Tents

The right tent changes a trip. It means sleeping well instead of lying awake in a draught, pitching fast in the rain, and carrying a shelter that earns its weight on every route. Our range runs from 500g ultralight shelters to geodesic mountain tents built for full winter conditions. 1 to 6 man, for every type of adventure. All covered by our 3-year Alpine Bond.

Tents

Five types of tent, each built for different adventures and different priorities. Here's how to find yours.

Lightweight tents and ultralight tents

Weight matters more with every kilometre. Our lightest shelters are built for bikepackers, fastpackers, and anyone covering big distances with a loaded pack.

Going ultralight means accepting a smaller interior and using trekking poles to pitch rather than freestanding poles. If that trade-off suits how you travel, the payoff is real. Our Tarpstar 2 tarp tent comes in at 500g. Lighter than most water bottles.

Backpacking tents

Backpacking tents balance weight with enough space to live in for a few nights. You're carrying everything, so pack size matters. But you're also relying on your tent if the weather changes, so build quality does too.

The Soloist is our 1 man tent, built for solo wild camping and multi-day routes with a fast pitch and a genuinely compact pack size. The Soloist XL gives you the same system with more room to move. The Ordos and Jaran come in 2 and 3 man versions for when you're sharing the load.

Not sure which tent suits your trip? Our guide to choosing a tent covers everything from season ratings to inner volume.

Bikepacking tents

Your shelter is one of the biggest decisions when packing for a bikepacking trip. It needs to fit into a frame bag or handlebar roll, pitch quickly at the end of a long day, and handle whatever the forecast throws at you.

Our Aeronaut inflatable tents use air beam poles that pack down smaller than traditional poles and pitch in under two minutes. The Polestar and Tarpstar pitch with your trekking poles, cutting pack size further. The Elan hooped bivvy is the lightest option if you're travelling fast and the route matters more than the shelter.

Still working out what suits your setup? Our bikepacking tent guide covers the key decisions.

4 season and mountain tents

Three-season tents are built for reasonable conditions. Our 4-season tents are built for when the weather has no intention of being reasonable.

We've been designing mountain tents for over 20 years. The geodesic pole structure gives a rigid, low-profile shape that handles heavy snow loading and sustained high winds. These are the tents for high-altitude expeditions, Scottish winter camps, and multi-day routes above the snowline.

The Kangri sleeps 2 man, the Zhota sleeps 4 man, and the Heksa gives a 6 man shelter with enough headroom to sit out a storm in some comfort. For a closer look at what separates a 4-season tent from the rest, read our 4-season tent guide.

Organic cotton canvas tents

Canvas tents are for a different kind of trip. They're heavier than nylon tents, so you're driving to site rather than carrying them on your back. But if you're staying put for a few nights, the experience is worth the weight.

Cotton canvas breathes properly. That means cooler nights in summer and warmer than you'd expect through spring and autumn. With the right care, a canvas tent lasts decades rather than seasons.

The Roundhouse bell tent sleeps 2 to 4 man with standing room throughout, making it a proper base camp for family trips. The Frejus A-frame is a 2 man option with a classic look for 3-season use.
