Poles break or bend.
Inspect the poles for damage. If a pole is broken or bent, replace it with a new one. Ensure the poles are properly inserted and not overstressed during setup.
Difficulty setting up the tent.
Practice setting up the tent at home before your trip. Follow the setup instructions carefully and ensure all components are correctly connected. Consider watching a setup video for visual guidance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: The Solar Event 2 features an inner pitch-first design. First, lay out the inner tent. Assemble the poles and insert them into the designated pole sleeves or clips. Then, attach the flysheet, ensuring it is properly tensioned for optimal performance. Peg the tent securely to the ground, using all provided pegs and guylines, and adjust the tension as needed.
- Compatibility: The tent is compatible with standard trekking poles for additional reinforcement in windy conditions. It also works with most sleeping pads and sleeping bags designed for two-person tents.
- Care: After each use, clean the tent of any dirt or debris. If the tent is wet, ensure it is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew. Store the tent in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Regularly inspect the tent for any signs of wear and tear, and address any damage promptly. The tent's material can be cleaned with a non-detergent soap and water. Ensure all components are completely dry before storing.
