Have you seen my Hexpeak fly? It fell off my e-bike in Belgium 3 years ago. Thought I heard something but didn't stop. Luckily I used it with the Lanshan inner and carried that tent as well. Meanwhile I got a Aricxi outer (hot) tent 160cm high. Because it was cheaper. Held up well in heavy rain. 950 grams something. But a lot more when wet! Then later I bought a no-brand half inner 285cm long and 140cm wide. Not exactly for hikers. But on an e-bike the 2.2 kilo (with pole) is not a problem. There are other/lighter options from China you could use with your 4-season T-door. That's the nice thing about pyramid tents.

@drie wiel Unfortunately not, sorry xD Weight is definitely less of an issue with alternative transportation, too heavy for me lugging around the hills though! Pyramid tents all perform really well in the wind - I love the Hexpeak because of the strength of the flysheet. If 3F UL came up with something similar with the same or stronger materials, I'd buy it in an instant. I love the MLD stuff, but it's out of my budget!

Balancing between buying the 4a or 6a, have some joint hiking plans for next year and have to fit 2 persons in high windy country in the north of Sweden (autumn), but the rest of the time im solo and it feels a bit wasteful to buy a separate tent for just 2 weeks.

This worked a treat on the WHW in February. It rained for 4 out of the 5 days, solidly, and with a good breeze (60mph gales during one night near Beinglas Farm, nicely funnelling down Glen Falloch). I think without the living space of this tent and now the reduced draft in the inner, I would have probably packed it in. Once the tent was up in the evening, I got into my dry tent clothes, was warm in no time and could do my cooking, prep, cleaning - all inside.

Love my Hexpeak! Another weight saving option for any time outside of midge season including deep winter is using a bathtub groundsheet imo. I have one from the Scottish company Trekkertent which is 40 denier and weighs 160 grams iirc, but they also make a lighter 30d version and 3F UL make a cheaper, less tough one as well i think. If i need to block draughts in serious sub zero temps i can also bring my PHD sleeping bag cover which keeps moisture off my sleeping bag, traps warmth in and reduces draughts. I personally prefer the more open feel - inners always feel a bit stuffy and claustrophobic to me and its also much less faff to set up tbh. The bathtub helps block draughts when you're lying down and keeps pooling or even running water from your sleeping bag but you could also save even more weight by using a polycro or tyvek sheet instead. It's not for everyone in winter though, fair do's!😀

Hello fellow Scottish! I am glad I found this video. This tent remind me of my Lanshan 1 Plus which I used on my recent walks from Edinburgh to Berwick upon Tweed and it worked awesome. The only small problem was a lack of space sometimes when I was changing or doing some stuff and making my mesh we etc from touching the wet outer walls. This one seems to solve my problem and vestibule is 2x size of my Lanshan, thats awesome.

I have used small clips to attach the Hexpeak inner at half height to the outer (3 points). When those points on the outer are pulled out by guylines, it considerably increases the headroom in the inner. That gives me enough space at 6ft 1in. Again, not much wiggle room for anybody taller. I will get some attachment loops to sow on the seam of the Lanshan 4 season inner to achieve the same. I have a Lanshan 1 Pro which is big enough for me. So, I hope I can make that work, too.

Interesting, I might have a look into that.

Hi mate, I'm glad you found the video useful! I've found that nothing less than 140cm will work well and I actually ended up settling on a pair of Leki 'Voyager' poles. They are a decent price, extend up to 150cm, are rock solid once extended and fairly lightweight. The only downside is that they are twist locks instead of flick locks - the latter are handy for readjusting height from within the tent when the material settles at night. However, I've also found that flick locks are more likely to sag as temps change. I know Ray at RS Outdoors used Komperdell poles, but they are like hens teeth and are fairly expensive!

Haha, aye, currently getting a wee bit of snow so hopefully the stars will align and I’ll get some winter camping on the go! 💪🏻

Hi mate, I bought the inner you recommended, but I will be honest.. despite slowing your video to x0.25 speed, I don't think I have the ingenuity to set it up the way you have. I mucked about with just some bungy and although the bathtub wasn't perfect (never was with the old inner either) I think it might be ok for the single overnighters. What do you think? Also, how the feck did you repurpose the original line locks!? They are a sealed unit. I've been using others tents for the last year, so I'm looking forward to getting this out again, with the reduced weight. Oh, the pegs you mentioned, I just got the 15cm ones, but wow!! Not seen a vid from you in a while, hope you're ok?

Hiya. How's your inner fairing? My J door Aliexpress one is OK, but some water came up from the ground (I think) on a particularly wet camp. Other than that, it's OK.

Hi, the plus inner is the 230cm length as it matches up with the new lanshan 1 2021 version

Do you think it will fit in the octopeak too?

I believe so, but the Octopeak is a lot bigger and it’d be a shame not to make use of all that space 🤔

I'm looking for a hexpeak, however it seems not available anymore. The German site seems also inactive for almost a year or so. Where to get this tent now?

Hi mate, you can try backpackinglight.co.uk - Bob the owner has taken a lot of the slack for the US providers downfall, so might be shipping to the EU as well 😁

There's a hexpeak with snow bellows, though I'm not sure how breathable that would be 😬😅

So is this a Hexapeak fly and lanshan up 4 season inner ? Currently have the Terra Nova pioneer and not convinced ! For the money this looks brilliant especially as an outer first, but I’m not sure I could sort the modifications ?? 🫤 do use use a standard trekking pole ?

Haha 😛 I have a “how to pitch a Hexpeak” video that covers the mods too. It’s not as difficult as it may seem 🙂 For these tents you’ll need a pole that’s 140cm+. You can get a pole extender from backpacking light, but a dedicated pole is better in my experience.
