NEMO Equipment TENSH - Manual (Page 3)

Tent Setup
1. Lay out the contents of Tenshi™ and make sure that you
received all of the following items: tent, stuff sack, vestibule,
Condensation Curtain™, 2 straight poles, a curved vestibule pole,
8 stakes, 4 guy lines, Seamgrip® with nozzle, pole repair sleeve,
and Tear-Aid™ patches.
2. NOTE: TENT IS NOT FULLY WATERPROOF UNTIL IT IS
SEAMSEALED . In some areas of the tent, seams are sewn directly
through the tent shell to create a very strong construction. Water
can leak through these areas so it is necessary to cover the
stitching with Seamgrip®. The Seamgrip® also adds strength so
you may choose to apply it to all exterior seams. However, it is
only necessary in the areas highlighted below.
To seam seal your tent, first locate the areas highlighted above.
These are the locations of pole wraps, the STAT™, the top of rear
door , and vent seams. Clean any dirt or moisture off the surface.
Carefully squeeze the Seamgrip® through the applicator tip
onto the stitching. Use only enough to completely cover the
stitching. Be careful not to contaminate zippers and Velcro®.
Allow at least 24 hours for curing before use. If the Seamgrip®
remains tacky, you can lightly dust the fully cured Seamgrip®
with talcum powder.

NEMO Innovation
1. Sleep Tight Anchor Transfer™ (STAT™): when you pitch your
Tenshi™ on narrow ledges or other high exposure areas, STAT™
provides a waterproof, convenient, and direct method of
transferring your anchor into the tent. This reduces the amount of
slack in the system without compromising the weatherproofness
of the tent.
2. Condensation Curtain™: normal breathing will create a good
deal of moisture inside your tent. Most will escape through the
breathable tent shell, but as with all tents, some moisture may
condense on the surface. The Condensation Curtain™ helps keep
moisture and frost contained in a small portion of the tent. Use
the vents and the front door to keep as much of the moisture
moving out of the tent as possible. The curtain also has its own
tie-back loop if you want to hold it out of the way.
3. Venting: Tenshi™ has three internally deployable overhead
vents in addition to a rear window for added air circulation.
Pressure Porting™ on the largest two overhead vents help reduce
forces on the seams during high winds.
4. Vestibule: the full-size included vestibule provides plenty of
additional space for gear storage and a dry entry during bad
weather. On sunny days, the vestibule is easily removed by
unzipping it from the tent. Pile snow or stack ropes over the snow
skirt to help keep out the wind.
