Stable, light and ideal for one night
Tent companies are continually trying to shave off weight while maintaining space and stability. At just over 4lb, this tent is light for a two-person model, with a geodesic design that can shrug off storms of up to 130mph, according to the maker?s wind tunnel tests. However, it is also the narrowest tent on test (less than 4ft at its widest point) and it saves weight by sacrificing an inner, which means that condensation may build up inside, especially in colder weather. In our tests we did not find condensation a big problem, because the airflow through the roof of the tent is good without being draughty. This is not a tent for everyone but for overnight backpacking in warm weather, the Spectrum is a miniature marvel. |
