| Vaude Hogan Ultralight XP |
|
| THE SPIRIT OF MOUNTAIN SPORTS |
Our Classic with lots of extras: the Hogan Ultralight XP. Even lighter and even roomier thanks to a larger vestibule. The factory taped seams using "silicone seam tape technology" make hand sealing redundant.
The tent is just like all other VAUDE standards in other features: waterproof, fast to set up, long-lasting and dependable, even in stormy condition. For 2 people., it's the optimal companion on mountain and trekking tours.
Our Verdict
Roomy, yet lightweight tent using the tried and tested Hogan design - can't go wrong. The weight has been kept down by using a lighter weight fabric for the flysheet, so it won't be as tough as the other Hogans but just as tough and durable as other lightweight tents.
*****************************************************
There are Four Vaude tents that go by the name of 'Hogan Ultralight', the 'Hogan Ultralight' itself is a full two man version with conventional seams etc. The 'Hogan Ultralight 1' is a smaller version that sleeps 1 comfortably and 2 at a squeeze, and is correspondingly lighter.
The third tent is the 'Hogan Ultralight Argon' which is a version of the smaller tent with taped seams, a technique pioneered by Vaude in a production environment.
The fourth tent in the family is the Hogan Ultralight XP - it uses lighter materials so even though its has a bigger vestibule it weighs little more than the Argon.
