JACK WOLFSKIN – Gossamer – 1-man tent

The Gossamer is justifiably one of the classic tents for solo backpackers. Jack Wolfskin made this 1-man tent very compact and kept its pack size to a minimum, allowing it to fit in a rucksack. This along with the great value makes the Gossamer worth considering! It boasts a weight of under two kilograms and has an incredibly small pack size, so it’ll fit perfectly in or on any trekking rucksack. Plus, pitching the tent after a long day out on the trails is quick and easy. After only a couple of minutes, the tent will be pitched, so nothing will stand in the way of a delicious and well-deserved meal! The flat tunnel tent construction of the Gossamer gives the wind less to work with, which adds to the stability of the tunnel tent. In addition, the tent comes with high-quality DAC aluminium poles, which is certainly not common in this price range. On warm nights, you can pitch the inner tent by itself for protection against those pesky mosquitos. The material used for the outer tent and the floor of the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer is the perfect combination of low weight and durability. Of course, both are waterproof, with the floor having a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, which will definitely come as a relief on rainy nights!
