A solid tunnel tent design gives the Pioneer four season strength with an adjustable fly to aid ventilation or increase weather protection. With versatile doors, large vestibules and a good sized inner there is more than enough space to comfortably fit two people plus winter gear.
Wechsel says:
The new tent model Pioneer is a 2 person long-sleeved tunnel tent with two lateral entrances. The opened doors can be installed with additional attachment rods to the canopy. The Pioneer is absolutely winter-suitable, has enough nets in the inner tent. The two equal-sized inner tent doors are covered with mosquito shelters in the upper half. For an additional protection of the tent, we recommend the use of a suitable Groundsheet. The groundsheet for the Pioneer only covers the inner tent area, not the apses. The Pioneer differs from the other tents of the Unlimited Line in the material selection of the outer tent: Ultra light 30D Rip Stop Nylon, siliconized on both sides.
The fabrics of the Unlimited Line are processed with high stitch density. All tents of the line have YKK zippers specially developed for tents as well as closable ventilation flaps, which can also be operated from the inside. The storage package contains a compression pack and reflective guy lines with guy line pockets and strong tent pegs.

Our Verdict
Wechsel's Pioneer UL 2 Person Tent builds on the strength of the tunnel tent design by using durable materials and results in a solid four season shelter. The all-in-one pitching makes putting it up quick and easy in any conditions. There is a weight penalty for such a strong, durable tent but the amount of space you get with this tent are arguably worth it. The two doors open from either side giving you plenty of access options depending on the weather.
The build quality of Wechsel tents is amazing, with durable materials and practical construction you can be confident they will work when the conditions are challenging. Each time this tent has been used it has stood up to the wind and rain brilliantly and the space inside is enough for you to avoid feeling closed in. The tent is designed for year-round use so it has plenty of ventilation and mesh options for use in warmer conditions.
