Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 6/10How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 6: A bit better than average.
Salewa's minimum weight is 1.70 kg (1.98 kg maximum with everything), in the 1.5–1.99 kg band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 8/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.
Fly 3,000 mm is in the 3,000 mm+ band and the floor is 10,000 mm, so no point comes off. The printed figure alone gives 8 at most: a 9 or 10 needs 3 reviews that say it stays dry in real storms.
Wind
Estimate: only 2 reviews about wind (fewer than the 3 we need, so never above 8) 8/10How steady it stays in strong wind on open ground. 8: Clearly better than most.
Two independent reviewers report strong-wind stability, with secure guying important. Globe Trekker supports this with personal experience; the quoted 90 km/h laboratory certification remains a manufacturer claim rather than a separate source.
Space
From maker's figures 6/10Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 6: A bit better than average.
Inner floor 120 x 210 cm = 2.52 m² ÷ 2 people = 1.26 m² each, in the 1.15–1.34 band. Salewa quotes 3 m² for the inner tent, which does not fit its own 120 cm width, so we banded the smaller figure.
Packed size
From maker's figures 4/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 4: A bit below average.
Packs to 40 x 19 cm: 3.1416 x 9.5 x 9.5 x 40 = 11,341 cm³, so 11.3 L, in the 10–14.9 L band.
In short
Good for
- Two people on three-season UK hill camps who want a light freestanding tent
- Rocky or shallow ground where pegs do not hold, since it stands without them
- Weight-conscious pairs splitting about 0.85 kg each
Strengths
- 1.70 kg minimum for a freestanding two-person double-wall tent
- Fly 3,000 mm and floor 10,000 mm
- Semi-geodesic three-pole frame that stands without pegs; Salewa says it passed a 90 km/h wind-tunnel test
- 10 aluminium Y-pegs, reflective Dyneema guylines and a repair kit in the box
- Integrated vestibule, zipped rear vent panel you can work from inside or outside
Weaknesses
- Only 1.26 m² of inner floor per person, with the inner 120 cm wide, so two regular mats leave no spare room
- One door and one porch, so one person climbs over the other
- 11.3 L packed, bigger than most light tents of this weight
- We found no independent test of this tent, so wind and pitching claims here are Salewa's, not reviewers'
