NOW IN STOCK: STATION13 Backpacker Tent Our NEW Backpacker tent is basically a non-camouflage version of the very popular GeerTop BLAZER tent. Due to constant enquiries for the GeerTop BLAZER with a less military look, we have had GeerTop manufacture a non-camouflage version of the BLAZER tent especially for us. The size specifications of our new STATION13 Backpacker tents are identical in all respects to the original GeerTop BLAZER tents, with a few minor differences, though most are just cosmetic. As far as the cosmetic differences go, they are: the colour of the flysheet (Olive Drab Green), the colour of the tent poles (anodised in green), and the inclusion of Hi-Vis reflective guylines. The non-cosmetic differences being that the flysheet and bathtub floor of our new Backpacker tents have a slightly superior hydrostatic head (HH) of 3000mm, compared to the GeerTop Blazer’s all round 2500mm. While the camouflage GeerTop BLAZER tent is great for stealth or wild camping, the. Military look is not for everyone, so our Backpacker tent with its all round Olive Drab Green colour will potentially appeal to more people. Of course, the Olive Drab Green flysheet is itself a stealthy colour, so should you decide to wild camp, then just switching out the reflective guylines for something less noticeable would be all that is needed. Lightweight Backpacking Tent – STATION13 Backpacker. 1 PERSON – 3 SEASON – LIGHTWEIGHT BACKPACKING TENT. Flysheet: 210T PU-coated waterproof polyester, UV protected, taped seams, hydrostatic head: 3000mm. Inner tent: 210T polyester + high density nylon no-see-um bug mesh. Floor: 210T PU-coated waterproof polyester, hydrostatic head: 3000mm. 2 x 8mm ProFlex 7001-T6, shock-corded, anodised aluminium alloy tent poles. 12 x Aluminium alloy tent pegs & guylines (Hi-Vis paracord). Pack size: 43cm x 13cm. Our new Backpacker Tent is a high quality, high performance, single person, backpacking tent ideal for lightweight backpacking, wild camping and stealth camping, and also for anyone undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. Weighing just 1.54kgs, with a pack size of 43cm x 13cm, this little tent is compact and lightweight, and surprisingly spacious for a small one person tent. The 14.6g candy cane hex aluminium tent pegs that are supplied with our Backpacker tent as standard, are in fact a very nice, high quality anodised (gold) tent peg – not the usual cheap and nasty, cost-cutting steel pegs as supplied with many small tents. T his Backpacker tent comes with 12 x aluminium candy cane hex tent pegs as standard, however, we’ve included additional guylines and a further 3 x red anodised needle tent pegs for these guylines. For some reason GeerTop do not include the two flysheet foot end guylines, and only include 12 tent pegs. Now, strictly speaking, you may not need to use the foot end flysheet guylines or the additional tent pegs, and they do push the total weight up by around 30 grams, but we have included them so they are there if you decide you need them. All modern lightweight tents feature a lightweight flooring fabric, and though it can be made extremely waterproof, it is less resilient, hence potentially more susceptible 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 if I’m camping on unfavourable ground, 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. Compared to both the TOPWIND 1 and the PYRAMID tents that we also supply, the Backpacker tent is a lower profile tent with a slightly smaller pitch size. While this means that the Backpacker can be pitched in places too small for the TOPWIND 1 or PYRAMID tents, this does also mean that there is not any practical storage space for a rucksack inside the tent underneath the flysheet. While this is unlikely to be a problem for the minimalist camper who only carries a small to medium size backpack which can be taken inside the tent itself, larger people with very large packs might find it a bit tight and prefer to leave their pack outside under a rain cover. That said, this tent is actually quite spacious, with a very decent size floor plan for a lightweight one man tent, and t here is certainly space inside to sleep with your pack inside with you. And, from my experience on a 10-day camping trip in Wales, I would say that a modern rucksack up to around 50 litres would be comfortable to sleep with inside the tent – I actually had a 65+15 litre rucksack in the tent with me and I’m 5’11 and 16stones… Not ideal, but I managed! And of course, the most important thing when backpacking, is weight, and this little tent only weighs 1.54kg! Given its small pitch size, this tent does have a surprisingly spacious interior – in fact it far exceeded our expectations. There is room to move around and. Ue to the steep sides of the inner tent. Lengthwise it will accommodate taller people up to around 6’4. For a small, 1 man tent, the Backpacker is a deceptively spacious tent – a bit like Dr Who’s TARDIS! The sewn-in bathtub floor measures 213cm x 101cms at its widest, with the floor width narrowing to around 50cm at the foot end, and with an inner tent height of 91cms at its highest point. Two aluminium alloy tent poles nicely hold the tents shape. This little tent features quality 8mm, ProFlex 7001-T6 aluminium alloy tent poles; these tent poles are shock-corded, strong and flexible, and anodised in green. Unlike many tents of this size and nature, the Backpacker is a true double-skin, 3 season tent. The outer flysheet and the bathtub floor is made from 210T waterproof, PU-coated polyester, UV protected and with a hydrostatic head of 3000mm, while the inner tent is 210T breathable polyester with full high density nylon no-see-um bug mesh doors and end panels. The bathtub floor is 210T PU-coated polyester, also with a 3000mm hydrostatic head. All seams are taped to provide a fully waterproof seal at the stitching. The tent is double stitched throughout with reinforced box stitching at any potential stress points. The Backpacker is a two entrance. Tent, with a high air vent at the head end and fully adjustable venting at the foot end, allowing for excellent air flow and ventilation. The Backpacker tent is ideal for anyone wanting a high quality, high performance, one person tent, that is light enough to carry for hours on end when backpacking. The Olive Drab Green colour flysheet is itself quite inconspicuous and so is also ideal for hunting, fishing, bird watching trips, that may require discreet camping. Furthermore, the sleek, low profile of this tent means that it performs extremely well in windier conditions. Is a small family run business and as such our good name and indeed our reputation is very important to us.
