2-person tents
The t1 is a classic two person tent which is idea for long backpacking trips where every item is scrutinised for minimum weight and bulk. Despite being one of our smaller tents, the t1 is surprisingly spacious and easily accommodates two 190cm adults and equipment. One particular feature of the t1 is the vertical front door which not only stops water dripping into the inner tent when the door is opened but also gives and extremely roomy porch area. We also make a slightly larger version of this tent which is more suitable for base camp use and extended stays - the t2
The t1 should be pitched tail to the wind wherever possible as this presents the lowest profile to the wind and the rear pole is canted back to provide extra support. However, the ARCHitektur pole structure is surprisingly effective in side winds (click here for more information on this pole configuration). t1's are available with both standard porches for lightweight backpacking and extended “xt” porches for those needing more space for extra equipment or a place to hide out in extended periods of bad weather.
