From the mind of Ian Maley at Wilderness Equipment comes an innovative new single-person tent, the ACE UL. Designed with outdoor ed instructors in mind, the tent combines light weight and four-season performance with exceptional space and sit-up headroom. The space and headroom is thanks to a free-standing pole design that incorporates a unique ‘dihedral-hub’ that allows steeper-sided walls than most single-person designs. The ACE UL has a mesh inner, a 30-denier ripstop-polyester, silicon-treated fly rated to 1500 millimetres waterhead, and a 70-denier nylon floor rated to 5000 millimetres waterhead. The minimum pitched weight (with two pegs) is 1.92 kilograms, while the packaged weight is 2.13 kilograms. It retails for $485.  A mesh-less winter version and a cheaper institutional model are also available. seatosummit.com.au
