Body Mapping Rusty

It had a great feeling. It’s perfect in a functional way. I wore it for 9 days without changing during climbing up and returning back and I didn’t feel sweaty or chilled. Last but not least it doesn’t absorb sweat odor. The elasticity is excellent and the material doesn’t make lumps.

Attack

This tent is easy to build up or take down. It’s stable and doesn’t warp under snow. It fulfilled all the requirements we had. We had snow cuffs added and except of putting snow around, we didn’t fasten it very much – 2 snow “anchors” and a couple of snow pins or 2 snow axes and trekking poles were enough. Inner space is large enough for two people - even taller ones. We put boots skeletons and cooking equipment in the entrance apse and everything else including backpacks in the inner tent. The frontal part would enable comfortable standing to 2-meter high ones and the whole tent assures acceptable life standard. The entrance to the inner tent is easily accessible. The pocket for hiding inner door is just perfect. Fastening between inner and outer tent was without problems. All the zippers, buckles, fastener didn’t let us down.

Space

Excellent tent for higher altitudes. Absolutely no problem occurred. After three weeks in 5200 m above sea level with constant exposure to intensive sun, snow, extreme temperature changes we didn’t find any modifications of material. Zippers and poles without any problem. It’s a tent for really heavy use.

Stash

The tent is minimal when packed up, so that it can fit almost anywhere. It’s easy to pack and with the help of buckles also minimize. The floor looks like it would need a little bit of care, but in fact it wasn’t damaged by sharp stones or sticks when built up on such a place. The tent is waterproof even in heavy rain. When building up, it is necessary to center inner tent in relation to outer tent to make the distance between these two layers constant in all the parts. In case the inner and outer tents meet, it can cause water condensing. Rather than any advice it’s important to have experience with building, but after gaining them, the tent can be built up by only one person. Choosing the right place, you must consider, that the tent is not freestanding, you will need to pin it. Tent provides a place for staying over a night for two medium – sized people. It’s the con to all the pros such as weight and size. There are two practical inner pockets. The entrance apse can cover backpack, boots and a few small things. For ventilation it is ideal to roll up the outer tent doors, which you would do only in good weather. Tent is quick – drying when built up.

Personally, I find the concept to be right and ideal for the purposes it was developed for. It’s an answer to market needs as well. I met people that started with distrust and averse and ended up liking the tent after getting familiar with it.
