Bikepacker and MTB guide Julie Phelan reviews the trap tent she will be using for bikepacking this year.
Here is a great review of our lightweight 1 person Tarpstar tarp tent for bikepacking.
Julie is an ex Pro-Elite mountain biker. She is an MTB Leader and Mountain Leader. She regularly runs courses and guided trips, in the Peak District and Wales.
She also does a lot of bikepacking!
"when I do reviews, I only ever say what I think. If I don't like it, you'll know."
Eek, no pressure then.
In this review Julie pitches the tent from start to finish. Full of insights into choosing a tent for bikepacking, what really surprised Julie was just how roomy the Tarpstar was inside, plenty of room for you and your kit.
