Expedition Super Quasar

The Crux X1 Assault takes the 3 pole design of the X1 Strike mountain tent but adds an external porch for storage, cooking and thus increased comfort. The tent has a relatively small footprint so that it will pitch in small spaces between boulders but the addition of the porch means that although the body of the tent is fully self-supporting the porch will need pegging out making it less friendly for use on snow.

The Crux X1 Strike Tent takes the design of the X1 Raid but adds an extra pole. This adds slightly more rigidity to the tent but most importantly provides more space at headroom. The X1 Strike also offers more protection from the elements when the door is open, thus increasing comfort on longer trips. This is all achieved without increasing the footprint of the tent, so it still pitches easily in small spaces between boulders and is totally self-supporting for firm pitches on snow.

The Lightwave Breaker Pegs (Pack of 4) are perfect replacements for lost spiralled pegs to provide a secure and strong anchoring on softer ground, sand and snow.

The Lightwave Dyneema Guylines are the ultimate choice for mountaineering and 5-season use, these consist of a pre-stretched and treated Dyneema core, wrapped in a polyester sheath, and have a total diameter of 2mm. These guylines offer an incredible strength-to-weight ratio with a breaking strain of 280kg. Each line comes with a mini-Linelok cleat for easy adjustment.

The Lightwave G20 Trek is a spacious 2 person tent that's suitable for backpacking and trekking, offering 4 season year-round protection in all but the most adverse weather conditions. Its 3-pole, geodesic design provides excellent stability, whilst the fly is lowcut to the ground so there's good protection from any wind-blown rain. The weight is kept to a modest 2.5kg and the porch area is a fairly generous size, those looking for a bit of extra space might want to consider the XT version which has an extended vestibule.

The Lightwave g30 trek XT is a spacious 3 person tent that's suitable for backpacking and trekking. It offers 4 season protection in all but the most adverse weather conditions and is a popular choice of tent for longer camping trips. The extended vestibule provides enough space for two bikes (laid down with the front wheel removed) or extra space for storage and cooking in rainy weather. The only penalty for all this space is that the weight has crept up to 3.35Kg but even this can be carried comfortably in good quality backpack, especially when the tent is split between people.

The Lightwave t30 trail is a wider and slightly taller version of the t20 trail. Classified as a 3-person tent, it is still used most often as a 2-person tent where extra space is sought, be it for winter sleeping bags, extra kit or greater personal comfort. The t30 has a wide and high porch with generous head-room with and a spacious inner. At 2.75 kg, it is no lightweight, but nor does it compromise on durability or performance in bad weather.
