The 3F UL GEAR "Pedestrian 2" is a lightweight 1-man, single wall tent that pitches with a single trekking pole (and guylines).
  • 15D Sil-Nylon outer (5000MM waterproof) with 20D Sil-Nylon bathtub floor
  • Floor and mesh inner wall/door are directly sewn to the flysheet.

This tent is similar to many others:

Pros
  • Lightweight (~700g total by substituting titanium stakes)
  • Good quality stitching
  • Taped seams
  • Double zipper
  • D-style door on inner mesh wall
  • Adjustable vents at either end (including tie-outs and line tensioners)
  • 3 additional tie-out points (2 at "head end, 1 at mid point of the top)
  • Rigid foam brace at the "head" vent
  • Small aluminum pole that elevates the "foot" end of the tent
  • Mesh pocket
  • Reflective tie out points
  • Included groundsheet (15D with elastic loops)
  • Included reflective guylines, line tensioners and repair patches
  • 9 "groundhog clone" stakes included
  • Gray, orange and green colour options

Cons
  • 700g probably the real minimum weight
  • Condensation - use vents to control airflow
  • Ideally suited for people around 5"7' height - as the tent narrows and the walls will contact larger people, especially when raining (Sil-Nylon sags when wet)
  • Not freestanding - requires staking/guylines and a trekking pole of at least 125cm height
  • Pitching tautly takes practice
  • Not easy to setup in the rain
  • Included groundsheet weighs 125g
