Trek G20 XT Tent

Reliable, weatherproof two-person tent with extended porch for bikepackers and long-distance hikers

Not everyone wants gossamer-thin ultralight gear, nor do they want bombproof, expedition-ready kit. No, when it comes to outdoor camping essentials like a tent, most bikepackers, tourers and wild campers look for a solid, reliable and functional shelter that will guard them from serious weather when it hits, but which is light enough to carry, while being durable enough to last for years of adventures. And all, ideally, without breaking the bank. The Lightwave Trek range delivers on all counts. With simple, inner-first pitching, they give outstanding performance in high wind and bad weather. The fabrics and components have been similarly selected for maximum performance and durability, while keeping overall cost in mind. Lastly, the functional yet minimalist design keeps weight at a sensible level, yet also include an extended porch to give extra storage on extended trips or bikepacking tours.

  • 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 didnt change a thing – and thats why we love it.
