Ultralight Tents Buying Guide
Ultralight tents are designed to minimise pack weight for hiking and tramping. They suit multi-day trips where every gram matters and are commonly used by trampers covering longer distances.
This range includes compact shelters that prioritise low weight and small packed size. Many designs use trekking poles instead of traditional poles, which helps reduce overall gear weight.
Why choose an ultralight tent
An ultralight shelter can reduce the amount you carry, which can make a noticeable difference over longer distances. They suit experienced hikers who want to move faster or cover more ground.
Trekking pole setups
Many ultralight designs use trekking poles for support. This reduces weight but requires careful pitching and suitable ground conditions to achieve a secure setup.
Trade-offs to consider
An ultralight tent often has less internal space and may require more time to pitch correctly. They can also offer less protection in extreme weather compared to heavier tents.
When ultralight tents work best
These tents suit longer hikes, fast and light trips and routes where pack weight needs to be kept low. They work well for experienced trampers comfortable with minimalist setups.
