(sold)Tarptent Sublite Tyvek version

Postby Franco » Mon 05 Oct, 2015 4:26 pm

This is the only tent (officially) made by Tarptent using 1443 R Tyvek (cloth/soft Tyvek)
Now discontinued.
It is also the only TT that has no vestibule at all.

(the bottom vent can be closed,poles at 130cm)
Made for hot/humid areas where bugs are about and a tent is preferred over a bivvy.
Long and high enough for a 185cm person. (maybe a bit more)
NOT intended to be your only tent if you don't happen to hike only in weather protected but wet/hot/damp areas.
This Tyvek is very soft but not all that waterproof (light showers are OK) and not all that tear resistant so no good for exposed/high wind areas.
550g for the tent/stuff sack plus the weight of the 4 pegs. The sides can be pegged down too (extra 2 pegs required)
Specs here :
https://www.tarptent.com/sublite.html
Seam sealed with PVA (works well on 1443R)

Comes with 4 pegs/stuff sack and a patch of 1443R for possible repairs.
In good conditions (I only slept in it a few times in my backyard for condensation/humidity tests)
$120 delivered or $100 pick up.
(would be about $360 with postage new)
