The t20 hyper xt is an incredibly spacious tent with a large extended porch that tips the scales as just over 2.50 kg (everything included). However, it is no lightweight when it comes to handling the worst weather conditions, and is equally at home anywhere from the Torres del Paine to Svalbard.
Its multi-pitch system is very versatile – the integral mode allows it to be pitched in 3 minutes or less. The choice of flysheet-first or inner-first pitching is determined by whether you just want the flysheet or inner pitched on their own respectively, and either method is necessary if you have to separate them for drying out.
Tents are all about fabric, and the t20 hyper xt is no exception. The flysheet fabric – by far the most important part of a tent’s specification – is a 30-denier, silicon-coated (both sides), nylon rip-stop fabric. This yarn thickness undoubtedly gives the best balance of tear-resistance, longevity under UV-exposure and low weight in a fabric, and remains the favoured choice for our premium lightweight tents.
The t20 hyper xt is a fabulous choice for those wanting extra space in bad weather or winter camping, but without the burden of any significant weight penalty.
