Construction + Materials

Fly is Dominico® undyed polyester ripstop made with high tenacity yarns which increase tear strength by 20-25% over standard nylon or polyester ripstop fabrics. Also provides high UV resistance and stability during temperature and moisture fluctuations, allowing for a solid and stable pitched tent 

Fly is silicone-treated with 1200mm waterproof polyurethane coating plus an additional coating on the face of the fabric to increase tear strength and UV resistance

Floor is nylon taffeta with a 10,000mm waterproof polyurethane coating

Tent body is  nylon ripstop breathable and polyester mesh

The material uses a unique pigment dye coloring process that resists fading and increases UV resistance; extending the longevity of the fabric when used in high altitude conditions.         

All seams taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape (No PVC or VOC's)

Ultralight plastic clips attach tent body to pole frame

Here’s what other people think.

What’s in a Name?

The Copper King Mine and Milling Company, established in 1915, ended its reign on a sour note. Stockholders realized too late that the sketchy operation was nothing more than a promotional scam and many took incredible losses. The road to the mine serves as an easy two-track spur off a much larger network of trails just up the hill from our original warehouse.
