Ultralight Pole-Less Tents

Ultralight Pole-less Tents for Hiking and Tramping

When every gram matters, our ultralight pole-less hiking tents deliver the comfort and shelter you need without unnecessary weight. Designed for trampers, bikepackers, and backcountry explorers, these tents utilise your trekking poles for setup. This means no dedicated tent poles—just smart, efficient design. Our range includes 1-person and 2-person shelters weighing as little as 850 grams, ideal for solo missions or shared adventures. Compact and easy to pack, these trekking pole tents offer rapid setup and a secure pitch even in unpredictable New Zealand conditions. From overnight bushwalks to multi-day backcountry routes, you’ll find a shelter that fits your style and gear strategy.

Minimalist Without Compromise

Each shelter in this category is single or double wall, with excellent ventilation, waterproof fabrics, and well-placed guy-out points. Some models come in flame-retardant or green low-profile colours suited for stealth camping. You can expect a balance between performance, durability, and weight that suits thru-hikers and backcountry minimalists alike.

Why Go Pole-less?

Swapping tent poles for trekking poles reduces your base weight and increases pack space—critical for multi-day trips where every item has to earn its place. These designs also allow more flexible pitching options in tight or uneven campsites.
