[FS - TAS Hbt] Luxe, Lightweight 1 Person Tent

[whynotwalk]

Sil-rocket in use

I'm selling my near-new Luxe Sil-rocket tarp tent for $200 plus postage. It's a light, versatile tent in excellent condition. I used it on just one overnight walk, for 3 nights, and there are a couple of minor cosmetic marks. I've also replaced a couple of the Luxe tent pegs with better, longer pegs (as recommended in the review below).

In use the sil-rocket is a cosy, lightweight tent (just over 1.1kg!), with the mesh inner (nest) suspended from the sil-nylon fly/tarp. You use a trekking pole at the entrance for stability and headroom. I also used a short pole at the foot of the tent to increase footroom and airflow. But you can also pitch the fly in various tarp formations, as illustrated here

This video review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqPi8UCmhas also shows how.

UK hiking guru Chris Townsend gave the Luxe a good review here http://www.tgomagazine.co.uk/review/review-luxe-sil-rocket/

Want more details?

Weight: +- 1.15kgs; requires a trekking pole or similar (BYO).
Flysheet: 40D/230T nylon ripstop fabric with one side PU and one side siliconized.
Inner tent: high density nylon mesh
Inner floor: 68D nylon taffeta PU 4000mm

In case you're wondering, I'm selling it because I'm upgrading to a Hilleberg Enan, and because I'm a klutz with tarps (!!)

cheers
