The Wechsel Venture 1 tent is a freestanding hybrid tent for one person - including a vestibule. Two aluminum hitching points on the poles provide good wind stability. The inner tent of the Venture is pitched first. The additional pole bend forms the vestibule once the outer tent is stretched over it. For light weather protection, the outer tent can be pitched alone using the groundsheet. The inner tent has mosquito gauzes in the doors and at the foot and head ends. Three additional inner tent pockets keep things tidy and provide space for small items that might otherwise be lying around.
The pack size is handy and optimized for bike packing. With a pack size length of 45 cm, the tent fits well in a handlebar roll. The rainproof pack sack can be attached, even without a handlebar roll, with Velcro straps or straps on the handlebars. The pack sack is also variable in length. By detaching the linkage, the pack sack length is reduced to 30 cm. The linkage can be stowed where it may fit better, for example, in a frame bag.
All guy points on the outer tent are reinforced with Power Triangles. Especially with the firm, less flexible polyester fabric with additional PU coating, it is helpful if the stress points are reinforced. Thus, the force does not attack selectively, but is distributed over a larger area.
The guy lines are reflective. Adjustable they are with the help of the Linelock and in addition, the Guylineflags ensure that the lines are easily visible and always tidy.
APEX ventilation flaps
The APEX ventilation flaps are located at the apex of the incoming wind. Here the wind creates an overpressure on the facing side and at the same time a negative pressure on the other side. In addition, the APEX ventilation flaps are integrated into seams in the design. They do not have to be specially braced and lie flat when closed due to Velcro. Annoying flapping in the wind is thus avoided.
The boom end tips and the corresponding boom channel inlets are color-coded. The color coding allows for quick and easy setup.
The inner tents have a rectangular cut and do not taper at the foot end. A rectangular layout is especially handy with thick sleeping pads so that the pads do not overlap at the foot end.
Double Loops allow for two different guy line options.
The inner tent is made of a breathable and water-repellent fabric that allows condensation water drops not to penetrate the inside of the tent, but to bead up on the outside of the inner tent. The vents equipped with mosquito nets are located in the upper half of the inner tent. This provides a good exchange of air without unpleasant drafts in the tent.
The connection between the inner and outer tent is solved in a practical and sustainable way. The rubber can be knotted tighter or easily replaced if necessary
