Wechsel Trailrunner 1.5 Person Tent

Wechsel just make some great quality tents and the Venture series are great quality, free standing tents that are perfect for back packing and being on the move as they are lightweight without compromising quality. 

I know there are probably 20 other tents that "Look" the same out there and can be half the price but we don't do that at The Bushcraft Store. We have chosen Wechsel tents as they are just a step up in quality. This model, for example, will have high quality Aluminium poles not the cheaper resin fibre that breaks down with wear and UV and then snap when you're in the middle of nowhere. The materials used are just better quality all round so if you want a cheap disposable festival tent then best to shop elsewhere as this ain't it! 

One the easiest way to get your head around the Wechsel range, from my experience, is that the higher the price the lighter the materials used in construction. This, therefore makes the final product lighter to carry. Now, that doesn't mean they are less robust, they just use materials that are more expensive to make.  

The Trailrunner is a hybrid tent for 1.5 people with one vestibule so essentially it is a generous size for one person and just gives you a little more room for sleep and storage.

The construction is characterised by an external pole, which speeds up the pitching and unpitching of the tent. The tent is attached to the poles via clips. The outer and inner tent are already connected to each other. Two aluminium pole hubs ensure a high level of wind stability. The additional ridge pole offers sufficient headroom in the inner tent. Mosquito mesh at the head and foot ends and in the door ensure good ventilation inside the tent.

The pack size is handy and optimized for bike packing or other packing options. The Trailrunner can even accommodate two people, who get along well – ideal for getting started with trekking or bike packing adventures. For an overnight stay for two we recommend the self-inflating mats from our Lito mat series.
