The ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 2 is a freestanding two person tent for backpackers and campers who want a roomy shelter that goes up fast. It has a 229 x 152 cm floor and 117 cm of centre height, with a door and vestibule on each side, so two people can get in and out without climbing over each other. This set comes with the matching Lynx 2 footprint to protect the floor.
It suits cool season trips in the UAE, from Jebel Jais and the Hajar mountains to desert camps between October and April. Half mesh walls keep air moving on mild nights, and the coated polyester fly buckles on to block wind and rain when the weather turns.
