Trekkertent Saor DCF 4-season winter tent review

14 Jan January 14

I have tested the four season winter tent “Trekkertent Saor” in the lightweight 0.8 oz DCF (Dyneema Composite Fabric) flysheet version, weighing in at 1180 grams (41 oz). It features a silpoly PU4000 floor and is a freestanding tent, making it a great choice to use in all sorts of terrains. Overall I really like the tent, despite same hassles in the set up and the high price of around 700€. Check out the video for all the details and some impressions from a test setup in the snowy winterlandscapes in Germany!
