Pioulou is a 1 person tent for hikers and travelers looking for a light, simple and comfortable shelter. Designed for people up to 1m85 (6'1") , it allows to sleep, sit and easily change clothes inside the shelter. Its pyramidal form is great for shedding bad weather, and the vestibule is large enough to protect a good amount of gear.
One of the main feature of this tent is the absence of zipper on the rainfly doors : these close by superposition, and are easily opened by two buckles. The tent is therefore lighter, but also more durable as zippers are known to be a weak point on long-term use. A version with zipper is also available.
This single-wall version is lighter, but slightly less protective than the double-wall version: It will give a greater sense of interior space, but it will be less warm and the sleeper more exposed to condensation. Wind resistance is identical between the single-wall and double-wall versions: video here.
