Product Information
Full details
The Wild Country Murlan Elite 2 Tent is designed for adventurers facing challenging conditions, offering robust stability and excellent weather protection for two people. Its primary benefit is its durable, geodesic construction and high waterproof rating, providing a reliable shelter in demanding environments. A potential caveat is its 3.5kg weight, which may be a consideration for ultralight backpackers, though it can be split for easier carrying. Key features include a 4,000mm waterproof flysheet, geodesic pole design for stability, dual porches for storage, and excellent ventilation to manage condensation.

How many people can comfortably sleep in this tent?
It is a 2-person tent. While designed for two, it offers a spacious interior for two people with gear.
Can I pitch the tent alone?
Yes, the color-coded poles and inner-first pitching design make it manageable for a single person to pitch.
What are the dimensions when packed?

What is the advantage of the RipStop Grid in the flysheet?
The RipStop Grid is embedded within the nylon flysheet to reduce the impact of tears and prevent them from spreading, increasing the tent's durability.
Troubleshooting
Tent leaks during heavy rain.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check the hydrostatic head rating of the flysheet and groundsheet. If leaks persist, consider using a seam sealer on critical seams.
Excessive condensation inside the tent.
Maximize ventilation by opening vents and mesh panels. Ensure the inner and outer tents are not in direct contact where possible. Avoid cooking inside the tent unless absolutely necessary and ensure good airflow.
Poles are difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure pole sections are fully seated. Check for any debris in the pole sleeves or connectors. Avoid forcing the poles, which could damage them.
Guylines are not holding tension.
Ensure guylines are attached to secure anchor points. Adjust the tensioners correctly. If guylines are frayed, they may need replacement.
Zippers are stiff or sticking.
Clean zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant. Avoid pulling zippers with excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Murlan Elite 2 Tent features a color-coded pole system and a flysheet-first pitching design (or inner first, then flysheet). It's recommended to pitch the inner tent first, then add the flysheet, especially if weather conditions are poor. The symmetrical geodesic design, combined with lightweight alloy poles, makes pitching straightforward. Ensure guylines are tensioned correctly and all pegs are firmly secured for maximum stability.
Compatibility: This tent is designed as a 4-season shelter, suitable for a wide range of conditions. The materials are designed to be durable and weather-resistant. It is compatible with standard camping equipment and groundsheets.
Care: To maintain the tent's performance, always dry it completely before storing to prevent mildew. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically check seams and re-apply seam sealant if necessary. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original bag, loosely packed.
