| The Mini Peak proved to be a very poplar tent with solo hikers, however numerous people wanted the same style of shelter for two people and hence the Trail Peak was created. Firstly the material used is PU Coated Nylon and sealed accordingly. However it is also supplied with a tube of seam sealant should it be required at any time. Secondly, it is supplied WITH a pole, which is another saving of additional cost. However those hikers who use walking poles, are able to save 322gm weight by leaving this at home and use one of our linking systems instead, to provide a solid reliable support. There are 2 entrances into the shelter and each vestibule is big enough for boots and few items. Due to the pitch of the shelter the entrance is mostly covered and not too exposed to falling rain saving your sleeping gear from a shower. The internal space is a good 2m x 2.4m and I found being a taller person at 6'2" there was plenty of space for two people and all their gear. Even on the deeper sleeping mats the inner was some distance away from my face. The floor has a central hole with a gutter and draw cord which allows the pole to be placed against the earth (rather than against the material for the inner floor) and then sealed by pulling the cord. The inner and outer shelter can be pitched independently of each other depending on demands. However it should be noted that it would be awkward and not very practical to pitch the outer first and then try to insert the inner due to the single pole needed to be removed in the process.

Monday, 3 November 2014 | James At 2.5Kg you get a 2.4m by 2m sleeping area that’s 1.6m high: luxury for one person, spacious for two, and could sleep three at a pinch. I’m 6’3" and have no problem with my head or feet touching the inner when sleeping. There’s plenty of room inside to get changed or have four people sat playing cards, and it’s handy having a door at either side so you don't have to climb across someone when getting in our out. 53 of 53 people found this review helpful. |
