- MBMichael B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoJust an overnighter
Just when on overnighter to work out any kinks. I had hoped for a thunderstorm during the night, but it didn't rain until I was walking out and had few hours to get back to the trailhead. The wind blew all night 15MPH with gust to 30. The tent held up find, no problems at all. I'm a side sleeper and was worried about my head being so close to the edge of the tent. Felt very little if any wind. Had to get up in the middle of the night, plenty of head room. Easy setup!! I practiced in the backyard a number of time and even practiced on hills and uneven ground. I had no problem set it up after a 6 hour hike. Lots of room, could even put my backpack in if I wanted to!!
- CBChristophe B.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoSturdy and lightweight
Having used this tent around a hundred times, I am very satisfied. However depending on the winter conditions. I have encountered condensation problems, which I have resolved by adjusting the ventilation.
Aside from that, I find the part of the roof of the tent is much too low and touch the sleeping bag, a point that should be improved.
- DDarioVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoGreat tent and reliable shelter with minor flaw
I camped for twelve days. During those twelve days, we were hit by three severe thunderstorms with a lot of rain. The third storm was the heaviest, with an enormous amount of rain and 50-knot winds. The tent held up, but the wind allowed some water to seep through the mesh. I think the outer sides should be longer, to the floor, and the inner mesh should be shorter, i.e. the floor should be higher. This way, the wind would avoid blowing rain inside. There was a lot going on in the camp, lots of soaked tents, some people had fled to their cars. The Trekker turned out to be a great tent and a reliable shelter. The sealing is a bit messy, but it apparently works fine. I sealed it according to the official instructions. The rest of the time it was very hot, but the tent was comfortable to sleep in. It is well ventilated, there is no condensation and there is plenty of space.
- LMLukas M H.Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoGreat for Tall Bikepackers
I got the Skyscape Trekker for a bikepacking trip after trying a few other ultralight tents that felt too cramped – especially at the foot end. I’m a bit over 6’4”, and this is the first tent where I can actually lie down comfortably without touching both ends.
It’s light enough for bikepacking, packs down small, and fits well on my setup. You do need to buy the poles separately if you don’t use trekking poles, but that wasn’t a problem for me. After a few tries, setup is quick and straightforward.
So far, it’s been a solid and reliable shelter on the road.
- KWKent W.Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoNice roomy solo tent
Wanted something a little longer than the average solo tent . I'm 6'2" so my head and feet often touch the walls of most tents, causing moisture to get onto my sleeping bag. The Skyscape Trekker solved that problem. I've used it on a number of backpacking and backcountry bow hunting trips. It's kept me dry at a minimal weight.
My two person tent is a Six Moon Designs Lunar Duo which is also great for taller folks.
