Luxe Tempo is perhaps a lesser known camping brand, but today I thought it would be nice to feature some of their gear. Because Luxe Tempo is a great company that produces high quality, lightweight gear that’s perfect for backpackers and wilderness explorers, like myself. All of their products are designed to maintain an optimum level of weight and space. A single rucksack can hold all of these items, along with clothing and other small gear, or you can simply strap them to the top or bottom to remain completely hands free. Their Sleeping Pad perhaps weight the most of these three featured items, but even so, by comparison to comparable pads on the market, it seems lighter and smaller when stored than any other of its quality.
Luxe Tempo’s 2-Person Ultralight Tent
A quality backpacker tent must be lightweight and store small and carry easily, while being unchallenging for a single person to setup. The 2-Person Ultralight Tent is a great small backpackers tent, large enough for two, but if you’re traveling alone and want optimum comforts, then this tent is a great choice for that. It’s relatively easy to setup as it has two poles that crisscross and suspend the tent, and a rainfly cover finishes the setup. I’d suggest implementing a rain tarp for the ground foundation.
I found this great 2-person tent to be easy to setup, and high quality. Most of all, my favorite aspect of this tent, is how well it closes down and rolls up into its small bag. Beyond that, the fact that it’s so lightweight, with a simple yet effective design, makes it a winner for me. Not only is it small, lightweight, and of expected quality, it is one of the more affordable tents on the market at this quality.

Luxe Tempo’s Hooded Thermal Sleeping Bag
A great sleeping bag can make all the difference when you’re out in the wilderness during the colder months. There are sleeping bags that rate at -15 or -35 degrees, as well as others that are meant for warming climates. The Hooded Thermal Sleeping Bag is a quality in between bag, perfect for a single person. It’s rated for 40-60 degrees, but from my experience, you can push those limits one way or another, or if anything, simply add a wool blanket overtop if you want to use this sleeping bag in zero to negative temperatures.
The hood is a nice touch, as is the feel of the fabric, because it is soft and lightweight, yet is capable of trapping in a person’s heat, and therefore creating that thermal effect that can help you survive in frigid temperatures. The tent is a rectangular shape, measuring at 76.7” (+11.8” for the hood) long x 29.5” wide, and is made of 380T Nylon Taffeta (shell), Thermal Polyester Fiber (fill), and 190T Polyester Pongee (lining). I found Luxe Tempo’s sleeping bag to be a nice sleeping bag, perfect for backpackers traveling at a wide range of temperatures. Though, I wouldn’t suggest taking this bag along trips of ten-to-twenty degrees below.

Luxe Tempo’s Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad
Seeping pads are relatively new for me, because I’ve traveled and camped all over this country without one. More recently, I’ve found rollup foam pads and have used those, but that’s only if I’m traveling with my vehicle, because they’re much too cumbersome for backpacking, and they can be a pain in the butt. But now, Luxe Tempo has come out with a self-inflating model which is pretty awesome by comparison of what I’ve been used to. Their version is lightweight enough for a serious backpacker, and stores up nice and tight in a thin roll.
Luxe Tempo’s Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad provides the user with a firm foundation in minutes, which if you’ve ever had to make a flat place for your campsite in the wild, then you understand how awful it can be when you have to sleep on rocks and bumps galore. This sleeping pad helps to defend against that. I found its self-inflating feature to be pretty damn cool, and I love the way it stores, thin and tight for light travel.
