The Vela I UL is an ultralight (just 1.5kg with everything!), easy pitch tent that features a Zipfree door and plenty of ventilation options. Differs from the standard Vela I in the fabrics used - shaves 350g off that tent's weight.

Features

  • Large vestibule, easily accessed from inside Vela I, is large enough for all your gear. The door is easily raised to offer a view but still protects from the elements
  • Large floor plan is especially long and wide, making it possible to bring gear inside or to help out a stranded, second person
  • Ventilation is maximised in this storm proof design. The rainfly can be rolled up from either end, and both ends of the canopy have mesh windows. A hood protected vent enhances the chimney effect for venting. The foot end is aerodynamically shaped and can be completely tied down to face high winds. The head end features a mesh window.
  • Tie down loops attach directly to the pole sleeves for maximum stability in wind
  • Ingenious, flat pole sleeve improves aerodynamics in wind and rain. Double seams and stitching offer extreme strength
  • Guylines of ultralite and static Dyneema with a tear force of 180kg
  • Setup requires just 2 stakes. Additional tie down loops make Vela I UL absolutely storm proof!
  • Fly and canopy can be pitched separately
  • Comes with an accessory bag with 3 compartments, one each for poles, tent pegs and spares. This ensures that pole and spares stay clean and away from the muddy pegs. The accessory bag can be used as compression roller when folding the bundle into the packsack.
