| The very popular Hex Peak range which was introduced into the UK in 2014 has now been increased to include this larger double shelter, the F6. Video showing the difference between the F6A and the Winter F6E available here.
Pole Option Your have a choice of 2 poles which will support the F6 model. The 163X or the 197X. As the 163X is almost at its fullest extension we suggest the 197X as the preferred option to allow for more height flexibility for the minor penalty of 54 grammes.
There appears to be a certain amount of confusion currently regarding what is a stock item available from Luxe in the UK and Currently Luxe Hiking Gear (the US importer/retailer) is customising the V4a, F6a, F6e and F8a to order adding a stove jack as the customer requires. We are unable to offer this service in the UK currently, so if this is something you require please contact them directly using the below links. Hexpeak V4A - Hexpeak F6A - Hexpeak F6E - Hexpeak F8A Any warranty issues you may have with the shelter will be dealt with them directly.
Seam sealing the tent As the silicone tents are designed without seam taping, we recommend user to apply seam sealing on the outside seam of flysheet where necessary (Mainly around the crown area). Along the horizontal stitching around the vent. Down the zip and 'inside' the guy loops and top loop. (Pull apart with your fingers) Anywhere water can gather is a potential point of issue if the tent will be subjected to prolonged rainfall or a persistently wet environment.

20 July 2018 | Les Very pleased - just used on a 2 nighter wildcamp in the Lakes. Didn't have time to seam seal it yet with the silicon seam sealer (which was provided) but did add extra tent pegs as you only get 6. Nice and high inside so you don't feel cramped and dead light! The 2 main reasons i bought this one. Sahred with my mate who is 6ft4 and he loved it. So much he carried it on the 2nd day! ha ha Thanks again to Bob and his staff/family. First class service. Would recommend easily. Cheers 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
14 May 2018 | David I've not used in Ernest weather's yet. But I am really confident about this tent. Having watched every YouTube video there is on the miniP, Hex 4 and Hex 6, I went slightly larger. 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

15 February 2018 | Gareth I bought the 167 length pole which is perfect when fully extended. Erecting it was relatively easy - I still need some practice. The peg points on the fly were missing loops on the two points where they meet the front of the inner. I can only assume this is intentional and that the points are meant to be combined with the inner tent in some way, but it's not clear how and not covered in the instructions. This is the only reason is lost a star. Once up there is easily room for 3 people and some gear. The weight for a 3 person tent is very good. Stability looks good - I pitched in very soft ground where the pegs were having trouble staying in and it stayed up fine. 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
15 August 2017 | Steve Thoroughly impressed! Light enough to use on my own, especially fly only, yet spacious enough for 2 people and a furry friend. I'm 6ft 4 and had loads of room. 3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
02 July 2017 | Derek Used for trip in the lake district.Followed video advice but found, as have others, that some adjustment needed to maintain gap from fly and inner. I'm sure I will sort this with experience. Glad I sealed seams as second morning awoke to rain, however not heavy enough to test the tent. Very happy with the internal space, as 6'3" novelty to have so much room. Definitely recommend. 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

16 July 2016 | Andrew Firstly, great service from BPL, the advice prior to purchase was first class; as I’m a shade over 6'2" I went for this over the V4 as recommended by Rose. 23 of 35 people found this review helpful.
06 May 2016 | Russell My best tent ever, plenty of room for my 6 foot 2 inches body. Headroom a plenty to sit up as well. Looking forward to my next Trail walk. 13 of 28 people found this review helpful.
23 December 2015 | James This was my first order with backpackinglight and the whole process was easy and went smoothly as you would expect, now on to the tent. Being rather tall at 6'5" I opted for the larger F6 model of the Hexpeak and this tent seems perfect for me, plenty of room. I have only pitched it once in the garden so not really a valid test of its capabilities, but I am impressed by the quality and I like this 'lavvu' sort of design. I give it a big thumbs up! 13 of 24 people found this review helpful.
