Stan Pinguin Vega Extreme Snow

Product detailed description

A version of the popular Vega tent with snow skirts on the bottom of the flysheet.

The flysheet is made of Nylon with RipStop treatment and triple, double-sided siliconization, guaranteeing a water column height of 4,000 mm.

The seams are not taped, but expansion threads are used, which increase their volume on contact with water to seal the needle holes.

The groundsheet is made of Nylon with a Polyurethane coating and a water column of 10,000 mm.

The poles are made up of duralumin segments (7075 T6) with a diameter of 9.5 mm.

Description

The tent is double-skinned consisting of an inner tent and flysheet. The inner tent has a trapezoidal floor plan with two entrances on its longer sides. The flysheet is hexagonal with two entrances and vestibules, suitable for storing packs, etc. or cooking.

Tent concept

This is based on the principle of a pole structure threaded through sleeves on the outside of the flysheet. The flysheet and inner tent (which is suspended under the flysheet) are erected at the same time after threading the poles through the sleeves.

The main advantage of this concept is that the inner tent can be detached from the flysheet and the flysheet can be erected separately to create a single-skin tent without a groundsheet. Other advantages are: quick to erect, the inner tent does not get wet when pitched in the rain.

Ventilation

There is a vent at the top of the flysheet dome. Vent covers are designed so they are not affected by the wind. This prevents leaks during rain with strong winds.

Pitching the tent

Thread the poles through the sleeves on the outside of the flysheet and insert the ends of the poles into the brass eyelets on the straps on the lower edge of the flysheet. Then fasten the buckles on the straps near the ground inside the tent and the flysheet will stand. The inner tent is suspended from the loops on the inside of the flysheet. Anchor the erected tent with pegs and guy ropes and tighten with the buckles.
