  • Heavier than tunnels
  • Take longer to pitch

    • 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 four 3-pole semi-geodesics (the g1, g2, g20 and g30), which are variously available in ion, trek, ultra and mtn specifications). The 3-pole design strikes an excellent balance between the stability and space.

    g1: 2-person
    g20: 2-person
    g2: 2/3-person
    g30: 3-person
