SlingFin Tents at Outdoor Presscamp - VIDEO
SlingFin is a tent brand that to date, may not have already been on your radar. Thanks to my week at Outdoor PressCamp in Deer Valley a few weeks back I now know all about their Windsaber and CrossBow Tents. SlingFin has traditionally been an expedition tent manufacturer but they now have several lighter camp worthy tents for the average Joe. Have a watch of the following video for more details of both the Windsaber and CrossBow Tents:
SligFin Tents use an innovative WebTruss system which is more stable than conventional tent architecture design. This WebTruss system can be set up using a top bow pole (included), vertical strut poles, or even trekking poles if you want to save on weight.
