A properly specified two person backpacking tent, where the numbers hold up to scrutiny. The fly is 15D silicone-coated nylon rated at 5000 mm, the base is 20D silicone-coated nylon at 6000 mm, and the poles are 7001 aluminium alloy, the grade used on serious mountain tents rather than the generic alloy on cheaper ones. It pitches to 215 by 135 cm with 120 cm of height, packs to 43 by 16 cm, and comes with pegs, guylines, a groundsheet, and a repair kit.

Product Highlights
Silicone Coating, Not Just PU
Silicone-coated nylon is stronger, lighter, and ages far better than the polyurethane coatings used on budget tents. At 5000 mm on the fly and 6000 mm on the base, this is genuine wet-weather specification.
7001 Alloy Poles
7001 is a high-strength aluminium alloy, chosen for a good strength-to-weight ratio. The pole set weighs 556 g, which tells you it has been engineered rather than simply assembled.
Two Layers of Ground Protection
A 6000 mm sewn base plus a separate 4000 mm groundsheet means you can protect the tent floor from abrasion and add another barrier against wet ground.
Small in the Pack
43 by 16 cm packed is a compact cylinder that fits inside a rucksack rather than being strapped to the outside of it.
A Repair Kit in the Box
A repair sleeve for a broken pole and two heat-activated fabric patches. Small things that turn a trip-ending failure into a twenty minute job.

Important Information
- Two inner tent options appear in our supplier data, a 20D mesh for three-season use and a 15D nylon for colder conditions, but only colour can be selected here. Contact us before ordering to confirm which inner your tent will come with.
- The listed component weights total about 1.98 kg. No official packed weight is given, and stuff sacks and pegs will add to it.
- 15D and 20D nylon are light fabrics by design. Clear sharp stones from the pitch and pitch carefully to protect them.
- This tent requires assembly, and both the inner and the fly need pitching.
- Use all twelve pegs and four guylines. A lightweight tent relies on being properly tensioned.
- Do not use open flames, fuel-burning stoves, or heaters inside the tent.
- Dry the tent completely before storing it. Silicone-coated nylon lasts well, but not if packed away damp.
