Description
The Snugpak Ionosphere IX WGTE Tent is a compact lightweight one-person tent designed for users who need dependable shelter while keeping carried weight and pack size to an absolute minimum. Its two-pole hooped structure and low-profile shape make it well suited to backpacking, military field use, wild camping and exposed mountain environments.
The 210T polyester ripstop flysheet is PU-coated to 5000mm HH with taped seams for reliable protection in poor weather. The bathtub-style 190T nylon groundsheet matches the same 5000mm HH rating, providing protection from wet ground. The fly-first compatible pitching system helps reduce condensation during wet-weather setup, and the No-See-Um mesh inner tent — 190T nylon with 50D polyester mesh — can also be pitched independently as a standalone mosquito shelter in warmer climates. Internal floor dimensions of 240 x 90cm provide generous length for a single occupant with equipment.
