我在Backpacker網站如下看到今年輕量帳篷的Editor's Choice為Dancing Light Gear Tacoma-For-2 Shelter,不知大家認為如何呢?謝謝!它很有創意,利用登山杖作為營柱,但不能站立。才2 lb 4 ounce

Dancing Light Gear Tacoma-For-2 Shelter


If you dream of dropping pounds from your three-season tent, consider the innovative Tacoma-For-2. Its smart design combines a tarp's weight savings (use your trekking poles for support) and the features of a tent (a floor! vestibules! bug protection! space!). Here's what you get:

>>> A spacious interior that sleeps two tall hikers with elbowroom to spare. The adjustable ceiling height (up to 44 inches) provides better head and shoulder clearance than many dome tents we've used.

>>> A fast pitch with trekking poles (or sticks), stakes, and guylines-once you've set it up a few times. The Tacoma-For-2 is not freestanding and not for mechanical dunces.

>>> Dual mesh screens that unfurl for complete coverage in bug season or roll away for better venting.

>>> Double doors that stake out in various configurations to form windbreaks, rainshields, or vestibules. Closing them fully (via hook-and-loop strips) creates a muggy but weathertight shelter.

>>> Numerous guy outs that permit a taut pitch; the rainfly only fluttered a little in moderate winds when we tested it on exposed campsites in the Smokies.



>>> Siliconized nylon that's used for the rainfly and floor to keep weight down to 2 pounds 4 ounces and enables the Tacoma to stuff into a breadbag-size sack.

The combination of weight savings, interior volume, and weather protection makes this the perfect tent for thru-hikers and other ounce-counting backpackers who want a livable, rain-ready design made from the lightest materials.

Weight: 2 lbs. 4 oz.
Floor size: 40 sq. ft.
Price: $290 (plus $35 for optional seam sealing)

  • 其實這一頂不算很輕的 類似的Tarp tent很多 其中有一家名字就叫做Tarptent http://www.tarptent.com/ 重量輕多了 另外golite. BD. Oware 等等廠牌也都有類似產品 可以參考一下
  • 的確,該網站的tarp的確輕多了,不過像這種半開放式的shelter,風大或天冷時不知是否會蠻痛苦的?以台灣這種潮濕的氣候,不知是否適合?
