Wechsel Venture 1 Lightweight Hiking Tent

About the Wechsel Venture 1

The Wechsel Venture 1 tent gives you a versatile solo trekking and bikepacking shelter built around a lightweight design that offers plenty of room for you and your kit. The Venture 1 features room enough for 1 person with a sheltered vestibule ideal for stowing hiking/camping/climbing gear and for riding out bad weather.

The Venture 1 offers a quick and simple setup with a free-standing geodesic design with a vestibule for extra sheltered living space and storage area for packs and muddy kit. For very light weather protection, the fly sheet can be set up by using the footprint (not included) for summer camping and hiking.

Internal pockets and a gear loft organise smaller items and keep essentials close to hand. A convenient mosquito net is built into the doors as well as the foot and head end providing bug-free ventilation. The reflective guy lines and reinforced guy points, provide further easy of use and stability for wet and windy weather, ensuring the lines are clearly visible and accessible.

As part of Wechsel’s Travel line, the Venture 1 features high-performance fabrics with a Rip Stop, PU-treated polyester flysheet for lasting rain protection. The floor is made from a tough Polyester 75D for a great balance of low weight and high durability, waterproof to 7000mm HH.

Packing size is optimised for bikepacking, with a packed size of 45cm that fits well in a handlebar roll. Carry bag is variable in length and by removing the poles, the length of the carry bag is reduced to 30cm. This way the bag contains only the inner and outer tent. The poles can be stowed separately where they possibly fit better.

A favourite among solo hikers, campers, and backpackers, the Venture 1 from Wechsel packs a low weight with a 3-season design that won’t let you down when the weather does. A great tent for all outdoor sojourns, offering liveable comfort in the harshest of conditions.
