Snugpak Scorpion 2

The Snugpak Scorpion 2 IX is a four-season, two-person tent engineered for mountaineers, climbers, military personnel, and serious campers who need a weatherproof, fast-deploying shelter that packs small enough to disappear into a load. The fly-first pitch design gets weather protection up immediately using an opposing pole system that minimizes condensation buildup inside the tent. The 210T Polyester Ripstop flysheet carries a 5000mm waterproof polyurethane coating with taped seams throughout, and the bathtub-style 190T Nylon groundsheet adds a matching 5000mm waterproof rating underfoot. Inside, the 81 x 43 inch sleeping area provides genuine two-person space in a head-to-toe arrangement, with a front porch that adds covered storage and can seat up to six people in an emergency. At a packed size of 17 x 7 inches, the Scorpion 2 IX earns its reputation as a true four-season shelter that doesn't sacrifice packability.

Four-Season Weather Protection With Fly-First Fast Deployment

Features

• The fly-first pitch design deploys weather protection immediately — the flysheet goes up first using an opposing pole system, so the sleeping area stays dry during setup even in active rain.
• The opposing pole design minimizes condensation buildup inside the tent by creating improved airflow separation between the fly and the inner, keeping the sleeping environment drier overnight.
• The inner tent uses 50D Polyester No-See-Um Mesh construction that blocks insects, snakes, and debris from entering the sleeping area while maintaining maximum airflow on warm nights.
• Three vents provide active air circulation through the tent body, reducing interior condensation and improving breathability across a range of overnight temperatures.
• Ten interior mesh pockets — five on each side — plus a head-end hanging loop keep headlamps, phones, and small gear organized and off the tent floor throughout the night.
• The spacious front porch provides covered storage for boots, packs, and wet gear, and creates enough sitting space to shelter up to six people in an emergency situation.
• Sixteen alloy Y-stakes and multiple stake-down points anchor the Scorpion 2 IX securely across soil conditions from soft ground to firm-packed terrain.
• The included basic repair kit provides field-level maintenance capability for minor fabric damage — note that glue is not included.
• At a packed size of 17 x 7 inches with a compression storage bag, the Scorpion 2 IX fits inside or lashes cleanly to any pack without consuming excessive volume.
