The g1 trek is a lightweight two-person, three-pole semi-geodesic tent that is ideal for backpacking, trekking and travel around the world. It is a versatile tent: free-standing and with a compact footprint, it is easy to position anywhere, and its light, robust fabrics will give four-season protection in all but the most adverse mountain conditions. The g1 is the smallest two-person tent in the Lightwave range – some people may prefer the larger g2 trek. It nevertheless retains a generous porch area and excellent headroom.
