MACPAC

 

Macpac Olympus Expedition pitched under Beinn Alligin in the far north-west of Scotland.

 

Better known in the UK for their Rucksacks, Macpac actually make a vast range of outdoor gear including some superb tents. All these tents feature a very lightweight Polyester UV30 Outer that lasts twice as long as Nylon when exposed to UV and stretches considerably less when wet. The groundsheets are made of seam sealed Hypalon which is the most durable lightweight material we have personally experienced. Poles are 9mm Easton 7075-E9 Alloy. These are 10% stronger than the standard 8.5mm. All Macpac Tents "Multi-pitch". That is to say the Inner and Outer can both be pitched individually. In normal use the inner and outer are pitched as one meaning the inner stays dry at all times. On all Macpac tents, seam sealing of the fly is done buy the purchaser using the sealant provided. This is a simple process that is easily accomplished.

Macpac - Olympus

Olympus We can personally vouch for the Olympus as being a rugged and dependable performer in all weathers with a character all of its own. Twin vestibules create great storage and cooking space, the three pole tunnel design is ultra-stable and saves weight and needs only to be fixed at four points (tent pegs, fenceposts, boulders, car bumpers etc) to be "up". Excellent internal storage for all those maps, books, sun-creams, toothbrushes and rolls of loo-paper, not to mention your secret chocolate stash.

Please note that this is the new 2005 model and is no longer available in blue. The layout has changed slightly as well.

Three pole tunnel design, dual entry, adjustable front vestibule for cooking and gear, storm flaps on all vestibule panels keep weather out, inner vents with zip closure allows venting even when doors are shut, inner vents with zip closure allows venting even when doors are shut, fully seam sealed tub floor, dual extractor vents at both ends, poles sleeved into flysheet to reduce deformation.
