What is the Abisko Lite 1?
The Abisko range of tents by Fjallraven are some of the most versatile year round tents available. This Abisko Lite model is entirely focused on lightweight trekking in four-season conditions. Despite the small pack size, the Lite 1 possesses the durability to last years of use and enough room to accommodate extra gear in the vestibule area.
How is the tent constructed?
The Abisko Lite 1 is constructed in a tunnel shape with a single durable pole used to support the main bulk of the tent, and four small poles (only around 30cm in length) used to prop the corners of the tent upright. The whole tent sits just 90cm high, meaning in strong wind the shape of the tent and the low ceiling allows air to pass over more freely. Moving to the front of the tent, Fjallraven supply you with one large door which gives you wide access into the sleeping area. A mosquito net covers the door into the sleeping area and allows you to roll the main door on the flysheet back, but have the mosquito net zipped for ventilation and insect protection.
What are its features?
Feature wise, you get three total pockets, one big, two small, YKK zippers which won't undo in strong winds, ultra tough reflective guylines to avoid tripping in low light, a clothesline inside to dry wet kit, multiple vents to increase airflow and low-friction pole sleeves to reduce the chance of damage.
What is the Abisko Lite made from?
The main bulk of the fabric used by the Abisko Lite is Fjallraven's 20D lightweight TripleRip fabric. This tear resistant and extremely light fabric will pack down to very little and weighs next to nothing, while a more burly 40D fabric is used on the groundsheet and the lower flysheet; areas most prone to abrasion. A 3000mm hydrostatic head flysheet provides complete waterproofing, while the 6000mm groundsheet increases the durability and waterproofing even further.
Summary
The Abisko Lite 1 is a brilliant option for those requiring a lightweight yet durable four-season tent for one user while trekking and backpacking. A long list of ventilation options and Fjallraven's exceptional build quality ensures years of reliable, comfortable and high performance use.
