Carinthia Observer Plus one person tent - Olive

The Observer range of bivvy shelters has long been a trendsetter, recognised by many European armies, including the Polish army—although in our case the military uses a typical unlicensed copy made from lower quality materials. While Observer tents are definitely expensive, this is due to the renowned manufacturer, European-based factories and the use of an advanced laminate with an original Gore-Tex membrane coated on both sides with polyamide, whereas standard tents more often use polyester. This translates into much greater resistance to damage compared to traditional tents, and ensures long-term waterproofness without the effect of a 'foil bag'. Setting up the Observer does not require tent pegs, and the process is simple—especially since it can be packed together with the mat and attached to a backpack, which means it doesn’t take up space and doesn’t dirty the inside of your luggage.

Review for model:

Very good bivvy, sets up instantly and offers many features – it can be fully closed, you can observe the surroundings through the gap in the flap, open the closure with an independent mosquito net or lift the top with a mosquito net. Importantly, although it's not visible in the photos, it has two mosquito nets. It retains heat very efficiently and there is virtually no condensation inside (except near the feet). A big advantage is that the bivvy can be set up without using pegs. The colour blends perfectly into the environment. After 3 weeks of use, I have noticed no faults apart from slight condensation near the feet, which may cause a feeling of cold.

Excellent product, works perfectly in tough combat conditions. It is waterproof and the material is breathable. I am truly impressed! Additionally, your sleeping bag will be safe from rats and mice.

Very good and spacious tent for one person. For this price, the workmanship is at a very high level. Using the tent is very comfortable, and setting it up and taking it down is pure pleasure. Highly recommended.
