Stan Pinguin Storm 3 Duralu

Product detailed description

A very spacious tent suitable for more inclement weather thanks to its low profile.

The tunnel construction ensures very good use of the internal space. The flysheet is made of Polyester with a polyurethane coating, guaranteeing a water column of 4,000 mm. The seams have waterproof tape. The groundsheet is made of Nylon with a Polyurethane coating giving a water column of 10,000 mm.

The poles are made up of duralumin segments (7001) with a diameter of 8.5 mm.

The double-skinned tent consists of an inner tent and flysheet. The entrance to the inner tent is on the front side, the outer tent has a large vestibule suitable for storing packs, cooking, etc., which can be entered through a front or side entrance.

Tent concept

This is based on the principle of a pole structure threaded through sleeves on the outside of the flysheet. The flysheet and inner tent (which is suspended under the flysheet) are erected at the same time after threading the poles through the sleeves. The advantages of this method are: the tent is pitched very quickly if it’s pitched in the rain, the inner tent does not get wet, the inner tent can be detached from the flysheet and the flysheet can then be erected separately to create a single-skin tent without a groundsheet.

Ventilation

There are three vents located at the front entrance and the rear of the flysheet. Vent covers are designed so that they are not affected by the wind. This prevents leaks during rain with strong winds.

Pitching the tent

Thread the tent poles through the sleeves and insert the steel pegs attached to the straps on the bottom edge of the flysheet into the tubes at the end of the poles. The inner tent is attached to the loops on the inside of the flysheet. The tent is not free-standing, it must be anchored with the minimum number of pegs or guy ropes. Finally, tighten the flysheet with the plastic buckles at the bottom edge of the tent.
