It’s a freestanding two-person tent, with a porch\/vestibule on each side, built from tough polyester. The 68D ripstop fly is rated to 5,000mm HH, the 75D PU-coated floor to 7,000mm, and the seams are factory-taped for good measure. A hubbed aluminium pole set with an additional transverse centre pole gives high wind stability, generous internal length gives taller campers room to stretch out, and Power Triangle fly sheet reinforcements spread the load at every guy point. All of this comes for a total weight of 2.84kg (2.54kg trail weight), with a packed size of 48 × 18cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"RightDesc\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab1\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003eOVERVIEW\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab4\"\u003eMATERIALS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab5\"\u003eSETUP GUIDE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab6\"\u003eTHE BRAND\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid design with two entrances and two integrated porches\/vestibules.

In 1987, Jörg Schulze set off from the North Cape for Cape Town in a VW Beetle, covering 37,000km in seven months. Famously, the Beetle’s air-cooled engine is in the back, which put luggage space at a premium – especially when it came to his tent and camping gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrustrated by constantly playing packing Tetris, when he got back home Jörg decided it was time for change. His experience as an outdoor retailer and industry tent tester helped him come up with several prototypes for better, less bulky tents. An early success was the Pathfinder, a freestanding solo backpacking tent, followed by the innovative Outpost tunnel tent. Then came the Forum 42, developed with input from one of Germany’s biggest online outdoor communities. Most recently, Wechsel unveiled the Bella, the result of a co-creative design process with female adventurers. That tent won gold at the #sheisoutdoors awards, just one of several industry gongs the brand has claimed down the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there’s a secret to Wechsel’s success, it’s evolution: a focus on iterative, progressive design informed by constant input and feedback from genuine outdoor enthusiasts. The name Wechsel is German for ‘change’, which sums this ethos up perfectly: this is a brand with a restless thirst for innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wechsel","offers":[{"title":"2P \/ Laurel Oak","offer_id":51851972444327,"sku":"wechsel-231059","price":279.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1482\/7698\/files\/wechsel-venture-2-tents-2p-laurel-oak-wechsel-231059-1267043655.jpg?v=1794413888","url":"https:\/\/wildbounds.com\/products\/venture-2-laurel-oak","provider":"WildBounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
