    Ultralight Backpacking Tent – GeerTop PYRAMID. 1 Person – 3 Season – High Quality – High Performance – Ultralight Backpacking Tent. Flysheet: 20D 360T silicone-coated, ripstop PU nylon with taped Seams + UV protection – hydrostatic head: 3000mm. Inner tent: Fine nylon no-see-um bug mesh. Bathtub floor: 55D PU waterproof polyester – hydrostatic head: 5000mm. 16 x Aluminium alloy tent pegs + 6 x guylines. Weight: 1.2 kgs. Pack Size: 38cm x 11cm. The PYRAMID is an ultralight tent weighing in at just 1.2 kg. The great difference between the PYRAMID tent and the other tents that we supply is the fact that the PYRAMID tent has no dedicated tent poles and is designed to be used with your own two walking. This does mean that the PYRAMID tent, without any tent poles, provides a substantially smaller, lighter package. The PYRAMID tent employs a flysheet of 20D 360T silicone-coated, ripstop PU nylon with fully taped seams and a hydrostatic head of 3000mm. The sewn-in bathtub floor employs a 55D waterproof PU-coated polyester with a hydrostatic head of 5000mm. The PYRAMID tent comes with no less than 16 very nice, anodised V-section aluminium tent pegs and 6 guylines. The tent pegs are similar to those used by Hilleberg tents. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TENT. COME WITH WALKING POLES – see our other listings for this tent complete with walking poles. IMPORTANT: Please be aware that the reinforced sleeves that the poles are inserted into on the inner tent are only designed for standard upright hand grips, so walking poles with horizontal grips or Pacer Poles, will not fit into the sleeves without making some modifications. The weight breaks down in the following way. Outer flysheet: 498 grams. Inner tent: 464 grams. 16 x Aluminium tent pegs and 6 x guylines: 216 grams. Total: 1.17 kgs. Total with the carry bags: 1.22 kgs. PYRAMID Tent with Aluminium Tent Pegs. I should just add though that, unlike the cheap and nasty, cost-cutting tent pegs packed as standard with many small tents, the V-section, anodised aluminium tent pegs that come with our PYRAMID tent are themselves of a very high quality. All modern lightweight tents feature a lightweight flooring fabric, and though it can be made extremely waterproof, it is much less resilient, hence much more prone to damage by sharp implements – thorns, stones, etc. Than the thicker, heavier materials employed by tents of old. I always use my polythene emergency survival bag as an additional groundsheet, and for this purpose it works extremely well. However if I did not have this, for peace of mind, I would surely employ an additional lightweight groundsheet for the extra protection it would offer to my lightweight tent floor. STATION13 Review: GeerTop PYRAMID. If you usually backpack and hike with walking poles, then the big plus with the PYRAMID tent is that there is a substantial weight-saving to be had from using your own walking poles as tent poles. The 1 person PYRAMID tent has the same 210cm x 90cm floor plan as the TOPWIND 1 tents that we also supply, however it does feel somewhat less spacious inside due to the shallow sloping sides resulting from the simple A-frame set up. The floor length is just OK for myself at 5’11″, but due to the shallower angle of the sides the PYRAMID tent may seem a little short for anyone over 5’11″, moreso if using a very thick inflatable mattress. Cause of the shallower sloping sides of the PYRAMID tent w e thought that there could potentially be a problem with the head and feet of taller people pushing the inner tent onto the flysheet when lying down, however this is not an issue due to the great amount of space between the inner tent and the flysheet near ground level. But please do bear in mind that the characteristic triangular cross section of the inner tent means that the mesh fabric is closer to your face than the TOPWIND 1 inner tent when lying down. The PYRAMID is a specialist lightweight tent, and it will not suit everyone, but may certainly be more problematic for taller people. The inner tent height at its highest point in the middle is 105cm. Apart from the 55D PU-coated polyester bathtub floor, the inner tent is made completely from fine, high density no-see-um bug mesh. The all mesh inner tent will mean that this tent will be potentially colder and draughtier than tents such as our TOPWIND 1 tent that features a full polyester inner – something worth bearing in mind if you intend to use the tent in colder months or tend to sleep cold yourself. All seams are taped to provide a fully waterproof seal at the stitching. All seams are double-stitched and reinforced with box stitching at any potential stress points. There are pitching instructions sewn into the compression stuff sack, though it is unlikely