A one-person double-wall trekking-pole tent with a 15D silicone-coated nylon fly and a mesh inner on a 40D silnylon floor. About 610 g without pegs (maker's figure). Poles not included.
A whole tent for the weight of a water bottle.
- Best for
- Solo lightweight hikers who already carry trekking poles.
- Think twice if
- Silnylon sags a little when wet: re-tension the guy lines at night. It needs a trekking pole to pitch; add our carbon poles if you don't have any.
About 610 g
Among the lightest double-wall tents you can carry.
15D silnylon fly
Light, strong and sheds rain.
Mesh inner
Bugs out, air through, and a proper floor.
Which kind of tent?
Light tents stand up in one of three ways. It changes where you can pitch, what you carry, and how long it takes.
Freestanding
Its own poles hold it up, so it stands on rock, platforms and sand before you stake it. The easiest to pitch, and usually the heaviest.
Semi-freestanding
A short pole set plus a few stakes. Lighter than freestanding and still quick to put up, but it needs ground you can stake into.
Trekking-poleThis one
Your trekking poles are the frame, so there are no tent poles to carry. The lightest option, but it needs good stakes and a little practice.
Pitch it at home first
Learn it in the backyard, not in the dark with the wind picking up.
Single or double wall
Single-wall tents are lighter but gather more condensation inside. Double-wall tents keep it off you and your bag.
Stakes matter
The stakes that come with light tents suit firm soil. For sand, snow or hard ground, carry a few longer or wider ones.
Weight per person
Split the tent between two packs: fly and poles in one, inner and stakes in the other.
