"Traditional "double-walls" consist of a canopy covered by a rain-fly. Most single-wall shelters feature just one fabric layer, usually a waterproof/breathable laminate. Top-of-the-line single walls are among the highest quality and most expensive available. Since they're light, compact, and easily pitched compared to double-wall models, these are the shelters of choice on mountaineering expeditions where wind and snowstorms are fierce. Good vents are essential on single-walls because they are prone to heavy condensation. The best single-wall are seam-taped; those that aren't require zealous sealing and maintenance."

AESS and MFPS products designed and manufactured by PAC RES GRU are single wall shelters. They are available as a complete package, or, if you wish, by shelter only, shelter with LowLoft system, or shelter with self-inflating mattress.
We use only the best quality components in our products, many of which are easily recognized brand names; such as Easton, MSR, Cascade Designs, Therma-Rest, YKK, Crank Brothers, and Schrader-Bridgeport.
Some will wonder about the full or total weight of our systems, but one has to remember and compare the full performance spectrum of our products against those whom compete against us. When you purchase a complete AESS product from us, it is fully capable of functioning in the temperature ranges of 40° C/104° F to -40° C/-40° F and with no additional purchases required.
Should you decide to only purchase an AESS shelter alone, or shelter with the LowLoft system, or shelter with self-inflating mattress, the performance values are dependent upon the capabilities of the equipment you already own or are buying elsewhere. Typically there's never been a problem with this, but one just never knows.
One must also note that our product has Optimal Beathability, that they are 100% windproof, 100% waterproof, 100% bio-degradeable, 100% recyclable and will last a minimum of five years, even if you use it every day that you own it.
Over the past five years, our AESS and MFPS products have been utilized by military personnel in all seasons, weather and conditions, and in a myriad of locations including Canada, the Arctic, the United States, Iraq, Afghanistan and Mongolia. There have been many design changes and improvements of mateirals in that time, resulting in the lightest and most capable versions to date. But never at any time has one of our products failed to perform as required, as advertised.
One should also note that when the day comes that their AESS or MFPS product no longer functions as stated (and it eventually will), that one can "recycle" it back to us and receive a 25% discount on the purchase of a similar or better product. Guaranteed.
Sincerely,
Stephen Jacura, President/COO
