The tent weighs ~2400g (excluding, pack sack, pole and stakes), which is ~1500g less than the standard model. and is suitable for open fire use and the use of our ultralight titanium stoves. The 2P Light SOSWA is capable of withstanding very high winds and heavy rain and offers a relyable bastion, the snowflaps shed out airflow and improve stability in bad conditions.
The light SOSWA comes with two opposite zippers, which allow to detach the tent into halves, each of which can be used as a seperate shelter, and can be transported seperately.
Packing size: diameter~14cm x length~35cm
To protect against ground moisture, the Tschum 2P light SOSWA can be combined with the tentfloor 2P. As the floor is made as a flat piece, and it is connected with elastics to five aluminium cliphooks inside the tent, it will float slightly above ground when unloaded. In practice, that is an easy way to keep water from running onto- and small things from rolling off the floor.
Pole and pegs are not included. We recomend a pole lenght of 180cm.

Before pitching the tent, please adjust all pegging points to half length.
Connect the tents halves with the zippers,
and connect the spider webbing in the top hole with the shackles or carabiners.
Take two pegging points that are next to eachother, and peg them both to the same point.
This defines the middle of the tent.
By hanging a rope from the branch you want to hang the tent from, you can find exactly the right spot for the tent.
Now take a pegging point that is next to the both that you pegged down to the later center of the tent.
Pull it firmly, and peg it down.
Now go the the exact opposite side, take the pegging point that is next to the other side of the points you pegged down to the tents center.
Pull it firmly and peg it down. You now have three points pegged down. Make sure, that the points are in a straight line.
Now detatch the two pegging points in the center, and pull them gently outward.
It is now relatively easy to find the symmetry before pegging the two points down to their final position.
Do the same on the opposite side, find the symmetry and peg the rest down.
Open one of the zippers, insert the pole into the small pocket of the spider webbing, and push the tent upwards.
Make sure not to apply bending force on the pole, just pushing in the direction of the pole.
Close the zipper again, and make the fine adjustment on the pegging points.
Watch the hole on the top, when the hole looks nice and even, the whole tent is pitched fine.
Attach the top cover.
If you use a centrepole inside the tent, the small triangle of the cover is turned inside out, so that the cover can sit on the spider tip like a hat.
If you use outer poles or hang the tent from a tree, there is a rope running through at the top. Leave the cover flat, lay it around the tip like a cloak, and attach it with the small piece of rope that is sewn to the center.
The elastics should now be attached to the tent body. They run straight down, not sideways. The opening of the top hole can be modified by attaching several elastics to one point. The cover is fully closed by overlapping two segments.
