Trekking tent – The quick shelter for spontaneous stops!
Are you a passionate camper and enjoy being out in the fresh air?
Even if you travel from one campsite to the next with your roof tent, day trips can still be longer than planned.
That’s why your sleeping space in the great outdoors should not only be available everywhere and at all times, but should also be comfortable and convenient.
A trekking tent is therefore the ideal companion, especially on longer trips where you are equipped with a rucksack.
It is very light in weight and has a small pack size when rolled up, so it can be stowed and transported easily and space-savingly and is therefore always ready for use.
