Buckles for inner tent : +15g

The Aston ST doesn't have fasteners for the innertent by default. If you wish to add these buckles, select this option. Innertent is available on demand.


Stake fasteners:

The stake fasteners consist in a reinforcement and a strap loop. On this loop, several types of adjusters are available:

  • Normal : +14g : 2mm PES/dyneema cord adjustable with Lineloc : Picture
  • Ultra-light (UL)  fasteners: 1.25mm PES/dyneema cord with lineloc mini : Picture

  • Ground fasteners by webbing + stainless rings : +95g : This option changes the linelocs fasteners for adjustable loops of webbing. The adjustment is very easy, ultra-durable and gives large versatility on snow or other difficult terrains : Picture


Mosquito net skirt : 120g

A 25cm wide strip of mosquito netting is sewn on the bottom, blocking most flying insects.

  

When used with a footprint covering the entire surface, you get a complete and versatile single-wall shelter.


Stakes : 180g

A set of 15 stakes is available : we chose high quality aluminium stakes made in the Netherlands :
  • 8 Rockpin stakes to anchor your tipi on the hardest grounds
  • 7 UL duraluminium stakes for guylines when the weather turns bad.

Extension tube : 38g

The required length for the central pole is 150cm. We advise to use both of your trekking poles strapped together with the included webbing as a central pole. This solution is the lightest (5g) and very resistant : instuctions here (pdf).

If you use a single trekking pole, you can use the tube extension : this aluminium tube allows you to gain about 25cm of height on your trekking pole.


Mostert pole : 330g

If you do not use trekking poles, a light and strong mostert pole is available.
