Does This Backpacking Tent Deserve The Hype Durston X MID 1 Review

Backpacking Tent Ultralight, just 780g STATION13 Skylar, 1 Person Tent NEW

Ultra-Lightweight Tent – STATION13 Skylar Tent. 1 Person – 3 Season – Ultra-Lightweight Backpacking Tent – Just 780g! The Skylar is our latest and lightest one person tent. This tent is aimed primarily at solo backpackers who seriously want to travel light. Weighing in at just 780 grams, our Skylar tent is an extremely lightweight, functional, waterproof shelter. Just 780 grams in weight! Requires one trekking/walking pole. 3000mm HH silicone-coated, UV protected, 20D ripstop nylon flysheet. 3000mm HH silicone-coated 20D ripstop nylon bathtub floor. Full high density nylon no-see-um bug mesh inner tent. Small pack size: 30cm x 12cm. The weights break down as follows. Inner tent: 327 grams. Aluminium alloy tent pole: 40 grams. Superlite 5g Titanium Hook Tent Pegs (x 11): 55 grams. Guylines (x 6): 37 grams. Tent bag, peg bag: 21 grams. Total Skylar tent weight with Superlite 5g Titanium Hook Tent Pegs: 780 grams. Contents: 1 flysheet, 1 mesh inner tent, 1 three-piece short tent pole, 11 tent pegs, 6 guylines with Line-Lok tensioners. Our Skylar tent is an ultra-lightweight, one person tent for use when weight is absolutely top priority. Note: this tent requires one trekking/walking pole to erect (not included). The pocket that the walking pole is inserted into is only designed for standard upright hand grips, so walking poles with horizontal grips or Pacer Poles, will not fit into the pocket. We have had the Skylar manufactured to our specifications, and tweaked and fine-tuned to be as practical and user friendly as possible. We would describe the Skylar as a summer, 2/3 season tent due to its all bug mesh inner tent, and its certainly not a tent you would want to be camping in during the winter months. That said, the silicone-coated flysheet with its 3000mm HH will hold off all the weather the UK summer months can throw at it. The Skylar employs a small alloy pole to hold up the foot end of the tent, and one walking pole is required to hold up the head end. If you walk or hike with poles, and an ultra-lightweight tent is a necessity, then our Skylar tent could be just the thing for you. The Skylar features one large side entrance. The Skylar is a true double skin tent, with an inner nylon bug-mesh tent that can be used without the outer flysheet should conditions warrant it, i. On those very hot, balmy summer nights. Ventilation is provided by a high air vent at the head end of the tent along with a low air vent at the foot end to allow air flow and help reduce condensation. With a tent this small and this lightweight, there will always be compromises, so similar to our Whisper tent, this is a no frills, no bells and whistles tent. All the emphasis being on weight or indeed, lack thereof. This tent is all about being ultra-lightweight! Space inside the tent is enough for one person, and there is a vestibule with space enough for a pack and boots. The floor size is 200cm in length and 80cm at its widest point, going down to 50cm at the foot end. A standard sleeping pad/mat with a tapered foot end will just fit. The Skylar is 105cm high internally at its apex, and at its widest the vestibule space is 50cm. In order to keep the weight of the tent down to a minimum the outer flysheet shares 5 pegging points with the inner tent floor. The Skylar really is a specialist tent for the experienced backpacker who understands the compromises that need to be made in order to achieve the lightest possible weight. And indeed in order to achieve such a light weight, the tent has to be small and compact, and while our Skylar serves its purpose adequately in that it is a perfectly waterproof shelter to sleep in, internal space is at a premium. So, if you are over 6ft or have a large frame and like a spacious tent with room to move about and stretch your arms out, then this tent is really not for you. Perhaps look at our much roomier 1.3 kg Whisper tent instead. I should also add that this tent can be a little tricky to pitch just right, not least because the inner tent and flysheet share 5 pegging points. The flysheet pegging points are on guyline runners, so adjustable, but a little patience is required to get tensions just right in order to have a nice taut outer flysheet without the inner sagging too much, which is one reason why would suggest that this is a tent for the more experienced camper. If however you are looking to move up from the confines of a bivvy bag, then our Skylar tent could be absolutely ideal as, though its a small and compact tent, it still provides far more space than any bivvy bag can, and for very little (if any) weight increase. The Skylar is yet another lightweight solo tent to complement our other one and two person tents, with the main priority of this tent being its ultra-lightweight. The nylon bug mesh inner tent is erected first, with the short bottom pole located in its dedicated top and bottom metal eyelets, and with a walking pole inserted into the pocket at the apex we suggest an initial height of 125cm. Ground level to top of handle. Two of the guylines are required to hold up the inner tent at this point – one at the foot end, the other attached to the strap below the walking pole pocket at the head end. The outer flysheet is then draped over the inner tent and pegged out accordingly, with five of the pegging points doubling up with the inner tent floor pegging points. Additional flysheet guylines are attached and also pegged out to provide a nice taut shape. In line with our other tents, the Skylar’s seams are double-stitched and tape sealed. The Skylar is not free-standing – that is, it requires pegging out to remain upright, so would not be suitable for pitching on rocky terrain. The tent comes with six guylines with nice Line-Lok guyline tensioners for ease of use. Two guylines are for holding erect the inner tent, with an additional four guylines for the flysheet. With its extremely small pack size and ultra-light weight, we feel that the Skylar will make a great solo tent for any backpacker whose number one priority is to reduce the overall weight of their pack. Is a small family run business and as such our good name and indeed our reputation is very important to us.

