Vintage 70′s Coleman canvas tent. Measures 11′ x 8′, x 79 at its peak. I think it even has the original stakes. This tent looks very gently used. It has some dirt spots on the back wall and near the foot of the door, but nothing really major. Zippers are smooth and it’s very clean. This American Heritage tent model has 4 windows with screens, one being on the door. The screens have no issues. Dated in the 70s. For the age, it’s incredible shape. The only issue is two of the tent pole nipples are broken off which is very common for these tent poles. I use the thin L shaped stakes to replace the nipples and it works great. You won’t be disappointed with this tent. The item “Vintage Canvas Tent Coleman American Heritage Camping 11 x 8 1970s Large Peaked” is in sale since Tuesday, August 01, 2017.

The tent performed outstandingly well on thru-hikes of the Appalachian Trail and Mountain to Sea Trail and is in what I consider good condition. However, please remember that this is a used tent and has been used with hiking for approximately 5,000 miles and 300 uses. I have repaired a small hole in the corner with cuben fiber seam tape. The tent has always been used on a Tyvek ground sheet. Trekking poles are required for setup, and are not included. It takes about 10 minutes to pitch once you become accustomed to the setup. It is also important to note that cuben fiber does not stretch taut like silnylon and other more common tent fabrics, which is simply the nature of the material. The tent specifications are below as provided by HMG. Hyperlite Mountain Gear expanded a niche in the ultralight shelter category they created an ultralight modular shelter system in which the components can be used separately or together. The components are: a catenary tarp, a mesh insert, and a front beak. The complete shelter adds up to a well-ventilated double-wall tent with full weather protection, or you can use the mesh insert or tarp separately when conditions allow. And HMG went to the extreme on the materials Cuben Fiber so these shelters are extremely light. The Echo I (one person) weighs just 23.6 ounces (669 g), and the Echo II (two people) weighs 29.9 ounces (848 g), with guylines but without stakes. Hyperlite Mountain Gear Echo I.

Adjustable trekking poles required, stakes not included. 82 in (208 cm) long x 32 in (81 cm) wide at head end x 20 in (51 cm) wide at foot end, front height 38 in (97 cm). Modular design, lightweight fabrics, catenary ridgeline and Spectra core guylines with line-locks on tarp, full-width zippered entry door on insert, full-height water-resistant zipper with two pulls on beak. Echo I: 12 in x 10 in x 3 in (30 x 25 x 8 cm). Echo I measured weight 23.7 oz (672 g). Echo I 22.9 oz (649 g). Echo I floor area 18 ft. , vestibule area 6.1 ft. , total protected area 24.1 ft. Protected Area/Trail Weight Ratio. Echo I 16.85 ft. /lb 3.45 m. This is a full-fledged Cuben Fiber catenary tarp with fully bonded and reinforced ridgeline and tieouts. HMG uses a stronger weight of Cuben Fiber (CF8), which is 0.78 oz/yd2 (26.4 g/m2). The Echo 1 Tarp provides 51 ft2 (4.74 m2) of protected area and weighs 8.1 ounces (230 g, measured weight) with guylines. The mesh insert has elastic cords (three at each end) that connect to rings on the tarp. Its easy to install after the tarp is set up, or it can be left connected and set up as a unit. The lower sidewalls are Cuben Fiber CF8 and the bathtub floor is heavier Cuben Fiber CF15 (1.48 oz/yd2/50.2 g/m2) for extra durability. The Echo I insert weighs 11 ounces (312 g, measured) and provides 18 ft2 (1.67 m2) of floor area. The front beak provides a vestibule-protected entry for the shelter.
