Expedition Tent

Tents are more popular now than they used to be. Likely also because tents have become a lot lighter and smaller in pack size. Those who have opted for a tent often chose a Rab Latok Summit and following discussions in our facebook group, feedback on this tent has been very good. That is why from now own we offer the Rab Latok Summit for rent.

Harnesses

The harnesses we offer for rent are from Snowsled. They work with rope and rigid hauling shafts. Available sizes (minimum body waist measurements): S = 81 – 89 cm, M = 92 – 104 cm and L = 107 – 117 cm.

The following instructions are from Snowsled:

• Bear in mind that you may feel more comfortable wearing your harness slightly lower than your waist, possibly at hip level. The sizes above allow for thermal and shell clothing layers.
• The belts use a duel density foam layer within a hard wearing Cordura cover, the softer foam being on the inside. At times you may find it more comfortable to haul with the waistbelt loosened.
