Designed on the basis of the Pioulou tent, the Caroux is a very light single-wall tent for one person.

It can be pitched high, offering a large sleeping space. In case of very bad weather, a ground level pitching is possible; the interior space is reduced, but the wind resistance is minimal. Ventilation is ensured by a 5cm strip of mosquito netting around the entire perimeter of the tent. It is set up with one pole or hiking pole inside the tent, passing through a reinforcement.

Rainfly options

Ultralight fabric : -80g
Changes the standard fabric (silpoly 30D) for an ultralight fabric with high resistance/weight ratio (silnylon 20D sil/sil 2.500mm). Wind and weather resistance remains similar. In wet weather, the silnylon may stretch slightly. This remains insensitive if the rainfly was well tensed from the start. If necessary, increasing the height of the pole by a few cm allows the rainfly to be tightened. Durable, but will require a little more care than 30D silpoly.

Seam sealing :
 You can do it yourself with a silicone sealant : it reduces our manufacturing time and therefore the price.
