The t3 trek xt is the largest tent in the Lightwave range. A four-pole tunnel tent, it is breathtakingly enormous when you consider it barely weighs 4 kg. It sleeps three people comfortably, four cosily. The vast vestibule can sleep a couple more people in its own right! The t3 trek xt is an ideal tent for base camp use, or for a party of four who want to keep the shared weight down to a kilogram each. You can cook in the vestibule in all conditions. The fabrics used are a good balance of strength and reasonable low weight, and make the t3 trek xt an exceptional tent for the price. It is a four-season tent suitable for most climates and regions, although in extreme conditions secure pitching and anchoring are obviously imperative.
