The Bach WickiUp 5 is a nylon tipi-style tent designed to shelter up to five people on group camping trips, outdoor gatherings or festival stays. Its conical shape creates a roomy interior with a central peak, offering a communal feel under the canvas.
The outer tent is crafted from GorLyn 30 siliconised ripstop nylon, which stands up to wear while shedding rain, and the inner tent uses 15D breathable ripstop nylon to help keep condensation at bay. The groundsheet is made of 40D ripstop nylon with a TPU coating that helps block ground moisture. A TRX Eco Duralumin Jumbo pole frame provides sturdy support, and the generous 205 cm peak height offers standing room under the apex. When packed away the tent fits into a 60 × 18 cm bag, making transport more manageable.
Denier (D) indicates the thickness of the thread used in each fabric—a higher number points to a tougher, more tear-resistant material, while a lower number means lighter weight and better airflow. The siliconised finish on the outer nylon adds water repellency by allowing raindrops to bead up rather than soak in. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) on the floor acts as a waterproof barrier against ground dampness. TRX Eco Duralumin is an aluminum alloy designed to balance strength and weight, helping keep the total packed weight at 3.42 kg without compromising durability.

Bach says about the WickiUp 5
A lightweight family camping tent like no other. That is our Wickiup 5 – a durable and waterproof tipi tent for up to 5 people. This tent is special because its pole is not in the middle of the sleeping cabin. Thanks to its asymmetrical design, it has a spacious vestibule and offers plenty of sleeping space for a family of 2 adults and 3 children. Like its smaller brothers, both the waterproof outer tent and the inner tent can be used as an independent shelter. Perfect for a comfortable family trip or for a group of friends exploring the great outdoors from spring to fall.
