Camping Central

For mountain bikers and hikers alike, concern over the weight of their pack is understandable. After all, when crossing rough terrain, the last thing they want is to be lugging a heavy load. Perhaps that’s why the OZtrail Eclipse Lightweight Hiking Compact Tent is so popular amongst them. Weighing a mere 2.1kg and occupying a space of just 40cm x 17cm, it is hardly noticeable to an intrepid explorer on the move.

Even for a lightweight adventure tent, the OZtail Eclipse boasts great durability. Its 68D ripstop polyester fly is water repellant to keep the elements at bay. It also has a puncture resistant polyester Taffeta DuraWeave floor, with a polyurethane coating to ensure moisture from below remains below. And in case the mozzies are in busy mood, an ultra-fine No-See-Um mesh on the interior means insects have no way in either.

Features:

• Lightweight adventure tents
• Durallium™ 7001 Gold alloy poles with T-6 temper and 7075 tensile strength provide increased strength for less weight
• Lightweight puncture-resistant Polyester Taffeta Duraweave™ floor with 5,000mm water head Polyurethane coating for extra durability and strength.
• 68 Denier Ripstop Polyester fly with a 3000mm hydrostatic water head with added water repellent treatment provides great defence against rain and wind.
• Ultra-fine 50 x 50 No-See-Um insect proof mesh to keep inside cool and dry in hot or humid conditions.
• Weatherproof DryGuard™ Plus double flap to protect zips from driving rain.
• Dry Sack style carry bag so your tent is dry even when you're not - great for canoeing of biking.

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.
