I have really enjoyed using this Lux Hexpeak V4a pyramid tent on my latest trip.

Note that it is available in both Forest Green or Desert Brown colour and there is even a four-season version with a snow skirt. The construction is pretty good and well stitched using a stronger fabric than some of the more well known ultralight tents available and instead is made using (40D/230T Nylon Ripstop) with an overall weight of 1.2kg.

This typical pyramid / tipi single pole shelter design is very easy to erect, especially in poor weather. Teepee tents in general are historically reliable camping shelters and famous for there versatility and ease of erestion. Simply stake out the four corners, slide underneath, place the pole in the centre and add some tension.

Once all your gear is in and under cover, all the other pegging points and guy lines can all be sorted out and tensioned if required.

It also has a generous floor space which is great for comfort and stowing gear but can also be a drawback as a much larger area is required for pitching it, which may rule out some potential spots where space is tight or ground is very uneven.

Inside there is a generous porch with room for gear and cooking if the weather is bad. The shelter can also be used on its own without the inner to create a generous space and also save weight, but most will opt for the single person inner. This adds a little extra warmth on cold nights, helps to prevent draughts and also keeps those pesky biting insects at bay.

There are a number of extra options for inside including a two-person inner and a selection of bathtub footprints for use as a single skin setup where the ground is wet.

I am 5' 10" and there is enough room for me to lie down on a generous sleeping pad without my face touching the inner tent. However, if you're over 6' in height then the slightly compact inner may be an issue.

The beauty of this type of tent design is that it makes use of trekking poles but a rather robust dedicated pole can be purchased for an additional cost if required.