Backpacking tent used, Hilleberg Anjan 2, green, 2 person, lightly used

This listing is for a lightly used, undamaged, basically like-new Hilleberg Anjan 2 Tent and includes all pieces and components which come with a new tent (2 poles, inner tent, outer tent, pegs, guy lines). Ultralight (approximately 1.7kg/3lbs 12oz). Ideal for backpacking, bicycle touring, etc. Was created specifically as a very light tent for use in snow-free conditions, and is especially good for mobile adventures. It has catenary patterning on the outer tent walls to ensure constant venting while still offering excellent protection from the rain, and its single opening pole sleeves offer quick pitching. Its inner tent has an all mesh door and a large mesh vent in the rear wall for continual air flow. For very warm conditions, you can fully roll up the rear wall of the outer tent, and you can completely roll away the Anjans vestibule. The Anjan is perfect for 3-season backpacking and summer bicycle tours, and is well-suited for hunters on scouting trips or on early season hunts. They are also ideal for warm weather comfort seekers who want to size up but still keep the weight very low: the Anjan 2 makes a deluxe solo tent. Kerlon 1000 outer tent fabric and 9mm poles make for a supremely lightweight tent that is still quite strong. 3 season design: ventilation is built into the construction, and the inner tent mesh areas have no backing fabric panels. Tunnel construction offers maximum space to weight ratio and is the ideal choice for mobile journeys. A good amount of room for two occupants and their gear. Linked but seperable inner and outer tent for simultaneous pitching. Tunnel design requires only four pegs for pitching, and the simple, single-opening, continuous sleeve and pole tensioner pole system is quick to pitch and remarkably stable. A single entrance and vestibule afford easy access and plenty of storage space, but keep the weight very low. The outer and inner tents can be used separately.

