Robens Venturer 4 LW Tent - Lightweight 4-Person FlexPitch Shelter

The Robens Venturer 4 LW is a four-person single-pole tent that weighs 2.99kg. One offset centre pole, a full mesh inner and Robens' no-sag HydroTex SilPoly RS flysheet give a group of four a lot of space for very little pack weight.

Because the centre pole is offset rather than planted in the middle, the inner has more usable floor and headroom than a traditional centre-pole design. The pole is telescopic too: extend it to open a ventilation gap between ground and flysheet when you're using the inner, or remove the inner and shorten it for a lower, stormier pitch. FlexPitch lets you use the flysheet alone, the inner alone or both, so the same tent works for a warm night with only the mesh inner or a wet, midgy one with everything up. Two extra hook-on guylines cover an inner-only pitch or add security in rough weather. Choose the Venturer 4 LW when you want four-person space for backpacking, bikepacking or camping without carrying a four-person weight.

Why you'll love it

• Non-sag HydroTex SilPoly RS flysheet – absorbs less water than nylon, dries fast and stays taut when damp
• Offset centre pole – more inner space and comfort than a traditional centre-pole layout
• Telescopic ventilation pole – extend for a ground-level airflow gap with the inner in, shorten for low-shelter performance with it out
• FlexPitch – flysheet only, inner only or both, from a single centre pole
• Full mesh inner – maximum ventilation at minimum weight
• Extra guylines and fly toggles – two hook-on guylines for an inner-only pitch or rough weather, plus fly toggles front and back for sheltered views and airflow
