeling position. This tent is not designed for regular army troops to sleep in, but to provide cover and IR concealment for SF forces, OGAs and chiefly their equipment, while performing recon. And is definitely not made for the recreational camper in mind.

I dont see it being used by anyone thats really doing a "mission". You can last weeks in the field with a poncho. Extreme cold weather you want a better tent you can cook in and dry your clothes. Some lucky tent manufacturer got lucky with a huge expensive order from the government. Im sure its a great tent but totally useless in the military for war time applications. Great video brother.

This tent was designed for small 4 man long range recon teams setting up complex time consuming operations (you see the seals on tv jumping in on an objective at night the teams that field these are the reason they know where to jump) the Gor-Tex fabric blocks all IR, FLIR and thermal signatures ( we are not the only country with predators, ravens and thermal) the linking system is to have the ability to link data cables and electronic equipment without giving off said signatures no most marines and soldiers have never seen these because those soldiers and marines are not doing these types of operations or even know the operators that are doing them( most of the operators that use these have “BOB” or “Steve” on their name tape) and people will say it’s to heavy to move fast. Heavy is a relative term considering all the equipment needed for satellite communications and data transfer in a 3rd word country

Granted the LTO tracker is kind of pricey, and it's kind of bulky for a cheap drone -- it's at least 2 generations behind good modern (state of the art) milspec night-vision. But it also works differently from modern military night-vision too. And I realize that an IR remote-control is probably not gonna pass military muster, security-wise... but it easily bleeds through the fabric. We did not try any of the covers, however, because we only had 3 hours.

At first I was just like everyone in the comments, but after reading one guy's justification on the price it makes sense. Blocking all IR, thermal, and other scanning signatures, blocking all light internally, etc, sounds like it could be super expensive. For SEALs and other advanced combat fighters I could see these being super useful. Just not for the average soldier.

Ben I don't think so. And i agree with Robert Amy. The fact that the material was designed between the tent company and gore itself indicates that there were some advanced requirements. The company also said it was designed for special operations, and that they were linkable for "communications and planning." I would bet that they emit no heat signature or light. Those requirements are what make it expensive.

It’s not that bad. Building to milspec always adds to the cost. In reality, goretex is expensive stuff. Jackets are regularly $500 and up. Add some costs for a custom color and surface coating. Quieter fabrics tend to cost more. A one person tent has much more fabric than a jacket. The camouflage covers are going to add to the costs. The customized connection feature adds costs. On the civilian market, Black Diamond makes a single wall winter/mountaineering tent with side doors that runs $700 retail plus the cost of the footprint and an optional vestibule. It and the rest of that line of tents are in a proprietary waterproof breathable fabric bought from the original manufacturer not Goretex but similar. That line of tents is also only available in a very bright yellow which isn’t optimal for military use.

It’s made of custom Gor-Tex, my Gor-Tex mountaineering jacket cost $600 so I can believe it. Since this version of Gor-Tex material was researched, developed, tested and built to meet specific military requirements Gor-Tex spent a shitload of money to develop it. Since it cannot be sold on the civilian market and only a very small percentage of the entire military will ever use or have the need for it Gor-Tex has to recoup their R&D for this product somehow and that’s why they cost $2,300. This is the same reason why your college text books cost hundreds of dollars and not the $35 you pay for hard cover books online or your local bookstore - very limited circulation.

I know it is expensive, I have shoes using it too. A consumer product would still be less expensive due to various reasons such as higher production rates = more savings on material orders and potentially automated manufacturing processes. Other products using it are not just expensive because of the material alone but other features and manufacturing processes as well, in case of this tent the actual production of it isn't actually that complex so the majority of the cost would come from the material itself.

I worked two DOD contracts overseas and we obtained these tents through Navy Supply Corps even though we were assigned to setting up water bladders and fortified conex boxes for the US Army. We usually kept these tents in our own construction conex containers after a few small plywood barracks could be built for ourselves, depending on the mission. We did zip a couple of tents together to store small generators along with a few other tools when one conex got cluttered. Overall, our tents were pretty durable with only a couple damaged out of about two dozen or so. Pretty decent protection from the cold and almost waterproof.

Well yes - you could take a taxi to the hospital for a few bucks, or have your mates chuck you into the back of the ute, during a heart attack or after a serious road accident, or delivering your baby, or with your arm/leg/face ripped off, or with 3rd degree burns etc., but I think the Taxi driver would not be too happy about his upholstery and you would miss all the life-saving bits and pieces that an ambulance just happens to have. The cost is not what you declare, "On average, an ambulance company will charge anywhere from $350 to as much as $2,000 for a trip without insurance." Get insured. Hamburgers and sandwiches and cakes at the hospital cafeteria cost the same as elsewhere, but you could call your Mum and she will cook/prepare these things perhaps just for you and drive alllll the way there like family and friends do. Get some friends. And research properly before making public comments. Lol.

An interesting style, but I will choose to leave out the multiple paragraphs of nonsensical drivel while making my point, to save us both time. I have insurance. When you have insurance, you still get to see how your insurance was billed. My insurance was billed just under $7,500 for an ambulance ride. My insurance was billed just under $70 for a meal delivered to my room, the only meal I ordered being a hamburger. You say "get some friends" but that is clearly a hypocritical statement, being that if you had any yourself you would not be so bitter.

