Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the hydrostatic head of the flysheet and groundsheet?

The flysheet has a 4000mm hydrostatic head, and the groundsheet has a 5000mm hydrostatic head, providing excellent water resistance.

How many people can comfortably sleep in this tent?

This is a 2-person tent, offering comfortable sleeping arrangements for two adults, with additional space for gear.

What are the packed dimensions?

The packed dimensions are not specified, but it comes with a heavy-duty stuff sack for storage and transport, designed to be as compact as possible.

Can I use this tent in strong winds?

The durable alloy poles and guylines provide good stability. However, like all tents, performance in extreme winds depends on proper pitching and site selection.

What material is the tent made from?

The flysheet is made of 210T Polyester ripstop, and the groundsheet is made of 190T Polyester. The poles are lightweight aluminum 7001.

Does the tent have mesh windows for ventilation?

Yes, the entrance features a two-way zipper and a mesh window to improve airflow while keeping insects out.

How heavy is the tent?

The tent weighs 3.355kg, making it relatively lightweight for its size and features.

Troubleshooting

Tent leaks during rain

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and taped. Check the hydrostatic head rating; if it's old, re-waterproofing might be necessary. Make sure the groundsheet is fully deployed and staked out.

Condensation inside the tent

Utilize the two-way zip ventilation at the door top to increase airflow. Avoid cooking inside the tent. Ensure sleeping bags and gear are not pressed directly against the tent walls.

Poles are difficult to insert or remove

Ensure the poles are aligned correctly with the shock cord. Clean any dirt or debris from the pole sections and ferrules. If a section is bent, carefully try to straighten it or replace the damaged section.

Tent fabric feels sticky or degraded

This can indicate material breakdown due to age or improper storage. Store the tent clean and completely dry in a temperate environment. Consider a seam-sealing treatment if leakage occurs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous living and storage space for extended trips.
  • Robust waterproofing keeps occupants dry in wet conditions.
  • Lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy poles.
  • Includes practical features like an internal mesh pocket and clothesline.
  • Easy to pitch for its size and design.

Cons

  • Tunnel design might be less intuitive to pitch for beginners compared to dome tents.
  • Specific care is needed for polyester materials to maintain waterproofness.
  • Can be bulky when packed, even with the provided stuff sack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack the tent and identify the poles, flysheet, and groundsheet. Insert the alloy poles into the designated sleeves on the flysheet, and then attach the flysheet to the poles using the toggles. Stake out the tent and secure the guylines. Ensure the groundsheet is spread out evenly before pitching.

Compatibility: This tent is designed for ground camping and is compatible with standard tent pegs and guy lines. It is suitable for use in most temperate climates.

Care: Clean the tent using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh detergents. Always dry the tent completely before storing to prevent mildew. Store the tent in its heavy-duty stuff sack in a cool, dry place. Regularly check pole sections for damage and inspect seams for any wear.
