70 - Feeling tense about tents

There's a battle in the tent world

Welcome sports innovators to the future of sport.

Unlike tennis companies (see yesterday’s newsletter), tent companies are innovating like mad. There are quite a few new designs hitting the market that look very interesting. Check them out:

Tentsile: Stringray Tree Tent

The Stingray Lite Tree Tent has been voted Best Gear of 2023, by Backcountry Skiiing Canada because it features a durable 300D Oxford fabric floor, with a built-in insect mesh, central hatch and zipped entrance door. It also has a 3000HH removable rainfly to keep you dry in all weather conditions.

Thanks to our anti-roll strap system, the Stingray Lite has 3 separate flat-lay sleeping bays. This stops occupants from rolling into the middle and keeps the tent balanced no matter the difference in size and weights of the campers.

This Tree Tent is perfect for car camping adventures and backyard hangouts. It's easy to set up and makes a great spot for hanging out, entertaining the kids or heading for a night of star gazing.

Bikepacking tent market

An interesting new market (actually it started in 2012, but is now reaching mainstream) is developing in the cycling market - bike-packing.

Tents are a main-stay of this discipline and Sea-to-Summit have quickly grabbed a large market share.

This is their Alto TR2 Bikepack.

The Alto Bikepacking two-person tent is a semi-freestanding ultralight tent perfect for weight-conscious bikepackers who still want a high degree of liveability in their shelter. The revolutionary Tension Ridge architecture of the Alto allows for taller oversized doors and vertical walls that create an unrivalled amount of space. Apex Vents positioned at the highest point of the tent effectively expel moist air and minimize condensation, and the variable rainfly can be rolled back on both sides for stargazing, then deployed quickly from inside the tent. β€˜Alto’ is the Italian word for β€˜high’. One night will prove that the Alto is a level above other ultralight bikepacking tents.
