Pinguin Echo 1 DAC

Pinguin Echo 1 DAC

Ultralight single-seater tent with one side entrance and a vestibule, very popular among bikers, cyclists and minimalists, mainly due to its collapsibility.

It is made of Nylon with RipStop treatment and triple double-sided siliconization, guaranteeing a water column of 4,000 mm. The seams are not taped, but expansion threads are used, which multiply their volume when in contact with water and seal the needle hole.

Theliner is made of Nylon with Polyurethane coating with a water column of 10 000 mm.

The rods consist of 9 mm diameter DAC Featherlite NSL 7001 T6 duralumin segments.

Ventilation is located at the top of the sidewalls and at the foot area. The ventilation windows are shaped so that they are not tilted by the wind. This prevents leakage even in rain with strong winds.

The rod structure is strung in tunnels outside the tropic. The tropico and the inner tent (hanging from the inside of the tropico) are erected simultaneously after the rods are threaded through. The main advantage of this concept is that the inner tent can be detached from the canopy and the canopy can be erected separately as a single-skin tent without a floor. Other advantages are: quick tent erection, the inner tent does not get wet when erected in the rain.

The tent is not self-supporting, it must be anchored with at least a minimum number of pegs (4 pcs).

DAC Featherlite NSL

NSL Featherlite rods feature high precision manufacturing, the use of high quality 7001 T6 aluminum and ingeniously designed construction.

Each segment has two different diameters for optimum strength. Each segment is widened at the ends where the segments join, and tapered in the middle. The advantage of this solution is the weight saving and the fact that the segments and the connecting insert have the same diameter increases the overall stiffness and strength of the members.
