Pitchpine VST 1.5

The fabric feels noticeably lighter than my old shelter, yet it handled a windy ridge night without sagging. I’m still smiling about how small it packs down for the approach.

Finally, a tent that actually feels like it was designed around how I hike. The material choice is spot on for shaving weight without making me nervous about durability on exposed ridges. Set up was quick enough that I actually enjoyed the process instead of wrestling with poles.

Took this on a two-night ridge trip and it held up fine in wind, though the ultralight materials mean I'm careful with it. Packs down small enough to fit in my 40L without eating all the space. Wish the stakes were a bit beefier, but that's the tradeoff for the weight.
