The Wechsel Intrepid 5 tunnel tent is a tent for up to five people with two rain-protected entrances and a large vestibule. It has three continuous external flat channels. These handle well and offer little wind resistance, minimizing wind noise. The additional sleeping cabin has an ample sleeping length for one person. The bracket design creates more space in the cabin so that the entire area of the cabin can be used optimally.
The sleeping cabin can be hung in or out in the assembled state, so you can enlarge the vestibule as you wish. The D-shaped inner tent entrance consists of mosquito netting in the upper third. Inner tent pockets and a gearloft made of mosquito netting provide quick access for quickly needed small items.
The Wechsel Intrepid 5 tent has two side entrances that provide excellent wind and weather protection when the side doors are closed. The four Apex vents on the outer tent provide the best possible ventilation. The tent has an aerodynamically favorable shape, making it very wind stable.
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 guylines are reflective. They are adjustable with the help of the Linelock and, in addition, the Guylineflags ensure that the lines are clearly visible and always tidy.
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. Especially with thick sleeping pads, a rectangular layout is handy so the mats don't 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 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.
