Accidental Damage Cover

Shipping and return included
Sleeps 1 person in a freestanding 3-season backpacking tent built for solo trips where space and durability matter more than gram-counting. Ideal for first-time backpackers, Duke of Edinburgh solo sections, and multi-day walking routes where you want room to sit up and keep kit dry.
Weighs 1.84kg minimum / 2.41kg packed and packs down to 48cm x 14cm. The 99cm peak height and true rectangular floor give unusually good headroom for a one-person tent, and the side vestibule swallows a full pack. Best for comfort-focused solo trips, not ultralight fastpacking.
Your hire equipment is delivered directly to your door in a reusable returnable box or bag.
