Osmo Colour Revive (Intense Copper)

Product Information

Sometimes you want a superlight bivy that just keeps the bugs away on a long hike. Other times, you want a burly winter abode capable of standing up to gale-force winds and heavy snow. Maybe you want that tent that can do a little of everything.

They’ve also eliminated a zipper from the storm flap/vestibule, using metal hooks to keep it closed. This system pairs down on weight, but we also found it to be a little less convenient than a zipper, primarily if you are trying to faff around with it late at night to go to the bathroom. Using only one trekking pole, the Plex Solo maximizes space with a series of guylines all around the tent that pull the fabric outwards from the center pole. This gives even tall users (like our 6’4″ editor-in-chief) plenty of headroom to lie down or sit upright. It also proved to have strong architecture. Our test faced very strong winds, pushing 50 mph, and the Sea to Summit Telos did not collapse at all, even when receiving heavy gusts. If the tent isn’t pitched in the shade, we felt like the translucent white DCF lets a lot of light and heat into the tent, making it a toasty oven in desert climates. If you only crawl into it in the evening this isn’t an issue, but it’s not a great refuge from the sun. Also, while the vents help with condensation buildup, we wish they were held open by stays to allow more cross-breeze. Finally, we found it tough to pitch with our trekking poles pre-set to 125 cm. Once placed in the loops at the base of the tent, we were able to extend them to 125, but with some difficulty.

Unlike many ultralight options, which depend on trekking poles, this is a freestanding tent. It uses a clever three-pole design with a small “Flybar” where they all connect to give it that extra bit of volume. It has a mesh interior and utilizes an integrated rainfly to keep out bugs, rain, and wind. Osmo Ikon is a caring permanent hair colour that's made with micro-connective technology to ensure the colour lasts. Ithas a 100% vegan,low-ammonia formula which gives 100% grey coverage,and ismade with chia oil and tamanu seed extract to care for hair and deliver perfect, consistent results. We love the Dragonfly, but it's not the widest model. The interior width is 50 inches, tapering to a tighter-feeling 45 inches at the feet. This tent is also a significant investment, so we think it's best for folks who already have a trip planned or know they will get a lot of use out of it. If you want more width than the Dragonfly offers, the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 gives you a couple extra inches, although the taper is even slimmer at the feet. All things considered, the Dragonfly is exceptional for its balance of performance and weight — a combination that we would take with us on almost any adventure. This tent is an exceptional balance between weight and comfort features with one of the best shapes around First, it’s extremely intuitive to pitch, requiring under half the time as some other ultralight shelters we’ve tested. The tent can miraculously be pitched with a minimum of four stakes, and requires little to no guesswork on stake location. We aren’t aware of any other shelter using two trekking poles that boasts this ability.

Super Blondes (12.x)—10 shades of incredible Scandinavian blondes and the new name for theUber Blondes family; We strongly recommend that you regularly clean and treat your zipper with zipper lubricant. Sustainability It’s common to see ultralight and lightweight tents skimp on size to save weight, and the Nemo Hornet Osmo Elite could be bigger. But of the space it's got, it makes it almost all liveable space. The FlyBar reduces sagging, and the triangulated volumizing guy outs in the corners mean that even the areas near the walls are usable. Since it's a double-walled tent, you can get right up to the edge of the inner tent without worrying about condensation, meaning you can get all the way up to the sides of the tents.Vestibules are an important feature to have in inclement weather. They act as a miniature mudroom and provide space for gear storage. After 20 years of experience, he has learned the value of a true tent. He still prefers to travel as light as possible, whether it is with a summer tent that fits in the palm of his hand or his zero-pound all-season tent for ski tours in the dead of winter. We’ve pitched, lived in, and wrestled mid-storm with enough tents to know a piece of junk when we see it — and the Trail Hut is anything but. Right out of the box it sets up intuitively, the poles and materials feel premium, and the fly provides comprehensive protection from the elements. Leave it to the REI Co-op to deliver a quality design that won’t break the bank. The tent has a durable floor material made of 20D ripstop nylon and 1,200mm Durashield polyurethane, as well as a DWR treatment.
