What is the Wickiup 4 Tent?
The Wickiup 4 Tent is a lightweight and highly stable tipi tent that can comfortably sleep up to 4 people. The classic tipi shape is naturally streamlined, meaning there aren't any large surface areas to catch the wind, allowing this tent to perform exceptionally well in bad weather. Like its little brother, the Wickiup 3, this tent is spacious, well-ventilated and suitable to be used throughout the four seasons.
This sturdy tent has an adjustable centre pole and high interior height, providing a roomy but cosy place to call home for the night after a busy day exploring. It also makes for a great base camp for you and your friends to relax, cook and socialise in the evening or take shelter in adverse weather conditions.
This tent's compact packing size makes it easily portable and fits in most hard shell motor cases, making it an excellent choice for bike touring and year-round backpacking.
What is it made of?
Flysheet: The flysheet is made from a highly durable and waterproof Gorlyn 20D high tenacity ripstop 6.6 Nylon, which is silicone coated on both sides for higher tensile strength and added protection against UV damage.
Inner: The tent inner is made from 15D air-permeable ripstop Nylon, with a lightweight knitted mesh door to maximise airflow, breathability and helps keep even the smallest insects out.
Floor: The tent floor is made from 40D ripstop Nylon and fire-retardant TPU laminate with taped seams. This sturdy tent base has a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm.
Pole: The single central pole is made from 19.5mm anodised 6061 aluminium for an exceptionally lightweight and durable design, providing a stable frame for the Wickiup Tent in high winds.
What are its features?
Entry: This tent has a single corner entry point with two well-placed door tie-backs to maximise the space and to stop the door from unrolling in the wind. The door zip also features a double storm flap to protect the zip from wind-blown rain. A singular vestibule provides room for cooking or removing damp clothes, allowing you to keep the inner tent dry.
Space: With space for four people to sleep comfortably, this tent offers an impressive 174cm peak interior height, offering excellent headroom.
This well-thought-out tent is constructed of two parts, an inner mesh tent and a waterproof outer tent, which can be used independently for added versatility.
Ventilation: This tent offers excellent ventilation due to its high internal height and breathable mesh inner tent door. Two hooded peak vents at the top provide a chimney-like effect to draw more airflow up the inside of the flysheet to help reduce condensation.
Guys, Attachments & Pegs: This tent is secured with 14 Y-shape twisted 16cm pegs. They are brightly coloured and have reflective pull cords making them easy to use, a welcome feature when pitching your tent at night. Made from strong and lightweight 7001 aluminium, they are best suited for firm soil in camping grounds, forests and mountainous areas.
The central pole is made from anodised 6061 aluminium for lightweight but highly durable and weather-resistant construction.
Additional extras: Add extra protection with the Bach Wickiup 4 Footprint, available to purchase separately. It adds 830g of weight to the kit and protects the tent's floor from rocks, sharp items, mud and water, extending the life of your tent.
You can also purchase a set of additional pegs should you wish to secure the elasticated points on your tent. But don't worry; this kit has all the essentials to secure your tent safely!
