Not all of us can drop a couple of G’s on the fanciest hiking gear available. If you’re looking for a hiking tent that won’t break the bank and will get you through your outdoor adventures, then look no further than the Spartan 1 Hiking Tent from Explore Planet Earth.
This single tent has just enough room to house a solo hiker, with room under the vestibule to store your wet gear, pack or boots. The colour-coded frame means setup is going to be easy as, and the UV 50+ fire retardant fly will protect you from the elements.
With a 4000mm rated fly, this tent has some serious water protection for a tent of its calibre. The Door is made from No-see-um mesh, so you will get plenty of ventilation inside your space. The Spartan 1P is the perfect hiking and backpacking tent for your first foray into hiking, or for those on a budget.
What's the actual head height? The diagrams suggest both 100cm and 92cm while Snowy's lists it as 82cm. Need to know if it's too low to sit up in. I'm 185cm tall. Thanks.
G'day Peter,
There's an old diagram there from previous models which we've removed now - the 0.92cm on the current diagram indicates the external height.
The specifications state an internal height of 82cm.
We recommend sitting against the wall and noting your head height - plus the thickness of your sleeping mat to get an idea of height required.
Is it possible to set this tent up fly first so that the inner can remain dry in wet conditions
G'day Ewan,
Unfortunately, due to the pole design of this hiking tent, you need to erect the inner of the Explore Planet Earth Spartan 1 Hiking Tent first.
Can you tell me if this is a free standing tent
G'day John,
The Explore Planet Earth Spartan 1 Hiking Tent is a freestanding tent, though you will still have to peg and guy it out to keep it sturdy of course.
