Stevenson Warmlite Tent & Sleep System

Stephenson did some wacky things back then! This one might top them all.

My 1995 Stephenson 2R has an inner layer of ‘reflective’ ripstop in the main part of the tunnel. It’s a warm tent for sure, but a sleeping bag still comes in handy, lol. The aluminized fabric also keeps condensation from forming in that area.

Btw, I have it listed for sale in gear swap. It was awhile ago, so several pages back by now. I think I asked $165.

Thanks for the info.

I don’t recall seeing info on that tent but one that would know is bruce Johnson.

BTW, this is a Mylar Warmlite tent from the mid 70’s

Like Nunatak, I also had a Warmlite with the reflective interior. It was a nice shelter overall, but definitely not warm enough to camp without a sleeping bag. While not part of your question, I also didn’t really like the pre-formed poles. Made setting up at night a pain in the butt, since you needed to have the poles put together and inserted into the sleeve just so.
