Vaude Refuge, the lightweight 2-person tent roof ridge
On Route alpine let's have another look at a piece of equipment.
For tours in the mountains is part of the safety equipment is a classic bivouac sack . Not just in emergencies, but also on planned tours bivouac sacks are used, only these have the disadvantage that they usually are not really luxurious and you would not want to spend a night with heavy rain.
Interestingly tours are planned, of course, tents, but they are usually more severe. The ideal combination of a bivouac sack and 2-person tent offers the company Vaude .
The Refuge by Vaude is a small light-weight in the range, because it is still below the 1kg mark.
On long trips many will surely miss comfort, but also on tours in the Pyrenees, the Vaude Refuge is already proven, as can be seen in some trip reports. The Refuge is, however, perfect for short trips where you as a biker in the Alps Cross as needed or just Notzelt in the alpine area, a small and lightweight roof over your head.
The interior of the Vaude Refuge is for two persons and their sleeping bags wide enough. Since the tent is a single-wall construction, but lacking in the existing double-wall tents distance between the outer and inner tent, the sleeping bag protects front of direct contact with the outer tent.
The special feature of the roof ridge tent is the minimalist design, rather than a conventional boom can be set up using the Refuge ski poles or a telescope, thus retaining the small pack size.
Despite this simple construction with trekking poles , the Vaude Refuge, the characteristics of a good shelter for mountain climbing with perfect weather protection because it offers in contrast to the bivouac sack more space and better overall protection.

Pack size and weight
As already mentioned, the pack size is very small and is given by Vaude, 40 x 15 cm. The weight is 860 grams indicate in Minimalistenumfang, the weight included 1050 grams.
Conclusion of the Alpine Route Editor:
The Refuge is struggling with the time, because with the weight it has in-house competition in the form of Vaude Power Lizard UL obtained, which reached two people and the 1kg mark. The principle of construction with the help of ski or hiking poles telescope is perfect because this one has it and can usually build a shelter that offers more space than a bivy sack.
Not so good here is the number of herring, since 10 stakes are included and of course, need the perfect base. With 4 guy lines can wind down the Vaude Refuge optimally.
