Taurus Ultralight 2P lightweight hiking tent

The Vaude Taurus Ultralight 2P is first and foremost an ultralight 2-person hiking tent that packs down very compactly.

 

Together with the hogan Ultralight, it is also the strongest of our lightweight tents.

 

This Vaude tent offers excellent wind and rain resistance thanks to high-tech materials and effective construction:

- silicone treatment on both sides of the flysheet (waterproof rating 3,000 mm);
- high-quality groundsheet (waterproof rating 10,000 mm), resistant to formic acid;
- lightweight, strong poles in AL 7001 T6 aluminium, 9 mm in diameter.

 

It pitches quickly and very easily thanks to its external pole system.

 

This system is very handy in bad weather, allowing quick pitching without exposing the inside to rain, for example: the flysheet goes up first, then the inner tent clips inside, or can stay permanently clipped in for ultra-fast pitching if needed.

This external frame consists of 2 arched poles.

One pole tensions the wall at the head end, complemented at the foot end by 2 aluminium struts built into the fabric. These tension the foot-end wall to maintain generous internal space.

 

This Vaude Taurus ultralight tent sleeps 2 in the inner tent, while an aluminium strut at the front creates a porch with enough room to store bags and footwear.

  

The 2-person Taurus Ultralight tent comes in a waterproof storage bag with a roll-top closure and clips.
