Care

Any washing should be done in lukewarm water by hand with mild detergents.

Repeated folding seams could weaken the fabric over time, so the manufacturer recommends just stuffing the tent in its bag. We like this approach because it's also easier to do.

Description

If you think tents are too heavy, here's one that you will barely notice in your rucksack! At well below two pounds (incl. accessories) it's the lightest tent with a groundsheet in our selection!

The Superlight Tarp Tent is a frame-free single-skin tent, which means there is no inner tent or poles and weight has been reduced to incredibly low figures as a result. The tent still has a separate bug net and waterproof groundsheet, so comfort and functionality isn't sacrificed all that much.

The tent is pitched by pegging the tent to the ground and then using a light spreader pole (included) to prop up the foot end and two 135 cm / 53" hiking poles (not included) for the taller side. This kind of dual-use of hiking poles is a smart way to reduce weight. From there it's just a matter of using guy lines to increase the space inside, open vents, and secure the tent. Optional guy-out points can be used to secure the tent in stronger winds.

Room for one person and gear, the layout has a separate space for muddy boots so keeping the interior clean is possible.

Single skin tents, in general, don't handle condensation as well as double-walled models, but this model has generous vents and no seams run horizontally on the fabric, which would cause condensed water to stop and drop.
