Summiteer - New UK made rucksacks and lightweight Mountain Tent Gear News

© Summiteer

Having spent a year building up a reputation for great quality products, we are branching out from our renowned Glow Worm sleeping bags and starting two new projects: Cumbrian-made rucksacks that use an RPET fabric made out of recycled plastic bottles and a super spacious lightweight mountain tent, the 'Haven 200'. Above all else we care about three things; Quality products, fair working conditions and the environment.

The Summiteer Haven 200 Tent

RRP: £320 Crowdfunder Price: £190

The Summiteer Haven 200 is all about maximum space and minimum weight. Many alpinists, climbers and backpackers have a need for a light weight tent weighing 2kg or less but find the compromise in space too much, making their experience less enjoyable and less practical. Using a 20d silnylon flysheet and super lightweight components, the Summiteer Haven offers a solution. Designed for the alpinist duo waiting out bad weather before a big ascent, or the Lakeland hill walker wanting something a bit more pleasant to stay in whilst bagging peaks. The Summiteer Haven is set to be a benchmark in the lightweight 2 man tent market and due to it's versatility suits a range of users in a range of applications.

  • Pack Size: 45cm x 18cm
  • Outer Fabric: 20d Silnylon

It's good to see UK climbing gear manufacturers keeping up the transition of making their products look completely unattractive ;) I've crowd funded you some cash in the hope that you'll make something more imaginative/attractive. I admire the low environmental impact approach, but I'm sceptical where in the case of Patagonia the durability seems to be adversely affected throughout it's range. If you'd like someone to test anything and write a review, give me a shout.
