Topeak tent...

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have seen this tent in action.

It is the Topeak Bike Camper... yeah...I know I said bike camper but this thing looks good.

I know a lot of us use our camping gear for touring and I figured that that could be practiced in reverse.  This thing weighs just over two pounds,which is light, and uses inner tubes for support.  It is a single wall with no fly.  So has anyone used one?

looks interesting. I'm not a biker though, so I haven't heard of this brand before.

I'm not a big fan of single wall tents. Nor a fan of inflatables of any kind on the trail.  It seems to me that one very small puncture and the whole thing fails. Had a air pad one time, had to fix it after 6 trips. I got rid of it for a closed fom pad.

Mike I agree with ya on the whole inflatable thing. I have heard that the Nemo ARs are pretty solid and the baffles are hard to puncture though. I personally am 100% aluminum. I use a closed cell pad as well. Maybe its just the peace of mind factor for me.

I meant beams not baffles. It was early.
