Thinking about a lighter tent for your July trip? This spring, Exped will expand their tent line to include 3-season tents.
Just in time for summer trip planning, Exped is releasing five new tents to the masses called the Mira and the Gemini series. According to their website, they are intended for the summer traveler and are “a careful balance between light weight and durability”.
The tents are designed with continuous pole sleeves for quick, one person set up—we suggest the newbie. The main guy-lines attach directly to the poles. The tent fly is made with a “rain shadow” which covers the door when the vestibule is open, keeping drips from migrating inside the tent. Each tent has one vestibule for gear storage. Packing down to less than twenty inches, all of the tents will fit inside a traditional canoe pack.
The Mira series have one, two or three person options and are all under four pounds. They’re designed for the light packer who wants a little more shelter without the weight. Square footage inside the tents start at 16.6 sq. ft., increasing 29.6 sq. ft. and rounding out at 37.9 sq. ft.
Created for the adventurer who still wants a light tent and little more space, the Gemini series have two or three person options. They both weigh less than six pounds and have 29.6 and 37.9 sq. ft. of floor space, respectively.
The Mira and Gemini tents will be available March 2012 and start at $329. Keep an eye out for them at Midwest Mountaineering’s Spring Expo.
