The Forge 2 is the definitive 3+ season, 2-person tunnel tent expertly engineered for rugged New Zealand backcountry and self-supported Kiwi adventures. Whether you're a hunter, trekker, cyclist, or general outdoor enthusiast, this tent provides the reliability and performance required for extended trips and diverse conditions.
What truly sets the Forge 2 tent apart is the new double door vestibule. This is a key feature often missing in modern shelters, designed specifically for challenging environments. The double door vestibule, complete with dual vents and double doors, is spacious enough to easily stash two large packs and all your gear, while still leaving a dedicated, protected area for safe indoor cooking.
As you would expect from a premium Orson tent, it features a versatile multi-pitch design. The unique design of the Forge 2 allows the flysheet to be pitched first. This not only allows you to use the fly and vestibule as a lightweight shelter without the inner during the warmer months, but it also protects both the inner tent and the user from the elements when you attach the inner tent in wet conditions. The tent is kitted out with robust extras, including double YKK zippers with luminous glow tabs, ample ventilation, colour-coded poles, and preset tension straps that make it super easy to pitch solo with a minimum of just 4 pegs. The Forge 2 offers peace of mind and comfort on any serious NZ adventure.
