The Ikos EVO is robust, practical and versatile – equally happy pitched on a campsite or in the hills. Just like its lighter sibling, the Telos, it features Tension Ridge architecture that gives you proper headroom and taller doors, while vertical sidewalls mean the floor area actually translates to usable space rather than theoretical square metres. The improved Apex vent with closeable air scoops deals with condensation without letting the rain in, and the symmetrical design with colour-coded poles means you can pitch it half-asleep in the dark without getting confused. Both sizes now include a gear loft and footprint, which should've always been standard at this price point – the footprint protects the floor and enables fly-only pitching or dry takedown in wet conditions. The TR2 offers 2.9m² floor area at 2,286g trail weight; the TR3 expands to 4.46m² at 2,913g for three people (or two with mountains of kit). Proven DAC MX poles handle wind loading better than cheaper alternatives, and the multiple setup options mean you can adapt to everything from blazing sun to sideways rain.
What is it that attracts us to the idea of adventure? For Sea to Summit, it’s about freedom and self-reliance – the ability not just to survive, but to thrive in any environment. But although the brand takes its gear seriously, it does so with trademark Aussie humour and blunt, no bullsh*t candour. That’s the way it’s always been, ever since founder Roland Tyson made his first outdoor gear on an old industrial sewing machine in his childhood bedroom back in 1983, at the age of 17. Soon he was designing and manufacturing equipment for other Australian adventurers – and in 1991, he outfitted an unusual first ascent of Everest, in the form of a 1,126 kilometre journey from sea level to the mountain’s 8,848-metre summit. The name Sea to Summit was born.
In 1993, Roland was joined by Penny Sanderson, another Aussie explorer and innovator. Their designs were honed on their adventures, as they spent months climbing, sailing, trekking, overlanding and biking. Nearly thirty years later, Sea to Summit is still 100% Aussie owned and operated, and still putting painstakingly designed gear into the hands of customers worldwide.
