Quite often in the world of fast and light endeavors, one must agonizingly choose between comfort and weight. However, when it comes to picking a shelter, that decision is a cinch with the Black Diamond Distance Tent. Simple, lightweight, and incredibly packable means that you get the best of both worlds. So if the route of your dreams requires an overnight but you're in no mood to slog a heavy pack, bring along the BD Distance tent. It is pared down to be lightweight but still fully functional. A durable single-wall tent construction works in tandem with the included adapter and the running/trekking poles you're already bringing along. Set up couldn't be simpler. Vents at the foot and peak of the tent offer adequate cross ventilation to keep moisture and the stank to a minimum while still providing adequate protection from unwanted precipitation. Four stake out points with robust guy lines using a Dynex core complete the tent for a simple, no-frills 2 person single-wall tent that packs down to the size of most water bottles.
- Durable High tenacity 30D poly fabric results in a uber lightweight material that has minimal stretch even when wet.
- Adapters fit on most running and trekking poles for easy and efficient setup.
- Adequate venting allows for good cross ventilation.
- Reflective guy lines with polyester sheath and Dynex core are just about as strong as they come.
