Geodesic tents
Geodesic tents typically employ three or four poles with multiple intersections. Slightly more compact and heavier than tunnels of comparable size, the geodesic structure is more rigid and less dependant upon anchor points for its overall stability. Geodesics are consequently easier to position on rocky ground and exposed sites, as they are less sensitive to wind direction. These convenience factors make geodesics popular for camping on a wide range of terrains.
Lightwave offers one 4-pole full geodesic (the f2, available only in ultra) and two 3-pole semi-geodesics (the g1 and g2, available in ion, trek, ultra and mtn). In terms of structural integrity and wind resistance, the f2 is our very strongest tent design. With five intersections between the four poles, it is not only freestanding and very rigid, but also has the best internal volume for the size of the footprint. The 3-pole g1 and g2 strike an excellent balance between the stability and space of the f2 and the lighter weight and ease of pitching of the tunnel tents.
g1: 2-person, 3-pole semi-geodesic
g2: 2/3-person, 3-pole semi-geodesic
f2: 2-person, 4-pole full-geodesic
