Bach WickiUp 3 Ultralight Backpacking Tipi Tent

About the Bach WickiUp 3

The WickiUp 3 from Bach gives you an incredibly lightweight tipi tent for increased living comfort and wind stability.

The ultralight design features a packed weight of approx. 2.1kg with a 45 x 10cm packed size that easily attaches to a bike pannier or backpack for fast-moving outdoor adventures.

Built for 3-season camping, the WickiUp 3 uses a strong, single-pole architecture that delivers extreme stability in bad weather. The WickiUp tipi pitches inner-first with a versatile design that can stand alone for use in good weather. By using the additional footprint (sold separately) you can also pitch the fly without the inner for a minimalist ‘fast fly’ camping experience where conditions allow. The full-size cabin can also be switched out with a half-size cabin (sold separately) to create a vestibule for storage and meal prep.

Inside, the full-sized inner room provides room enough for three persons with single-door access and 3 vents in the roof for ample airflow and moisture management through all kinds of conditions.

Built for fast-and-light camping and trekking, the WickiUp features GorLyn 20 siliconised ripstop fabric. This has been specially constructed for Bach’s lightweight trekking range and uses high-tenacity nylon 6.6, with a yarn thickness of 20 denier which has a higher tensile strength than comparable shelter materials.

The WickiUp 3 features a pure silicone waterproofing with 2 base coatings in the backside and 1 coating on the front to provide storm-level waterproofing to 3000mm HH (see below for further benefits of Gorlyn fabrics).

With its high wind stability, generous living space, and trail-friendly design, the WickiUp 3 is a compact bell tent crafted for outdoor enthusiasts looking for quality and comfort without compromising against changing weather conditions. The low weight means it’s even a great tent for solo trekkers looking for extra space over longer trips.

Benefits of Gorlyn Fabrics:

– Better weathering properties; better sunlight resistance

– Much higher tear strength depending on the yarn weight (ISO 13937-4)

– More compact molecular structure

– Higher melting point (256 C)

– Superior colourfastness

– Excellent abrasion resistance

– High resistance to insects, fungi, animals, as well as moulds, mildew, rot and many chemicals

– Melts instead of burning
