This is a Moss Olympic tent in outstanding condition, Seattle era, made in USA. Although not quite as classic as the Camden, Maine Moss tents, the Seattle era Olympics are the best designed Moss tents ever made and have a few key features that make a big difference. In the case of the Olympic, Moss improved on this original, time tested Bill Moss design by adding zip-out ventilation panels in the front and rear of the tent. This greatly improves the versatility of the tent and makes it equally useful on warm weather trips as in the high mountains. The Olympic is an original Bill Moss design (many of the later produced tents were not). It is one of the most long standing Moss designs and was in their production line for three decades. The spacious floor plan and high ceiling of the Olympic, along with the added ventilation, double doors, and large, hooped vestibule, make this the ideal shelter for warm weather paddling trips, base camps and car camping. Most Moss tents with the these features Superdome, Little Dipper, etc. Tip the scales at 12 pounds plus, but the Olympic does it at 9 pounds 8 ounces. The tent is spacious for 2; Moss originally pitched it as 2-3 people. The floor space is well over 40 square feet. The condition of the tent is nearly pristine. It has only been set up outdoors a few times and has never been used overnight. If not for a few storage stains from the brass grommets (see pictures–the one pictured is the worst of 3), the tent would be in new old stock condition. The poles (including shockcord), stakes, storage bags, etc. Are all as new. The canopy (body) is pristine, as new, with no signs of fabric degradation. The fly is excellent with zero signs of use. In terms of the stickiness and odors associated with most vintage Moss tents, this fly is among the best I have seen. On a scale of 0-10, 10 being like a sticker, 0 being no detectable stickiness or degradation odor, I give this fly a “2.5″. Yes, there is some odor from storage, but not overwhelming.
