Hon Hon Hon. This cozy, classic-styled, tent is perfect for outings in the woods.
Inspired by the US A-frame pup tent, but made of heavy-duty nylon for better waterproofing than its cotton counterparts as well as reducing weight.
It has an integrated rainfly, tub-style sealed floor to keep you dry, and mesh vents on the top of the doors as well as the interior that can be opened to let out any excess heat in the tent. For the "Khaki" version, a mosquito net is included on both doors.
Additionally, each end of the tent has a double zippered door split down the middle to allow for partial opening.
Tips and DIY Improvements
- As with basically any tent, it's recommended that you replace the stakes it comes with and get lightweight stakes to lower the weight a bit.
- The two support poles can be ditched in favor of your trusty trekking poles, if you want to cut down the weight and bulk even more.
-
The tent is not 100% Storm-Proof. You might want to get an auxiliary rain tarp for heavy rain. you can also treat the tent with various different agents to make it more waterproof but you still might want another tarp in case of torrential downpour.
