Dealer: Naturzeit
Delivery time: Very good (DE-> EN)
Processing:
(So far, I was used to cheaper igloo tents or larger tents with 4 beds, gas stove, etc..) The tent make a solid impression. Starting with unpacking the tent falls on due to the pack sack, that the product is suitable for trips outdoors. The dunnage bag has a closure like a bag Kenter. Not quite so dense I guess but it really simple mechanism is still outstanding! Reißverschlüssse, stitching, materials and generally the materials are meticulously crafted and well berbunden together. The stakes? Top and very easy! Good is also the tension belts and pegs. The tent is waterproof !! Seam sealer and repair kit are in !!!
Structure:
The building alone is easily doable. If you hurry the tent is in 5 minutes. Theoretically, inner and outer tents remain connected, if you have set up the camp in the rain, but then the erection of the structure is slightly more fiddly job.
- Please note: Depending on the weather with you on the spot that the Gossamer XT brings only 11 pegs with you. The rich easily to the tent set up, however, additional points at the tent are available enabling the further anchoring. Get your best even a pack of herring (mostly 6 pieces in it) and you are prepared perfeckt for wind and rain. Take what the way they accompany the tent itself. Lightweight aluminum!
Degradation:
The reduction also becomes very simple. In bag is enough space so that even the most inept tent Packer should manage it somehow. The tent can be, as you will notice, packing smaller than upon delivery. The length of the rod segments determined in the final analysis, the length of the pack sack, since the folding bars extend beyond the fabric. The reduction is only very easy in under 10 minutes.
Distribution and Inner dimensions:
Front right is a zipper the apse. If the outer tent tent opened, so it can theoretically rain reaching the cabin. Who is going on but sent might get dry inside. There expect to sleep a sufficient space. Even large people can be accommodated, as an acquaintance reported with about 2m size. Easily designed to move the. When wet, it should merely be ensured that the inner tent is without prejudice to the outer tent.
The apse of the Gossamer XT is significantly more spacious than at the small version, which I could tuck in the apse panniers (Vaude Karakorum) easily. Shoes were also there, as well as dishes. Place to get out was still more than enough available. Ansonten provides the XT variant only 5cm more in height and width of the cabin.
negative anomalies:
When you open the porch, it can rain into the tent. This is to be put in the imperative.
Is the tent really excited, so is also tension on the zipper that opens the apse. one makes it on, you have to go on at him to stick together with your other hand to counteract the tension.
positive anomalies:
There are too many to mention them all. The tent is stable, it provides weather protection and warmth, while at the same time there is aeration.
The ceiling of the inner tent can tighten with a tether cord inside to increase the use of space and stability ensteht.
The price is unbeatable.
The weight is excellent, thanks to the lightweight tent poles and pegs.
It is extremely easy to pack the tent again.
My backpack has enough space for the Gossamer XT
Appearance:
Ich finds good. How do you like it I do not know;)
Conclusion:
Lightweight, reliable, small pack size, waterproof and inexpensive. That I have to watch the tent in rainy weather when boarding and must hold the zipper of Ausßenzeltes the close, I like to take into account. The tent I'm not worried if I'm back in the future cycling holidays. I can only recommend the tent to anyone who does not want to dig deep into their pockets. The tent is for the quality, weight and pack size really very good!
