Outside Magazine named the Portal one of the 3 Best Tents of 2019: "the only tent we’d want on a stormy trek." The Portal was also declared "strongest tent" in Backpacker Magazine's Summer 2019 Gear Guide.
The Portal is our lightest freestanding tent at 2lbs 14oz. It's our statement piece saying you don't need to sacrifice strength, features, or durability to make an ultralight freestanding tent.
If there's a stronger sub three-pound tent out there, we have yet to find it. By incorporating several technologies from our Expedition Series tents, we were able to give the Portal a degree of stability and weather resistance previously reserved for dedicated "four-season", or more accurately, "one season" tents.
We designed the Portal with an eye for long-term durability. This means using premium fabrics with excellent UV and mildew resistance, eliminating PU coatings that break down over time, and adding extra zipper sliders to double the zippers' lifespan.
The Portal can be set up fly-first to keep the inner tent dry in rainy conditions. Instructions are found in the bottom video below.
Heading to Patagonia? Spending some time in the desert? Pick up our Heavy Duty Portal pole set. This replaces the stock 8.7mm poles with extra sturdy 10.65mm poles to provide additional wind and snow loading resistance.
To prolong the life of your Portal's floor, pick up a Portal footprint. For ultralight weather protection in non-buggy conditions, check out the Portal Tub Floor. Additional stakes and guylines can be purchased here.
The Portal is now available in a muted green/brown colorway without reflective trim for those who like to keep a lower profile.
Features
Two doors and two vestibules increase livability for two.
Two pre-installed internal guylines give the Portal great lateral stability for almost no weight increase. Click here for step-by-step instructions to install a second set of internal guylines. Click here to learn how internal guylines work.
Our new KickStand vents make ventilation a breeze. Opposing struts on the vestibule doors provide unrestricted cross-tent airflow for excellent condensation management without sacrificing weather protection.
Short pole package is perfect for bikepacking
High-volume pole structure with a swivel provides well-distributed headroom without the weakness of hubs.
Pole swivel connects long poles for easy setup
All the pockets you could ever want (two ceiling, two head, two side, one foot).
Offset vestibule design eases entry and exit.
10 external guy points and 2 perimeter pull-outs provide ample reinforcement.
External guy points are matched to toggles to attach the fly directly to the poles, increasing stability.
Matching reflective tabs on fly and tent body simplify setup.
Color coordinated stake loops for easy flysheet orientation
Can be pitched with footprint (not included) and fly for a minimalist weather shelter.
2-Side silicone impregnated flysheet and PE floor fabric are mildew-resistant and have excellent hydrolytic stability, and will last significantly longer than traditional PU-coated fabrics.
Pre-installed spare zipper sliders on every zipper double your zippers' lifespan.
Includes 10 DAC J-Stakes and 6 additional external guylines (not including 2 pre-installed internal guylines)

Seam Sealing Note: The seams on your Portal's flysheet are highly water-resistant and will handle light rain just fine
without being seam sealed. However, the three seams directly beneath the tent poles should be seam sealed for maximum waterproofness in extended, heavy rains.

I knew I had to have this disc, and boy was I not disappointed. This disc instantly bumped me up into the 1050 gang with my buddy Vinny and Birdie Mayhem. I really think Simon Liesalot should get this disc so he can start to throw far like us.
I love this disc. We’re a group of 6 old ladies and this disc works very well for all of us. I can throw it pretty straight, add a curve, or make her Annie. I can throw this approximately 200 feet and I’m 65.
Best approach disc you will find. It’s like a pig but even stickier. If you don’t know how to use it (like Zach) you probably won’t like it. Used correctly theirs nothing better
Got this during the sale, decided it was about time I got a cart even though I suck! It's nice and easy to pull around, I haven't filled it to the brim yet though so maybe the extra weight might affect overall usage. The Go Cart didn't fit in my sedan trunk but the Transit Cart does. I'm 5'4" so its a tad high when sitting but I use it more as a resting post.
The only thing and update I wish for is a bag with a strap for when the course isn't cart friendly or when playing a quick round. The water bottle holders are flimsy and feels like they'll break any second, looks like you can replace them with any bike style water bottle mount. Plan to put full metal ones on if the stock ones break. I just keep a jug of water in the disk area atm since I don't run 25 discs.
Amazing disc if you want a great 70-200 foot approach shot that sits where it hits where it hits. It is also really good for running the basket for a throw in. So in summary if you want an amazing approach disc then I recommend the nova.
