Lightweight Tents

Lightweight tents, such as the Vaude Hogan Ultralight Argon, are ideal for backpacking or cycle touring. Often you will not be pitching the tent until the end of your day...most of the time you will be carrying it, therefore weight and packsize will be the most important features. Lightweight tents will often use Al 7001 T6 7.5mm featherlite poles and utilise on the flysheet PA 20D R/S silicon coated nylon.

Lightweight tents are used for shorter trips, mountain marathon events or when weight and size is at an absolute premium. The Vaude Power Lizard Ultralight weighs just 1kg and packs away to 35x10cm. It has one main pole, pitches flysheet first and can be erected in a matter of minutes. With a porch big enough to store equipment and even cook in, this is the perfect mountain companion for anyone who needs to carry their kit and move swiftly through mountain terrain.

The Vaude Power Taurus Ultralight at just 1.75kgs offers plenty of room for 2 people, uses Vaude's unique Powerframe construction for super strength in high winds, and as a fly first pitch should be fully erected in under 10 minutes.