that you will need them. Two walking poles are required to erect this tent, that said, the flysheet or the inner tent can be used independently if required, and if using the flysheet on its own, then either one or two walking poles can be used. This tent is a specialist 1 person tent for people wanting a high quality, high performance ultralight tent that is not only incredibly practical, but light enough to carry for hours on end when backpacking. Please note that this tent is aimed primarily at experienced backpackers who want – or need – to shave off the grams, and may not be particularly suitable for novice or first time backpackers. This tent may also be of particular interest for anyone considering moving up from the confines of a bivvy bag. A good Goretex, breathable bivvy bag will weigh around the 850 gram mark and probably set you back a small fortune. For around an extra 300 grams weight penalty you could have the relative luxury of a tent. Granted, the weight of walking poles do have to be taken into consideration, but if you do already walk with poles then this point is moot. Erecting the PYRAMID tent. Initially we only connected the two side guylines, and even with just the two pegged out the tent seemed very stable, we couldn’t imagine the tent going anywhere very fast if you pegged out all six guylines and 16 tent pegs! The two air vents on the side of the flysheet are both held open by the side guylines. We played about a little with this until we realised that you can close up the vent by simply running the guyline attached to the top of the vent through the loop on the lower vent material (though with a little thought other methods can be used). When we only had the two side guylines pegged out we found that the lower material of the air vents sagged very close or even onto the mesh inner tent, which we did not like at all and indeed this did concern us. However, this rectified itself once we had attached and pegged out the remaining four corner guylines. This immediately pulled taut the lower air vent material and instantly resolved the issue. With our walking poles set at 120cm length (top of the pole handles to the cup above the spike) the PYRAMID is quick and easy to set up. If you don’t know where the 120cm setting is on your walking poles, we would suggest marking them to take away any guesswork and making setting up quicker. This does two things: firstly it tensions the inner tent a little more, and secondly it slightly raises the flysheet from the ground, which when pegged evenly allows for better ventilation. But this is something that you can adjust to suit yourself and indeed weather conditions. Please note that the manufacturers have now updated this tent to feature two main entrances, however, this also added 250 grams to the total gross weight. So, as we see no real necessity for two large entrances. On this particular 1 person tent, we opted for the original one entrance, lighter flysheet. However, we did also opt for the new version of the inner tent which features two doors and corner uprights on the bathtub floor which help raise the floor and better tension the inner tent. You are probably thinking,’Why two inner tent doors when there is only one flysheet entrance? Well, having two doors on the inner tent allows access to useful storage space underneath the flysheet on both sides – half the space of which would otherwise be inaccessible with only one inner tent door. The two storage areas combined provide enough space for a rucksack, boots, etc. The PYRAMID tent is quick and easy to erect, but it is worth having a couple of practice runs before you use it out in the wilds in order to get the feel of pegging out the fly. With the four corners of the inner tent floor pegged out, the inner tent will self support once your walking pole handles have been located in the special material sleeves at the top. It is then simply a matter of throwing over the flysheet and pegging out accordingly. We found it easier to rough peg initially, and then adjust each flysheet peg to provide a taut, nice even shape. The standard V-shape aluminium tent pegs weigh 10 grams each, whereas the 150mm x 3mm Superlite titanium shepherd’s crook tent pegs weigh just 6 grams each. The titanium shepherd’s crook tent pegs would reduce the total weight by a further 64 grams if anyone feels the need to further lighten the load. See our other listing. This ultralight PYRAMID tent has grown on us the more we have used it – and we love it! The PYRAMID tent is very well made and very versatile, it is an ultralight, performance tent that is going to be a very hard to better in this weight/price range. Is a small family run business and as such our good name and indeed our reputation is very important to us.
