The t20 trail xt is an extended porch version of the t20 trail. As tents have become lighter over the past two decades, many people are foregoing the weight savings and instead opting for more space at the same weight of their old model. In particular, they are popular with cycle tourers and multi-day canoeists, where space for spreading out is vital and the weight penalty less of a burden, and important when having to sit out bad weather.
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 need to separate them for drying out.
About 60% of the cost of a tent is fabric, and the greatest part of this is invested in the flysheet. The t20 trail xt is made from a 40-denier, silicon-coated (both sides), nylon rip-stop fabric, and gives what we believe to be the best balance between cost, durability and strength, with only a small weight penalty.
The t20 trail xt is a fast-pitching, versatile, durable tent that will be at home on campgrounds around the world.
