2.6 kg

Light enough to carry, and it packs into a flat round bag.

Product description

About this product

Throw Away Style Tent – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

A throw tent rated PU 5000 mm on both the shell and the floor, which is double what most pop-ups offer.

Throw tents trade weather resistance for speed, and most of them are rated around 2000 mm. This one is not. The 210T polyester shell and the 150D Oxford floor are both PU coated to 5000 mm, with seam-glued construction, which puts it in a different class for the long rains. It is the reason to choose it over a cheaper instant tent.

The frame is 6 mm solid high-strength fiberglass, sewn in, so the tent erects itself when released from the bag. Two doors rather than one means air crosses the tent and nobody climbs over anybody at night.

Pitched it is 240 x 145 x 110 cm, which is two adults comfortably or three at a squeeze. It weighs 2.6 kg and comes with windproof ropes and iron ground nails.

Questions

Good to know

What does PU 5000 mm actually mean?

It is the height of a water column the fabric holds back before leaking. Most instant tents sit at 2000 mm, which copes with a shower. 5000 mm on both the shell and the floor is what lets a tent handle sustained heavy rain and wet ground, and it is the main reason to pick this one.

Does it really fit three?

Two adults fit comfortably on the 240 x 145 cm floor with bags at the foot. Three is a squeeze with gear left outside. At 110 cm you sit up but do not kneel fully upright.

How do I fold it back into the bag?

Practise once at home. Collapse the frame, fold the tent in half so the two sides meet, then twist the top down and over itself so it drops into overlapping rings and lies flat in its round bag.

Why two doors on a small tent?

Airflow mostly. One door means air has nowhere to cross to, which matters on a humid coastal night. It also means the person sleeping inside is not trapped.

How does it cope with wind?

It comes with windproof ropes and iron ground nails for a reason. Use all of them. A sewn-in fiberglass frame is springy rather than rigid, so the guy ropes are what actually hold the shape in a gust.

How do I look after it?

Shake sand out of the zip tracks before folding, which is what kills instant tents. Dry it fully before packing. Sponge with mild soap and cool water, never a machine wash, which strips the PU coating.
