Clive Garrett, Editor of Camping Magazine, said: “New manufacturing techniques have allowed the use of top quality lightweight materials to bring in a superbly designed and practical sub-1kg backpacking tent. This is a magnificent effort from Vaude – a company that seldom fails to impress.”
Chris Davison, UK Managing Director of Vaude UK, said: “The Power Lizard is a fantastic ultralight tent and weighing 1000g, it makes the perfect companion for backpackers and mountain marathon eventers. A lot of work has been involved developing the fabrics and manufacturing techniques required to make such a lightweight product and we are delighted that this has been recognised by winning this award.”
Power Lizard Ultra Light Tent
The Power Lizard UL weighs only 1050g and is one of the lightest 2-person double wall tents available, as well as being the most stable weatherproof tent in its class.
The tent utilises an astonishingly light 20 denier polyamide flysheet fabric which is siliconised on both sides, and has a ripstop structure to maintain excellent tear
resistance. Also featured is Vaude’s cold seam taping technology to ensure it remains watertight in wet weather.
For two seasons, Vaude have been using their patented Powerframe system to increase stability of mountain tents. The Power Lizard UL uses a single arch pole with a lightweight version of the Powerframe system allowing excellent stability in high winds but also simultaneous pitching of fly and inner sheets.
