Elk River 1

The Elk River 1 sleeps one in a sloping tunnel design that uses a clip-on external single hoop with a ridge pole to create and maintain an aerodynamic shape − the occupant has enough head room to sit in the inner close to its door. Entry to the tent is via a front door that folds to one side. This features a double zip so the door can be cracked open at the top for additional ventilation. The front porch is large enough for backpack and boots.

Robens Tests

Robens Wind Test: The determination of the performance of a Robens tent in wind is based on the knowledge and technique available to Robens at the time of testing. During the test we register the maximum (MAX) speed impact a tent was subjected and the average (AVG) wind speed at which structural instability occurred. This may appear as a broken/deformed pole, or the collapse of the tent and subsequent return to shape when the wind drops. At no point was any form of catastrophic failure experienced up to the maximum wind speed.
