Size and living space
Length of the room 215 cm
Width 230 cm at the head and 210 cm at the feet
Height of the room 122 cm at the highest point
The very large apse (storage/living space in front of the room) is 205cm deep and 240cm wide, i.e. almost 5 sqm, makes it possible to sit down with 4 people or to store your equipment in a sheltered place (backpacks, shoes, bicycles, etc.).
7 pockets in the bedroom. Washing line loops.
Architecture, tent poles and tent pegs
The 3 poles form a non-self-supporting tunnel. This structure makes for a lightweight tent that is strong and quick to pitch but needs to be fixed to the ground to stay in place
Aluminium poles 7001 diam. 10.2 mm.
The stakes, made of 7075 T6 aluminium, have a head shape (called “anvil”) which makes them very strong. 10g/stake. They are non-anodised for a limited environmental impact.
Pitching/striking
Quick pitching
As the canopy and chamber are pre-assembled, simply slide the poles into the sleeves of the canopy and tension them.
It is also quick to strike.
To store the tent in its cover, simply fold the tent over itself to about the width of the cover, fold the poles into a bundle and place them on the chamber or flysheet, then roll the whole thing up compactly and slip it into the cover.
Waterproofing
Forclaz tents are laboratory-tested: pitched tent, 200 litres/sqm/hour (3 hours, equivalent to a tropical storm). They are also tested in the field by a sample user group.
20 denier polyester (PES) flysheet and 40D polyamide (PA) groundsheet have a polyurethane coating (inside) and silicone (exterior).
Seams taped with heat-sealed strips.
Multi-component bedroom combining breathability, wind protection and prevents condensation
Wind resistance
We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable where we can expose each side of the tent to the wind.
To test its wind resistance, the tent must be properly pitched, taut but not stretched, with all the guy ropes in position around the tent. It should remain habitable at wind speeds of 70km/h, measured near ground level.
Our tents are certified by the CSTB independent laboratory in Nantes.
Ventilation and condensation prevention
Bedroom with mosquito screen for ventilation and water-repellent fabric to protect from condensation and draughts. Large vent at front of tent and additional vent at feet end.
To reduce condensation inside your tent, it must be properly pitched, with the fabric kept taut without being over-stretched. Vents and good air flow will help reduce humidity inside your tent.
The back of the flysheet lifts up for better ventilation.
Seasons
3-season tent: your tent will protect you from the harsh weather conditions you can encounter in the spring, summer or autumn. It will withstand light snowfall but is not designed to withstand heavy loads that would weigh on the structure.
In case of snow, remember to shake your tent regularly in order to bring down any snow that has accumulated to avoid putting too much weight on the structure of your tent.

Durability
Your tent is designed for touring bivouacs, not for static day use.
We recommend that you avoid leaving it in the sun as the ultra-light fabrics can be sensitive to UV light, that damages them.
