When talk turns to the lightest and most versatile ultralight shelters ever made, the new Fast Stash is sure to be at the top of the list. With more than ample room for two plus gear, a full-protection, single-wall body pitches quickly and a range of ventilation options allow it to be used across a broad spectrum.
Our Verdict
Quite a roomy tarp style shelter with lots of venting - fairly practical and simple design. In particular the ability to pitch the sides and front 'beak' in different ways to suit the weather conditions is a good innovation.
The fabric is highly waterproof so there's no danger of getting wet once inside the tent, and the semi open front makes it very easy to get boots and clothing on and off whilst still keeping dry in poor conditions.
Features
- Ventilation: Vented door plus broad side vents with wings that can be closed, partially opened or pulled back completely for maximum air flow.
- Easy Set-Up: Pitches quickly with included poles or trekking poles for added weight efficiency.
- Stash-able: Simply pull poles out during the day to collapse and protect your gear; re-pitch by just reinserting poles when you return.
- Added Coverage: Front porch and side wings add external coverage and allow ventilation in bad weather.
- Durashield Coating: Our most durable waterproof coating, offering superior resistance to moisture induced breakdown.
