- This is just a slightly lengthy overview of a new tent from Vaude, this will be my main tent for all adventures in the foreseeable future.
I will write and post a review when I've used it through some harsher weather, but it seems like a keeper and it really an excellent ultralight choice.
Thank you so much for the in depth look! I had been looking for a tent for a future bike tour for a while, and your vid helped me decide to go for this one. Cheers!
Thanks from sharing this long Video with us. It was really helpful. Enjoy your time by bike and in tent. 😉
looking forward to a further / detailed review after you've had some more time with it :)
Apricity The weather has been all too good (aside from this terrible heat!) but I’m sure Thor will anger soon and give a chance to test thing thoroughly :)
When are you planning to get in to the deeper/ more long therm review? looking forward to it :9
Hej :)
I will try and make a video soon, got so distracted by travel that I didn't get it done but I used this tent a lot and it stood up brilliantly through serious rains and wind in the north of Norway. Absolutely no leaking so the seamless bonding is a really great evolution in tent design, and with the guys tied it can certainly take a wind battering without any comfort issues!
Keep an eye out for an update soon, and a detailed writeup when my website is done.. for now I say that if the money is there then this tent is an excellent investment !
Hello, tell us about the quality of ventilation in calm but rainy weather. Confuses the location of the ventilation. Too much condensation?
this is obviously very late but just incase anyone stumbles on this with the same question: the ventilation is exceptional. it is one of the strengths, but also one of the weaknesses. The fly sits with a pretty decent gap which allows good airflow, and the way the material is held over the door by the cross pole means you can keep a pretty nice little opening without any rain getting inside (dependent on wind direction and weight of the rain, but without strong force I've had no issues with the top unzipped in fairly heavy rain). There will be condensation, of course, but with this extra opening is is slightly better than most UL tents of this quality that I have tried, and it dries out nicely if the weather is lending a hand once the storm has passed :)
The reason the ventilation is also a weakness is obviously that there isn't much protection from the chilly drafts when the inner is all mesh and there is such a gap from fly to ground. I've generally slept warm with decent internal gear but certainly for adventures where a lot of cold wind is expected, I'd probably prefer something which has at least a little bit of windbreak on the inner and a little less gap at the bottom.
In relation to this, one other thing that may be a weakness is the only guy points being on the corners - in very strong wind the guy support just isn't as good as you would hope.
I still love this as my main tent for the overall balance, but there are always negatives!
@@lifecycles590 Oh, thank you. This information will come in handy !
Had any rain and strong wind so far? I am considering to buy this tent at a discounted price for 500 dollar.
Sorry to come back so late (and probably no use now) but here is the answer anyway:
Plenty of very heavy rain with no issues at all, but I will say the guy positioning isn't the best for wind. The tent holds up fine and I always stayed dry but as the guy lines come only from the corners at the poles, any wind hitting from the direction of a wall will push that wall a little inward. I don't exactly have a complaint for the tent, but the single point I would ask for improvement would be some guy points on the side walls just to keep it more taught in very extreme weather.
If guyed out well as is then it still handles pretty strong wind well, but there were a few times in really intense winds when I wished for more tie outs!
Did you have water coming In through those vents? Thanks🙋♀️
Hej, Maja.
In very extreme winds a little bit of water made it through the rear vent, but surprisingly little considering the conditions really were extreme. in heavy rain without the extreme winds to push water to and through the mesh there was no issue at all. This tent has been through a lot since this video and only a couple of nights did I have any issue with water.
Is it possible to compress the tent when packing it using a compression bag. Should it feel safe to do this?
Hej! sorry, I just saw this (have been totally absent from this channel.
It is definitely possible. The original bag actually does compress smaller than I showed if you take the hooks near the handle, and for longevity I probably wouldn't compress much more than that (with footprint also in the bag) but certainly it could be squished smaller and the material feels as though it would take it as well as most tents, and better than many.
I simply prefer not to as with all tents a tighter compression will eventually lead to weakening of the materials.
You can compress the tent, no problem at all. The bonding seams are very very stable and strong and also very flexible.
I brought this tent for £200 brand new
nice deal :)
They didn't end up so popular and seemed to disappear from the market where I live, but it's a damn good tent!
I fell off the attempts to make videos and never followed this up but it has been on many adventures since and still stands strong. I hope it works out well for you :)
