The luxe hexpeak v4a is an ultralight two man tent suited to backpacking, bikepacking, wild camping and camping in the mountains. I bought this tent based upon reports of just how well they perform in bad weather having experienced challenging conditions whilst camping on the Scottish hills - I didn't want to take others opinions as fact though, so I decided to test the Hexpeak and its capabilities myself!

With forecasts predicting strong winds and the Met Office putting out a yellow warning for heavy rain and flooding across Scotland, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test the tent in the tough conditions one could expect to find whilst wild camping high on the mountain summits.

I found a good spot on the Ayrshire coast that would replicate an exposed mountain summit; a cliff top with a vertical drop of over 100m and pitched as close to the edge as possible so the tent was being hit with the full force of the wind as it came in off the sea. Likewise, I set up the flysheet in my garden and let the heavy rain hammer it for three days, testing it for any water ingress each day.

I hope you enjoy it and I hope you find it interesting :)
