Camping Central

Travelling light doesn't mean you have to comprise on a good night's sleep. For the hiker who likes to minimise their backpack weight and maximise their bedtime comforts, the OZtrail Blade Compact Hiking tent is the ideal solution. Weighing a mere 1kg, this one-man tent still manages to boast a resilience to the elements that guarantees a warm and dry night.

The DAC featherlite alloy poles are just as reliable and strong as their aluminium alternative, but are 15% lighter. Meanwhile, the tent's 40 denier ripstop nylon walls are specially treated to repel water even more effectively, and its puncture resistant Duraweave flooring has a 10,000mm water head DWR polyurethane coating for extra protection. So, even after a heavy night's deluge, you can be sure of being dry when dawn comes.

Features:

• DAC Featherlite® alloy poles with extruded self-joiners are 15% lighter than aluminium poles of comparable strength
• Lightweight puncture-resistant Ripstop Nylon 6 Duraweave™ floor with 10,000mm water head DWR Polyurethane coating for extra durability and strength.
• 40 Denier Ripstop Nylon walls and fly with a 5000mm hydrostatic water head with added water repellent treatment provides great defence against rain and wind.

What is not covered by warranty

OZtrail tents use waterproof and water repellent fabrics. However, with the addition of seams, zips and other desirable features a recreational tent will not be as waterproof as a car, house or other solid structures.

The following are common examples of how water can enter a tent:

Condensation - When warm moist air meets cooler air, condensation occurs. The tent/shelter fly forms an impermeable layer between the inside and outside conditions. The moisture inside the tent/shelter condenses on the fabric. Sometimes in cold conditions it appears that the fabric is leaking when in fact the cause is condensation. Condensation can be reduced if the tent/shelter is well ventilated.

Zips - All care is taken in the design to cover zips with rain flaps. At times wind driven rain could force water under the rain flaps and through the zips. To minimise this, make sure all doors and windows are closed with the rain flaps covering the zips.

Floor - If the ground is very wet or water pools under the floor, downward pressure of standing or kneeling on the floor could force water through the floor fabric. To prevent this, do not pitch the tent over hollows and make sure water drains away from the tent.

Structural Integrity - A perfectly pitched tent on perfectly flat ground is structurally strong and most waterproof. During prolonged periods of rain and wind it may be necessary to tighten guy lines and reset the tent pegs and attend to drainage around the tent. Sagging and incorrect pitching weakens the tent structure and could allow water to pool on the fly placing undue forces on the tent causing leaking and breakages.