Backpacking Tent Mark V 3-5 Man Ultra light weight 6′ tall 1 Lb 11.6 Appy Trails

Backpacking Tent, a five person at 1 lb. These are serious tents at as light a weight as we could make them. And great for short trips, too. What does a tent do for you? It keeps off the rain, the dew, the wind. And it keeps in heat on a cold night. What more do you need? Especially when weight is an issue. Modern tents have become monuments to manufacturing. Bathtub floors and bug netting and stakeless setup and zippered windows and multiple pole sets are all standard. Whether you need them or not. I was over 25 before I ever saw a tent with a floor built in. With lots of poles. And you always carry a ground cloth to go with the tent. As a Boy Scout I camped many a night without any such bells and whistles. Trips on the Appalachian Trail, in snow, wind, rain, more snow this type of tent did it all. With modern materials, a good tent can be built light and strong. Thats what we have done here. We have shrunk a tents weight without compromising the basics. Product Description Single-wall design boasts low weight, while its single center pole architecture creates a stable and tight structure. As a backpacking style tent, full vestibule space is built in. The fabric is ideal for single-wall tents, not water repellent but water proof coated polyester, 185T. Only one tent pole, light and compact, and also lessening the need to carry weight by having the options of mounting using cord or a pole found at site or a hiking pole with extender (furnished). A small rear support is also furnished, but a stick can be found on site. Tensioned fabric makes the tent quiet in heavy winds. Doors use single zipper. Doors can stay open in the rain without saturating the tent. Stuffsack slightly over sized for ease of stuffing. Comes with stakes, stake bag, guy lines, stuff sack, instruction/care card/information sheet. All seams factory sealed. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent only Specifications: Sleeping capacity: 5 (see chart) Note: comfortable at three with gear Average minimum weight: 1 lbs. Weight with stuffsack: 1 lbs. Weight of stakes and stuffsack: 4.2 oz. Weight of poles: 8.9 oz. Floor dimensions: 137 x 112 inches Floor area: 69.6 square feet Height: 6 feet Vestibule area: included Floor fabric: none; requires groundcloth Pole material: Aluminum Pole: Four section pole, plus rear tensioning rod. Packed size: 4.75 x 9 inches. Fire resistant to CAPI-84 standards. We added a zippered door, stake tabs as well as grommets, tie out points, a higher and narrower foot box. And additional grommet support. A better tent and only. Ten day return for any reason. One year guarantee for manufacturing flaws. Obviously excludes abuse or fire (sparks) or a tree fall or other acts of God. This is a different concept to consider for tents. But there it is, the thundercloud on the horizon moving rapidly your way. How quickly can you get under cover? How about 3 minutes? Try that with other tents. Find a flat spot, unpack your bag and you can be inside a tent in three minutes. If no thunderstorm is on the way, thats just convenient free time. And packing up instead of packing from the inside, just remove the tent and pack it, then gather your stuff up from on top of the the groundcloth, then pack the groundcloth. No ducking into the tent and fighting with your gear. Do it from the top down. The Mark V is a new variation of an old BSA type design. Instead of handing the Scout five or so pounds of tent to carry (his half of the share with groundcloth and stakes and poles and tent and rain fly and vestibule)lets get it down to under 1 pound each for two guys, or less for three or four! And a tent that can be set up easily and quickly. High Adventure, here we come! As well as many camporees, klondikes, and overnights as well as long backpacking hikes and short. Think about it doesnt your conscience bother you when you ask a Tenderfoot that weighs 87 pounds to carry a pack of 30 or 40 pounds? This is one good step for cutting that down to size. Carry poles or tie lines ornothing. Before a backpacking trip you need to decide how you will set up the tent. Your options are not complex. First, if you are using a trekking pole, you can opt to take along an extender(needed for the five man tent, only) and use the trekking pole for your center pole. If you are going to be camping in a wooded area then you can opt to find a six foot pole (or three and a half foot) in the woods (never cut live trees for this). In the Eastern woodlands this is really easy to do. Or you can opt for no pole and take 50 of nylon twine to hang thetent from a tree branch or two. This requires some basic knowledge of knots and the same skills you might use hanging a bear bag. Or for trips close in to the trailhead you can carry a six-foot pole. The last option can be carrying the jointed pole made specifically for this tent. A groundcloth is required with all tents. You put the tent on it to protect your floor and to keep it dry. With this tent you use the groundcloth directly. Lightweight groundcloths are great for a day or two out in the wild, and weigh ounces. For extended outings you should use a heavier plastic for your ground cloth, or a Space Blanket. Concerned about not having a. On a rainy night, make your own. All you need are a few sticks of wood tucked under the ground cloth on the uphill or vulnerable side. Headroom and Elbow Room. Tired of trying to get dressed laying flat on your back, while elbowing your tent mate and banging against the roof of your shelter? You will love the five man tent! You can sit up, even play cards on a rainy night you can walk in (stooped) if it starts rainingyou have room to bring in your pack and other gear Two people have room to lay out their bags and still not be shoulder to shoulder. The feeling of claustrophobia is gone! Lots of room left in the entrance to set your packs for night access. And if you need to you can put. In there, but they have to be friendly. A stuffy tent is a pain. So would one be that acts like a solar still and has moisture condensation on the inside. To prevent this we have built in venting windows with netting to keep out the bugs. With closure flaps, of course. This gives ventilation thru the top of the tent when you want it, like a chimney with a flue. In the hot summer I have hung the tent higher and extended the stake loops so that the whole tent is a foot off the ground. This works great on a hot and stuffy night! Despite the extra weight, this is a good idea. So the tent is treated to CAPI-84 standards. With this type tent, you are not trapped inside if a disaster occurs like with most tents. You can rip your way out under the sides if you really have to. After that, if anything fails on the tent over the first year we will repair or replace the tent. Can you ask for more?

