| THE SPIRIT OF MOUNTAIN SPORTS |
Ultralight double wall tent in single arch Powerframe Construction offers room for 1 person. The smaller version of the Power Lizard UL. The perfect tent for single-travelers. Ultra lightweight, fast set up, stormproof stability and rainproof. With one entrance and a vestibule that's big enough for a trekking backpack.
Vaude Ultralight Tents - Designed for extreme conditions when every ounce counts
The Ultralight collection is for ultralight purists who go in for pure performance and minimum weight.
Tents weighing in at less than 3kg with a minimal pack size, use of technically advanced materials (double coated siliconised material) for extreme wind and weather protection.
Vaude Powerframe Ultralight Tents - The fusion of Vaude's most innovative technologies: the Powerframe makes these tents extremely stable while the two sided siliconised ultra light fabric makes them as light as a feather.
- Extremely Lightweight
- Extraordinary storm stability
- High UV resistance

Siliconised Materials
In tensile strength tests the bothside silicon-laminated Ultralight 70D material and 40D material in testing reached outstanding values (11kg and 7kg, EN ISO 13937-3 - single tear method) incontrast to PU-coated PE material (1kg).
The two sided 3-way siliconisation coats the fine ripstop fabric and gives it long lasting protection from damaging UV rays.

Powerframe Technology
Vaude's Powerframe is a tent construction featuring extreme wind stability - it increases stability by approximately 80% while enlarging the inner tent volume by 40% thanks to the steeper pitched tent walls.
Lighter weight poles can be used with the Powerframe ensuring minimal additional weight.
The tent is directly attached to the frame with Powerclips. The tent suspension creates triangular trusses over the entire frame which evenly distribute the load. Even during storms powerframe tents are not distorted under wind pressure.

Our Verdict
Its a familiar design! What Vaude have added is their powerframe technology - which is the clever but simple idea that if the clips that join the tent to the pole actually grip the pole then the whole structure will be more stable. It works and Vaude have gradually reduced the weight of tents that use this technology so we have the superb Power Tokee - a worthy competitor to Terra Nova's Laser series.
Interestingly - despite the photo - the Power Tokee door cannot be easily tied back, there's no facility to do this built into the design - not good if you want to sit in the tent with the door open - you have to jury-rig something.