Gortex was designed to allow moisture to escape yet keep heat in. It was expensive then, and still expensive now. I am sure with NEMO collaborating with Gortex, the final product would be extremely expensive, and very unique. That would account for the high price, for research, and development of a unique material only made for the Military.

Maybe somebody else pointed this out already further down, but "advance communications" don't mean sharing a tent with your best buddy. It means you can pitch up two tents in an advance position (ie close to or beyond a frontline) and use that as a base. You can get a small team out of the rain, have some soup, discuss the next move, set up a radio and talk to HQ. Basically two of these and a radio will make a very small, but camouflaged and roofed, command center.

I used it in northern Norway in -32 degrees celsius during the winter. And it was a RAIN-PONCHO! Light, and easy to carry. :D

Pretty cool tent. Looks very durable. I can imagine it brings a lot more peace of mind to a soldier compared to "civilian" tents. Just imagine yourself in combat, desperate for some sleep and your flimsy "affordable" ultralight tent fails. The communication join is probably also great for spending time planning a move or tending for someone else's injuries while sheltered. Sure is expensive, but consider that should be really durable, uses advanced, bespoke materials and is possibly produced on more limited runs. Would be brilliant at half the weight.

@@ben-xl7ne it strongly depends on different factors. first of all, iv the vents are opened or closed, obviously. but what isnt that obvious is the size of the vents, which are pretty big and thats does indeed contrubute to the claim its heat detection proof. why you ask? cause you actually determin the heat differences and with those big vents the heat spreads way more outside, than it would with a much smaller vent. another contributing factor i can imagine is the material itself. the moment he said something about the ffeling of the material inside made me thing that it may had slightly insulating properties. like glas for example, in infrared glas opaque, while in the visible spectrum u can look through it. maybe its something similar, result-wise. that it may not block everything, but a lot of it. if now there is a a little bit of wind, that tiny bit heat gets scattered completly and the outside of the tend is cooled, making it then invisble. however, pure speculation based your question.

@@locutusvonborg2k3 Thanks for the reply. Your speculation allowed me to think it through more and as long as the material has some form of IR absorption it will now be a much larger thermal mass that will act as a heat spreader. Vents look too be line of sight blocked by top cover so everything will dissipate over large area. Side note: while glass absorbs IR it does still get hot which makes it emit its own IR which is weird to thinks about. Side side note: microwaves are not absorbed by glass until it’s red hot then it does so you can heat glass with a blow torch then melt it in a microwave.

@@ben-xl7ne nono, u got me wrong, the material doesnt need an absorption, but an insulation. thats why i ment, the when he said the inside is so smooth. anyways, having the tent itself acting as a heatspreader is also possible. but that would make the scenario using it in sub-zero temps pretty bad. cause, you want to preserve the heat, otherwise it gets cold very quick. thats why i was more keen to the idea of insulation. regarding the glass, it wasnt about getting hot or not. maybe it was a bad example, just wanted to explain that there are differences between visible and ir, which feel counterintuitiv. i wasnt saying anything about microwaves tho. microwaves to increase the energy level of elements, which then leads electrons get to higher orbits. when they get back, the energy released is dissipated as radiation, different kinds of it. however, because glas itself is pretty inert, the microwaves dont do much, it only starts when heating the glass, so the elemets within the glass can be acffected. anyways, i do think such a tent with the told abilities is clearly in the possible range.

I'm Army active duty and I have been issued an Army tent before in Hawaii. Some of the living conditions in Hawaii, specially with all the rain and centipedes (which bite really hard by the way ) makes it for us easier when it comes to taking care of our troops since they live in some harsh conditions. Now, with that being said, I ended up buying my own one person tent on Amazon which is ALSO issued by the Army and the reason I bought it was because it was 1/3rd of the weight compared to the one I was issued. Going up and down hills, mountains, with a full kit, bullet proof vest, rounds, extra gear, weapon and all the tons of stuff that we carry, an extra 6 pounds make a world of difference. The one I was issued weights about 9 pounds compared to the one I bought which is 3 pounds. In the military we have a saying, ounces make pounds, so we have to learn to pack smart and efficiently but most of the time we are giving a packing list and guess what, we are humping everything I just described PLUS the packing, PLUS the tent, so it takes a toll on our bodies. I've only been in the Army a little over 7 years now and I've already broken many parts of my body, plus lots of back pain everyday. Also, let me point out that only SOME units, a small percentage of the Army gets issued tents. It took me 5 years to find out they we had them. Overall, this tent looks awesome, seems like it can withstand a lot of weather abuse, however, it is not worth paying $2,300 for and I'm not surprised. I've seen some really dumb items cost over $4,000 dollars for something that should cost maybe $200 bucks. Anyways, this is just my opinion, but maybe I'm not seeing the bigger picture.

Actually owning one of these tents, albeit a single person model, they are awesome. The single person tent is light fast to put up and breathe very well. I take it backpacking since the single is nearly half the weight. Bedroll, sleeping bag and the tent fit in a large rucksack with room to spare. Only thing is the single is nearly all mesh with a fly covering. So it's not a 4 season by any means. The one in the video is by far more developed thanks to feedback from the special forces. So to anyone that is currently in service, make friends with your supply NCO. Make their life easy and they'll repay in kind.
