Salewa LiteTrek 2 lightweight tent review 

Great vid , I've just bought the Salewa Litetrek Pro iii and I'm in the process of modifying it, with two tabs on the bottom back hem to give it more taught of the flysheet plus a tab on each side of the flysheet to stop the middle section blowing into the inner, but if you peg it out properly and taught sides and back, they shouldn't move to much inwards, I've also made a gear loft from a spare air mesh bag from one of my sleeping bags that I use when keeping the sleeping bag aired ... and fits perfectly... the other thing when the rear of the tent is hit by strong winds, the poles will bend inwards , so I've used guy lines and peged each side out and made it more taught and in really severe winds I've used trekking poles to create and even stronger hold on the poles , making it completely solid all round 👍plus I've used it the other weekend and it's the first tent I've had that hasn't got condensation through the night ... don't know if that's something to do with the Pro version with different materials as I've also got the Salewa Sierra Leone II and that gets condensation big time ...

Thanks for a great review! I have to make one point though. The outer tent works fine even against heavy wind if you pull and fix the corners far enough. The inner tent is attached to the corners with adjustable straps and you need to make sure they're not too tight - otherwise they pull the corners in and leave the outer tent walls loose. I have the Litetrek 3 and I couldn't be happier with it! Can recommend for anyone looking for a free standing, compact, lightweight, easy to pitch tent for rougher conditions.

Get the 3 person version most of your issues will be nullified !!! Remember with most tents 1 = 1 no gear. 2 = 1 with gear and 3 = 2 with gear !!! And so on 😊

This is a alpin tent. Therefore it has to be put on small groundplaces in the mountains. Wenn you dont have large grasslands. Because of that it has such a small vestibule. To save floorspace. And the pitching on construction is to save time in every windy circumstancies in the rockys. A very very well thought out tent. Pitching on and off in minutes, even late in the evening with or without sunlight. I like it very much. Thank you for your review with greetings from germany.

After using it for a month, just after a few days it got a slight amount of mold stains on the inside green fabric. I already cleaned that away with vinegar and washed it for 1 hour with warm water. Now the stains are much less visible but i didn't manage to get them out completely. A bit sad but its a tiny thing that is really only visible if you pay very close attention. Still looks like new. This tent feels very good quality i love everything the colour combination is beautiful. Also my poles cracked easily and developed small cracks fast after a few days, i was very careful with the tent. Theres this metal thing you slide over so i'm fine, its just not as beautiful. I guess its because its made in china hopefully, bad quality control.

Great review enjoyed that thanks, see you in the next one.

Great video - as always! It's amazing how such small ventilation vents can make a huge difference, I always notice when we don't use ours. And cool feature with the quick clips for cooking. As the shorter half of our pairing, I always end up with the bags stacked in the space where my legs would be if they were longer 😂Nice review! - ellie

Nice review, thank you for sharing. You have a wonderful week.

Great review mate! Actually funnily I was looking for a trip on Achill island for some wild camping! I think i'll be going for the Litetrek 3 if I go with this. Nice one!

Well, I gave up buying one. Thanks for the video. ❤️👍

Excellent review! Just tried it in around 0˚C, it was great, but my feet were cold from the big mosquito net on the door. Will have to cover it with something :D

Good review.

Great review! I'm considering this tent. Your review covers so much, and very important, using the tent in the wild!

Just attach a tarp clip half way along base of flysheet with a guy line

Looks like a great tent for 2 little small people and a dog😊 Loved the review style with a smile and the clip system seems to get around the potential lack of space for storage or cooking in poor weather. A great place to try it out at the beautiful Annagh Strand👍

I always have a feeling that Salewa tents are always smaller than competitors, I mean 2 is 1.5 or 1 plus dog 😉 and bagpack 🤷

Thanks for a great review! I've almost bought this tent, but after understanding that there's no way to fix the tent side against the ground (which you show at 6:36) - that looks like a dealbreaker to me. I'm surprised that you're saying that it's a minor issue ) But, once again - thanks a lot for covering it!

GUY LINES!

Nice review would be interesting in poor weather that's the real test.

Would you still recommend it? I am also based in Ireland and I am on the look for a tent that can cope with high winds and loads of rain. Vango looks like a a pretty popular choice too. The Hydra would be selfstanding too but heavier... Thanks for your recommendations 👍
