Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 7/10How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 7: Better than most.
Vaude's minimum weight of 1.3 kg is in the 1.0–1.49 kg band (1.45 kg total with sack and pegs).
Rain protection
From maker's figures 8/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.
Fly 3,000 mm is in the 3,000 mm+ band; the 3,000 mm floor is over 2,000 mm, so no point comes off. Vaude's own page gives no HH figures: they come from Alpinetrek's listing. The printed figure alone gives 8 at most: a 9 or 10 needs 3 reviews that say it stays dry in real storms.
Wind
Estimate from maker's specs: maker's season rating (fewer than 3 reviews about wind) 5/10How steady it stays in strong wind on open ground. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
No published review says how it copes with wind, so this is an estimate from the maker's season rating.
Space
From maker's figures 6/10Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 6: A bit better than average.
Vaude's 2.6 m² inner tent area ÷ 2 people = 1.3 m² each, in the 1.15–1.34 band; the inner is 215 x 125 cm.
Packed size
From maker's figures 7/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 7: Better than most.
Vaude gives a maximum packed size of 43 x 13 cm: 3.1416 x 6.5 x 6.5 x 43 = 5,708 cm³, so 5.71 L, in the 4–6.9 L band. Alpinetrek lists 40 x 15 cm (7.1 L, the next band down), so the figure may vary with how it is packed.
In short
Good for
- Two people who want a light freestanding tent for three-season trekking or bikepacking
- Couples who accept a snug inner in exchange for a 1.3 kg minimum weight
- Walkers who want recycled, PFC-free fabrics and a 5-year warranty
Strengths
- 1.3 kg minimum for a freestanding two-person double-wall tent
- Silicone-coated both sides, 3,000 mm fly and floor, seam-sealed
- 5.7 L packed, with webbing on the sack for attaching to a bike or pack
- Inner tent can be pitched alone; Edelrid storm lines and DAC poles and pegs
- Recycled polyamide, Green Button label and Vaude's 5-year warranty
Weaknesses
- One door and one vestibule, so you climb over each other at night
- Inner is 125 cm wide with 2.6 m² of floor, snug for two with kit
- Vaude's page doesn't state HH figures; they come from Alpinetrek
- No outlet reviews found for this redesigned version, so wind, pitching and durability scores are missing
- Inner-first pitch (Vaude's own description), so the inner can get wet when pitching in rain
