MOUNTAIN LIFE - Coast Mountains | Summer 2018

138 MLCM SUMMER 2018 Tentsile Stealth “A cross between a hammock and a tent, the Stealth is a suspended three-person sleeper made from a flat and firm surface that attaches to three trees. Its netting roof allows for stargazing and insect-free comfort while an additional rainfly adds protection and privacy when needed. This model boasts three separate entrances with each occupant having their own generous hammock berth and storage space. Sweet dreams!” – Freddy, Alpine Start Outfitters, Vancouver. 604.876.2555 alpinestart.com Editor’s Pick: Burton Ideltime Chair “This thing is a true camping slayer that embodies simplicity, function and ingenuity. Sit back and relax at your fave spot with a built-in cooler that keeps an ice-cold six-pack at the ready! (Or a bottle of fine sake if that’s how you roll.) It’s a chair. It’s a cooler. It’s lightweight and comfortable. But is it genius? Yeah, it is.” – Feet Banks, Editor, Mountain Life. burton.com “Light enough for multi-day peak-bagging missions and strong enough for the wicked Coast Mountains weather, this two-person, full-protection adventure touring tent redefines the art of long-term roughing it. Designed for two people on self-supported adventure epics, this tent is all about backcountry liveability. Case in point: the roomy cooking vestibule for cold mornings or rainy days.” – Natalie, Escape Route,Whistler & Squamish. escaperoute.ca MSR Hubba Tour 2 Tent Exped MegaMat Lite 12 LW “The MegaMat Lite 12 offers you the comfort of Exped’s popular basecamp mats in a portable and lightweight package. With 12 cm of thickness, 3D construction, and a brushed tricot top, sleeping in the backcountry has never been so comfortable. The mat also fits in many cars and camper vans.” – Lizzie, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Vancouver & N. Vancouver. 604.872.7858 mec.ca Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Camper™ Duo “Your chances of getting tent-lucky have just been elevated. The days of the two-mattress gap ruining your sunrise spooning are over. Using a dual-chamber design and premium fabrics for comfort, the 3-inch thick Camper Duo is the thickest duo on the market. At 50 inches wide, there is definitely space for two, and the WaveCore™ structure and ThermaCapture™ lining keep you both warm.
