How to pitch your SPRINT Dyneema® 2P Tarp Tent
The 2P tarp tent SPRINT requires 2 hiking poles (ideal height: 115cm; max: 120cm) to form the structure.
These poles are not supplied with the tent.
1. Insert the pegs at the 4 corners of the tarp tent.
2. Slide a hiking pole inside each porch, aligning it vertically with the doors.
3. Place the structure upright: your tarp tent is now standing!
4. Secure the guy ropes and adjust the tension at the corners and on the porches to finish pitching.
Tip: compatible with our two-pole kit(8973633)
What material is the SPRINT Dyneema® 2P Tarp Tent made from?
The tent is made from Dyneema® Composite Fabrics, an innovative fabric that combines the strength and lightness of Dyneema® fiber with an ultra-thin polyester film.
This process creates a waterproof, tear-resistant fabric which doesn’t lose its shape, while remaining substantially more lightweight than a traditional fabric.
What are the advantages of Dyneema® fibre?
An ultra high-performance synthetic fibre, Dyneema® is one of the most solid textile materials in the world. The proof: at the equivalent weight, it is 15 times stronger than steel. Ultra-light, waterproof and stable over time, it is a material of choice for making tents capable of withstanding the most extreme conditions.
Under what conditions should the SPRINT Dyneema® 2P Tarp Tent be used?
This is a three-season tent, which will protect you from the harsh weather conditions you can encounter in spring, summer or autumn.
It’s designed to handle light snowfall, but hasn’t been designed to withstand heavy loads which could damage its structure.
When it snows, regularly shake the tent canvas to make it fall to the ground and prevent snow build-up.
How is the tent’s wind resistance calculated?
We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable. The aim is to expose each side of our tent to the same wind intensity.
Properly pitched, this tent remains habitable in wind speed 8, measured at 70 km/h.
What are the tent’s ventilation options?
The tent doesn’t have a dedicated ventilation system, but the air can circulate freely in the interior mesh channels.
