Backpacking Tents – Flashlight 2 – LowerGear TV

Friday, March 26th, 2010

www.lowergear.com These 2-person tents are the ones I often personally use even on solo trips. They are definitely heavier than a one-person backpacking tent – by nearly 2 pounds but on shorter trips to me the weight is worth it to have plenty of room. But theres room for two adults sleeping on standard-size mattress pads, albeit cozy. While great couples tents, these are perfectly fine and big enough for two macho types to share on the trail without danger of losing their masculinity, but youll be inches away from a snoring partner. If you have any questions about these items or any of the gear we rent, visit www.lowergear.com or give us a call (we get paid by the hour and love to chat) – 866-994-4537. See you on the trail!

Wenzel Starlite Tent Reveiw

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

This is my Wenzel Starlite 3- season 1 man backpaking tent. It is made of 1.9 oz uerethane coated 600mm polyester. Which makes it very light weight. It features a zippered entrance with no-see-um mesh screen and a small no-see–um mesh screen at the foot for added ventalation. I have used this tent several times while backpacking and have been pleased so far. This is more of a begginer or low-budget backpackers tent. I found it on Amazon last year for about $20.00.
