• Flysheet - 70 g/m2, 40d nylon 6.6 ripstop, silicone-coated both sides, 5000 mm hydrostatic head
• Groundsheet - 135 g/m2, 150d polyester taffeta, 3-pass PU-coated, (90 g/m2, 70d polyester taffeta, on the t10 trek & t10 trek xt,) 5000 mm hydrostatic head, factory-taped seams
• Inner Canopy - 45g/m2, 40d nylon 6.6 ripstop, DWR treated
• Poles - DAC 9.00mm 7001-T6 Pressfit aluminium alloy

• The trek flysheet is made from 40-denier nylon, which strikes an excellent balance between weight and strength.
• Trek poles are made of the same 7001-T6 alloy employed in probably 90% of all backpacking tents in the world. Whilst there are lighter alloys around, Lightwave always come back to the 7001 series because it is so reliable and resilient.
• Trek tents use Lightning pegs – similar in weight to most standard pegs, but substantially stronger and capable of living with some serious abuse.

When New Zealander Carol McDermott first began designing outdoor gear, his main concern was creating lightweight, high-performing kit that would give him an edge in the mountains - you know, the kind of gear without bells and whistles that serious climbers and trekkers crave. So when he founded Lightwave, McDermott didn’t change a thing - and that’s why we love it.
