As with many outdoor products, the trend in backpacking tents is to go as minimalist as possible without sacrificing on comfort or weather protection. For 2015, MSR took a creative design approach to give ultralighters exactly what they are looking for with the FlyLite two-person tent. At 1 lb. 9 oz. (710 g), it’s the lightest full-protection shelter MSR has ever made.
To cut out a large chunk of weight, MSR ditched the traditional tent pole structure and instead used two standard trekking poles for support in the single-wall tent design. A single ultra-light mini-pole adds structure to the rear of the tent, but can also be swapped out for a trekking pole if you are traveling with another person.
Despite the FlyLite’s minimalist construction, the vertical side walls of the canopy and the 29-square-foot floor space mean two people have ample space to sit and sleep comfortably.
For bad weather, a large attached awning on the FlyLite provides extra rain protection over the door without blocking your view outside and also offers just enough protection to cook. Awning-covered vents on all four sides minimize condensation by increasing air circulation, while the strong, DuraShield-coated nylon fabrics (10D on the walls and 20D on the floor) are lightweight by normal tent standards (average is 70D on the floor and 40D on the canopy) but still durable. Taped seams and reinforced stress points help with waterproofing and long lasting durability.
첫댓글 Msr 2015년 신제품 입니다.
기존에 출시 되었던 MSR Missing Link Tent가 경량으로 계량된 것으로 보입니다.
시에라 디자인도 비슷한 디다인으로 2014년 출시 되었죠..
2인용으로 바닦은 20D 벽체는 10D(일반 텐트는 70D,40D 사용)의 듀라쉴드 코딩 나이론 원단으로 무게710g의 텐트 입니다.
폴이 없으니 가벼울 수밖에 없는데 등산용 스틱이 없으면 설치가 어렵울 것 같습니다.