Backpacking double hammock triangle hanging tree tent two person hammock tent

We design and make the best tree tents in the world. Our designs are the best and our quality is great. Our designs are the original. We know that there are a few counterfeit products in the Market. But we design and produce our tree tents by ourselves. We are not copycats. The quality of our tree tents is great. You can search “Skysurf Outdoors” on facebook or go to our website to know more about us. You can also search. On Youtube to watch the videos. The guy in the videos using the tent is 178cm and 75KG, you can take that for reference. On Instagram and Twitter to see more pictures of our tree tents, too. We are a group of outdoor enthusiasts that have a deep love for freedom and running after our dreams. We are a group of designers that focus on creating various kinds of tree tents and we have tried our best to make them practical and simple. We love what we are doing. And we are doing what we love. For now, we have three different designs for tree tents. They are Flying fish, Air and Mini. The three designs are different and the three tree tents are for different people to satisfy their different needs. Flying fish tree tent is the first tree tent we designed. It comes with just one pole. It is simple, ultralight and small. It is a backpacking tree tent for two adults. But now we have stopped working with them, because we dont think they are an honest company. After the cooperation was broken, the T company created Flying fish plus based on our Flying fish design to compete with us. But Flying fish plus is more complex and more inconvenient to be used because there is a short pole on its head. That extra short pole is redundant and useless. The T company added a short pole there just to avoid patent infringement, because we have patent for our Flying fish in China and their factory is in China. Our Flying fish tree tent is a perfect hiking size for two adults. No more lumpy, bumpy, wet or muddy ground and all the separation you need from insects, snakes and other creepies! Flying fish tree tent comes with only one ratchet to save weight, and because of its handy size, can be set up between most tree configurations – even in more dense forest. We have worked hard to make it the best two-person suspended camping solution you will find on the market. Go forth and experience a whole new level of freedom in wild camping!

I’ve taken a look at your mark v and i gotta tell ya , it’s amazing. Let me say that i never thought i could own a tent this size and carry it in my pack! If you want a testimonial. The five man tent performed great on a trip to the wind river range in wyoming. Wind, light hail, rain and 11 year olds tested it. Performed as advertised and looked great in the process. I just hope to use it again before the snow flies!!! Photos of the tent with the circ of towers in the background did not workout due to rain and low light. It is so great to pull this out and have it set up before the other guys can get theirs out of the straps holding theirs to the pack. I haven’t seen another tent that is lighter and does the same for less than three times the cost. What does a tent do for you? It keeps off the rain, the dew, the wind. And it keeps in heat on a cold night. What more do you need? Especially when weight is an issue. Modern tents have become monuments to manufacturing. Bathtub floors and bug netting and stakeless setup and zippered windows and multiple pole sets are all standard. Whether you need them or not. I was over 25 before i ever saw a tent with a floor built in. With lots of poles. And you always carry a ground cloth to go with the tent.

As well as many camporees, klondikes, and overnights. As well as long backpacking hikes and short.

If you are going to be camping in a wooded area then you can opt to find a six foot pole in the woods (never cut live trees for this). In the eastern woodlands this is really easy to do. Or you can opt for no pole and take 50′ of nylon twine to hang the tent from a tree branch or two. This requires some basic knowledge of knots and the same skills you might use hanging a bear bag. Or for trips close in to the trailhead you can carry a six-foot pole. The last option can be carrying the jointed pole made specifically for this tent. (which does come with the tent). A groundcloth is required with all tents. You put the fancy tent on it to protect your floor and to keep it dry. With this tent you use the groundcloth directly. Lightweight groundcloths are great for a day or two out in the wild, and weigh ounces. For extended outings you should use a heavier plastic for your ground cloth, or a space blanket. Concerned about not having a. On a rainy night, make your own. All you need are a few sticks of wood tucked under the ground cloth on the uphill or vulnerable side. Headroom and elbow room. Tired of trying to get dressed laying flat on your back, while elbowing your tent mate and banging against the roof of your shelter? You will love the five man tent ! You can sit up, even play cards on a rainy night. You can walk in (stooped) if it starts raining. You have room to bring in your pack and other gear. Two people have room to lay out their bags and still not be shoulder to shoulder. The feeling of claustrophobia is gone! Lots of room left in the entrance to set your packs for night access. And if you need to you can put five. In there, but they have to be friendly. A stuffy tent is a pain. So would one be that acts like a solar still and has moisture condensation on the inside. To prevent this we have built in three venting windows with netting to keep out the bugs. With flaps, of course. This gives ventilation thru the top of the tent when you want it, like a chimney with a flue. In the hot summer i have hung the tent higher and extended the stake loops so that the whole tent is a foot off the ground. This works great on a hot and stuffy night! Ten day return for any reason. One year guarantee for manufacturing flaws.
