We’re looking at lightweight tarp tents in this video – one from Six Moon Designs and one from Tarp Tent.
These single-walled tents are a popular choice for cyclists and backpackers concerned about weight. Sometimes people report problems with condensation but in general tents like the ones in this video get very good reviews.
Mandy, a member of the Dutch backpacking club, Rugzaklopers, is showing us around the tents. The Rukzaklopers Club is a social group that does backpacking trips, so the opinions are independent. They’re not selling anything – they’re just looking for the best equipment.
