Why Choose the Apex Compact 100?

The Apex Compact 100 is an innovative and lightweight tent, designed for those who enjoy wild camping, need a reliable shelter for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, or require a compact tent for solo adventures. As part of our Earth Collection, the Apex is crafted using Protex® Eco fabric, made from recycled single-use plastics. This eco-friendly 70D ripstop polyester is waterproof to 3,000mm Hydrostatic Head with fully taped seams, ensuring durability and performance in challenging weather conditions.

Ideal for mountaineering, hiking, and bikepacking, the Apex Compact 100 features 30cm pole sections, allowing it to pack down small enough to attach to bike handlebars. The tunnel tent design reduces weight while maximising internal space, and the PoweLite Alloy Poles offer lightweight durability. Thoughtful details such as O-shaped doors for one-handed opening, mesh panels for enhanced airflow, and a rain stop flysheet make it perfect for use in summer or abroad. With a single porch for storage and a Fast Pack tent bag, the Apex ensures practicality and convenience for any wild camping or DofE expedition.
