Lightweight Shelter for a Good Night’s Sleep
The lightest tents and tarps pack down very small and weigh astonishingly little. They are suitable for overnight stays in favorable conditions. Low weight reduces strain on muscles and joints, and fast-moving hikers also take notice of daily distance — lighter gear helps you go farther with less fatigue.
Ultralight or just really light?
The word “ultra” means excessive or “beyond.” When materials and structures are chosen solely for minimal weight, using an ultralight shelter requires careful consideration: don’t head into a mountain autumn storm with the lightest tent on the market! Some manufacturers distinguish between ultralight and lightweight trekking gear by naming products LW = Light Weight, in contrast to UL = Ultra Light.
Favorite brands for lightweight trekking
