This new updated version of the boot which has been the top 4 season walking boot in the last few seasons is now 10% lighter due to the new sole unit.

Scarpa Manta GSB Jorasses Sole Unit

The Jorasses GSB sole is a unique development from one of the top sole manufacturers – Vibram. A dual compound sticky rubber is used and the sole has a softer rubber at the front of the foot. The overall make up of the rest of the sole is manufactured in a unique way to create a great 4 season boot. The boot is lightweight due to this unique sole and has great shock absorption qualities.

The shoe also excels when you require the use of crampons as the sole is uniquely molded to accommodate the use of step in crampons. The system is much faster than others we have seen in getting the crampons on and off and is also much safer due to the GSB Manta boot having no protrusions to catch onto debris.

The “last” is the foot shaped model that the boot has been crafted around. This is what will give a boot its characteristics. Scarpa develop lasts specifically for the use of each boot. The Manta GSB boot uses what is called the DL Last. It is stated by Scarpa that this last has been “tested and proven in many of Scarpa’s best selling alpine models, this last provides a higher volume and broader fit, with exceptional all day mountain comfort, regardless of the activity.”

Tents are categorised into 4 main types and the different sizes and shapes effect how easily the tents are pitched and how stable they are and also effect the overall weight of the tent. The shape and type of tent is determined mainly by the configuration of how the poles are set up within the tent. The 4 tent shapes are listed below, the order is done in how many nodes the tents have in ascending order. A node is a point where a tent pole crosses:

• Tunnel Tents
• Dome Tents
• Semi Geodesic Tents
• Fully Geodesic Tents

In the list above the the top tents are generally the lighter tents and the last ones being the heavier tents. This scale is also reflected in the stability of the tents with the most stable tents being at the bottom of the list.

Tunnel Tents

The tunnel tent is mostly used for family or light backpacking tents. The tunnel tent is the quicker pitching tent of the 4 different shapes and also the lighter of the tent shapes. You will also find that with the tunnel tent you have a greater amount of headroom due to the maximum internal height of the tent is running straight down the middle.

The tunnel tent needs to be fully guyed out as it is the less stable of the tent types so make sure these tents are well held down. These tents have 0 nodes so poles do not cross over at all.

Dome Tents

The dome tents are a bit more stable than the tunnel tent but have less head room due to its design. What you will find though is that the dome tents use side poles to make extra rooms and bedrooms. The dome tent is best suited as a family or trekking tent.

The dome tent is quite aerodynamic and you will find them to be more stable than the tunnel tents. The dome tents are also free standing so you can easily pick up the tent in effect and pitch it in a different location with little effort. Dome tents have just 1 node ( 1 tent pole crossing).

Semi Geodesic Tents

With semi-geodesic tents you get again another boost in the stability of the tent but the tents are getting heavier up in this range and the pitching of the tent is not as quick as it can be quite complex. With semi geodesic tents you normally have about 2-4 nodes.

Fully Geodesic Tents

The fully-geodesic tents are the most stable type of tents with about 5+ nodes in the design. These tents are the most complex to put up and are also the most stable of the tents available.

The fully geodesic tents are suited to use as a mountaineering tent where you will be encountering harder terrains and climates. If you want your tent pitched up and it stay there for the duration of your stay then a fully geodesic tent will provide you with this.

The pole configurations are strong and will ensure the tent can handle any heavy rain or sown falls.

Tent Types Summary

Of all the outdoor camping supplies the camping tent can be the most difficult to choose and the decision must be made with sufficient knowledge available. Make sure you account for how easy your tent will be to pitch in terms of effort and time, how stable the tent is and the the weight of the tent.
