Kathmandu Mono v2 User manual
Just you and the wide world around
you: sometimes it’s good to get away
from the clutter and noise of daily life.
Spend a weekend cycling an endless
unwinding ribbon of road, or follow a
trail off the beaten track. The Mono
Tent is your perfect companion.
This lightweight tunnel tent packs
down small and is quick and easy
to set up, making it perfect for solo
hikers and cycle tourists. With its small
‘footprint’, the Mono can fit in limited
spaces other tents can’t. It’s your own
personal shelter, and the right tent to
choose if pack-space, weight and ease
are your three main concerns.
CARING FOR YOUR MONO TENT:
We’ve written these instructions
specifically for you. We know you know
what you’re doing, but please read
through and follow them anyway. This
tent must be fully and correctly pitched
to these instructions, using all guy-
lines and pegs supplied; failure to do
so may void the warranty.
We recommend pitching your new
tent for the first time at home to
become familiar with it and to check
you have everything. It’s better to be
looking at it now, than looking for it
when you need it.
The Mono is spacious for one
person (or very cosy for two). What
it lacks in size, bells and whistles it
makes up for in sturdy construction,
with strong alloy poles and durable
fabric. Its waterproof seam-sealed
fly-sheet, tough waterproof floor
and a breathable inner with a water-
repellent treatment helps keep the
weather outside. All this so you can
curl up after a day of exploring, read
a book, rest, and enjoy the quiet.

CAUTIONS:
• Keepopenameandallothersourcesofheataway
from the tent. The fabric of this tent is not fireproof.
Excessive heat can damage the tent fabric,
waterproof coatings and components.
• NEVER cook inside your tent. Cookers produce
carbon monoxide , which can (and has) killed
people. So cook outside, even if the weather’s
rubbish. Shelter your stove with carefully placed
rocks just outside the vestibule.
• Store all poles and pegs separately in the bags provided to
avoid damaging the tent fabrics.
• This tent can be damaged by petrol, kerosene, alcohol,
detergents and aerosols such as fly spray and deodorants.
• Donotmachinewashyourtent.

recommend you do not leave it pitched

• Incoldorwetweather,condensation
from your breath will form as water
droplets inside the fly and can be
mistaken for leakage. The only
solution for bad condensation is good
ventilation. To help you out, the tent has
a breathable inner, plus vents on the
fly to promote air circulation. The inner
fabric has also been treated with a
special finish to assist water droplets in
running off, rather than dripping on to
you.
