Ultralight tents

Ultralight backpacking tents for lightweight hiking

A long way has been traveled since the early days of tents - today’s tent selection includes suitable ultralight tents even for polar expeditions, as well as ultralight options for more relaxed weather conditions. Modern hikers and trekkers can now put together an astonishingly lightweight gear setup using top-quality products. A lightweight tent is one of the pieces of equipment that has the biggest impact on total pack weight.

The secrets of low weight

Weight savings come from material choices and tent size. Ultralight tents typically don’t have large vestibules, and the fabrics used are among the lightest available. Tear strength is admittedly one area where compromises are made in ultralight tents: when using an ultralight tent, treat sharp objects with even more care than usual.

Ultralight or just very light?

The word “ultra” implies something excessive or “beyond the norm.” When materials and structures are optimized for lightness at every point, using an ultralight shelter requires consideration: don’t head into an autumn mountain storm with the lightest tent on the market! Some manufacturers make a distinction between ultralight and lightweight trekking lines by naming products LW = Light Weight, as opposed to UL = Ultra Light.

The right tent for the right use

Always choose your tent according to the conditions: some ultralight tents are best suited for environments other than strong winds.
