Alpkit product chatter across the internet

Many Alpkit customers have their own websites in which they discuss life, gear and adventures. Here are just a few that we are aware of..

Heksa

The Heksa blurs the boundaries of base camp and family camping. With the inherent strength of a base camp tent and the size of a family tent the Heksa will find favour with a multitude of users. It has room for 3-4 people to live comfortably inside for extended periods and it can accommodate up to 6, but you’ll be a little squished. It's small pack size and low weight will find it friends on expeditions all over the world. So whether you are taking the kids to Wales or planning an expedition to one of the world's biggest peaks, the Heksa has the space and the strength to accommodate your ambitions.

Zhota

The Zhota is an extremely versatile 3-4 person mountain tent. Every feature on the tent has been designed to make your life in the mountains more pleasurable. The most striking feature of the tent is the central spreader bar which splits the geodesic shape of the tent and increases the internal living space without adversely compromising external strength.

Kangri

Light enough to carry, strong enough to cope, the Kangri carefully balances durability, strength and weight to deliver a structure that will cope with the harsh conditions you may face on your expedition. Based on the classic 4 pole geodesic structure the Kangri is light enough to provide shelter even at the most remote camps. The premium DAC NSL Featherlite aluminium poles are up to 15% lighter than a comparable traditional strength pole, the 40D Sil Nylon outer is strong enough to provide protection from elements and heavy handed sherpas!!
