The Pioulou XL double-wall tent is an ideal choice for those seeking lightweight options without compromising comfort. It offers enough space to sleep, sit, and change without needing to step outside.

This Pioulou XL is designed for the tallest hikers, up to 2m00 high. It is 150cm high, which makes it very confortable but also needs an extension on your trekking pole to reach this height. You can also use two poles strapped together, or the optional carbon pole.


Features


  • Optimal Protection : Pyramid shape ensuring excellent weather resistance and a vestibule to shelter your equipment.
  • Design without zipper on the outer fabric; the overlapping fabric ensures lightweight and durability.
  • Warmer double-wall version wind-cutter fabric gives extra warmth and protection against condensation.
  • Easy and Quick Setup : Color coding, adjustable straps to adapt to the terrain; the entrance and exit remain protected from rain.
  • Maximum Versatility : Rainfly pitches first, or both together or Innertent only.
  • Sealed Seams in the workshop: the tent comes ready to use.
  • Quality Materials : Use of durable, lightweight, repairable, and long-lasting waterproof fabrics.

Fabric Options


Rainfly Fabric

We exclusively use high-quality double-coated sil/sil fabrics. Their tear resistance is excellent and the waterproofing is durable over time.

  • Silnylon 7D 6.6 2,000 mm (27 g/m²): An ultra-light gem, very durable if taken care of.
  • Silnylon 20D 3,000 mm (37 g/m²): An excellent compromise for a very light and resilient tent.
  • Silpoly 20D 2,500 mm (42 g/m²): For those who want a light fabric that doesn't stretch in humidity.
  • Silpoly 30D 3,500 mm (47 g/m²): An easy and sturdy fabric for a very reasonable weight.

For more information about the fabrics, check the Materials section.


Ground Fabrics

We use PU-coated fabrics for the ground: they slide very little and are highly resistant to puncturing and abrasion.

  • Silpoly 20D PU 4,000 mm (50 g/m²): The ultra-light option but will require additional protection on aggressive grounds.
  • Silnylon 30D PU 6,000 mm (72 g/m²): An excellent compromise for most users.
  • Nylon 70D C0/PU 10,000 mm (90 g/m²): Maximum durability, can be used on virtually any ground without additional protection.

The Tipik Advantage: Our ground fabrics are designed to be easily replaced when they reach the end of their life: contact us.

For added protection, it is possible to add a footprint: see here.

Options


Door Zip  

Replaces the clip overlapping closure system with a YKK #5 zipper featuring two sliders for opening and ventilation. It allows for one-handed use and increases the protection of the vestibule in very bad weather.  Visible Here.


Reinforced Version  

Reinforced version optimizing durability at the expense of weight:

  • Clips, attachments, and straps in 15mm
  • YKK #8 zipper (very strong)
  • Guy lines made of 100% dyneema 1.8mm
  • Transport bag in 70D PU

Weather resistance remains the same. Especially useful for long-distance travelers and/or those with limited repair means. Less relevant for more standard use.


Innertent entirely in mesh 

In double-wall, the innertent is primarily made of windproof fabric with a mesh insert at the top and at the door: a good compromise between warmth and moisture evacuation.

This option allows replacing the windproof fabric with mesh. Recommended for use in hot countries.


Accessories


Stakes 

A set of 12 stakes with a reinforced bag is available as an option. We have selected high-quality stakes made in the Netherlands.

  • Rockpin stakes will secure the tipi on the hardest surfaces
  • 6 ultra-light Dural stakes will complete the set for guylines in case of strong winds

Storage bag included.


Using trekking poles as central pole 

For standard Pioulous, the necessary height is 125cm, corresponding to most trekking poles.

For Pioulou XL, the height is 150cm. Two solutions:


Carbon Pole 

If you do not use trekking poles, an Adjustable Carbon Pole is available as an option. Rigid, durable and lightweight, it folds to a length of 37cm: ideal for cyclists.


Separate storage bags 

! Only for double-wall tents !

By default, the tent is supplied with one storage bag. This option allows you to store the rainfly and the innertent in two separate bags.
