Robens says:
Lightweight tunnel tent for one person, featuring non-sag Hydrotex RS SilPoly flysheet. FlexPitch versatile pitching options and optimal ventilation with mesh inner. DAC poles ensure stability.
The Chaser 1 LW tent is designed for the solo outdoor enthusiast seeking a reliable 1-person tent. The versatile FlexPitch system enables you to set up the tent with various configurations - fly only, inner only, or both - providing flexibility according to your needs.Crafted from no-sag HydroTex SilPoly RS with a 2000 mm flysheet and featuring a best-in-class 5000 mm hydrostatic-head floor, it delivers both lightweight packability and uncompromising weatherproofing. HydroTex SilPoly absorbs significantly less water than nylon, so it stays lighter even in wet conditions. It also dries quickly and remains tight, strong, and non-sagging when exposed to moisture, delivering consistent performance. A mesh inner promotes optimal ventilation while panels secures effective protection from wind and dust. The tent uses DAC Pressfit 9 mm poles, renowned for their excellent strength, reliability, and low weight. Practical features such as gear ropes, inner storage pockets, and a lantern hanging point enhance functionality, making organisation effortless. Additionally, the two-way zip curves at the door improve airflow, while the included repair patch for the flysheet ensures peace of mind during your journey.
