Coleman Rigel X2 tent (2008)

£80.00

ReviewA very lightweight tent that saves a few grams by incorporating the stuffsack into the groundsheet. Also the pegs are very short, but mainly it is the single-skin design that reduces weight. Pitching is very fast as there are just two poles, which slip through mesh sleeves on the outer. There is a mesh vent in the roof that can ...

MSR E-Wing 2011

£125.00

MSR stands for Mountain Safety Research, suggesting a ‘belt and braces’ approach; but ‘lightweight and performance’ are probably more apt. The E-Wing takes the classic simple tarp rectangle and aims to add a little extra protection. DesignThe MSR E-Wing has a very basic design. It’s essentially just a large fabric sheet with the only detailing on the main body being ...

GramCounterGear Litehouse Solo 2011

£140.00

The GramCounterGear Litehouse Solo is an unusual design: in effect it’s a tent/tarp hybrid as it’s single-skin and has only a partial groundsheet floor with a mesh perimeter. It pitches as one and comes with no poles, as it uses a pair of trekking poles for support. The detailed instructions look complicated, but it’s easy and quick to set up ...

Exped Scout Tarp Extreme 2011

£165.00

Exped kit tends to be robust, functional and ready for the worst of conditions. Expeditions need low weight too, and this tarp has a good balance between all these points, as well as being a multi-person shelter. DesignThe Exped Scout Tarp Extreme has the familiar plain rectangular outline of a tarp, but it’s actually quite complex. The edges have regularly ...

Terra Nova Bivi Tarp 2011

£200.00

Vango Force Ten Helium Superlite 100 2010

£230.00

A bit like the new coalition government, Vango’s plan for easing the burden of carrying a one-person tent is to strip out wasted weight. According to the manufacturer, everything that is good in the classic Vango Force Ten Helium is apparent in the new Helium Superlite, but you now have a new lighter groundsheet and inner tent. The result of ...

Terra Nova Photon tent (2008)

£300.00

ReviewOfficially the Guinness World Record holder for the lightest tent commercially available, the Photon is 110g lighter than the previous record holder (the Terra Nova Laser Competition), and it tipped the Trail scales at 766g. It pitches outer-first too, making it ideal for putting up or striking (taking down) in the rain. The pegs weigh 1g each, and these tiny ...

Terra Nova Laser Photon 1 2011

£360.00

The Terra Nova Laser Photon 1 is the latest version of a classic lightweight one-person tent design that first appeared as the Laserlite. The single-pole design cuts everything down to the very minimum, but the use of the lightest fabrics and components means that the tent still manages to be fully featured. It pitches as one and goes up quickly. ...

Vaude Power Tokee Ultralight 2011

The Power Tokee Ultralight takes the successful format of Vaude’s Power Lizard two-person tent and tapers it down to a one-person package. It pitches as one, and goes up quickly, with the main pole being easily attached via external clips. Both ends of the tent are fitted with rods, which give stability and extra internal height. There are guy points ...
