ULTRALIGHT CAMPING & HIKING TENTS

Our award-winning ultralight backpacking tents have everything you need for your next trip. With freestanding and semi-freestanding options available for your next camping or backpacking adventure, there’s an option to suit everyone.

Designed with unique Tension Ridge architecture, our Telos, Ikos and Alto tents have greater overall ceiling height, near vertical walls and higher doors. This has allowed us to put our oversized Apex Vent at the highest point of the tent to more effectively expel hot air and reduce condensation.

Both tents offer multiple set-up configurations and our Telos tents can be used in Hangout Mode, which converts your tent’s fly into a semi-open shelter.

AT A GLANCE: THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR ULTRALIGHT TENTS

The ultralight tents from Sea to Summit combine high-quality materials, clever functional details, small pack size and unique comfort. Innovative design elements make your time spent in the tent even more pleasant.

  • More space and a better space-to-weight ratio than any tent in its class thanks to Tension Ridge
  • Advanced venting system for more airflow and less condensation
  • Multiple configuration options adapting to the weather or your activity
  • Vertical walls, higher doors and more room


ULTRALIGHT TENT: DESIGN DETAILS THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

  • Quick Connect Tent Feet: attach and tension the fly one-handedly — or adapt your tent set-up.
  • Lightbar: create a lamp for your tent with our light-diffusing tent pole bag and headlamps.
  • DAC Poles: the gold standard in tent poles — our tents combine DAC Featherlite NFL, NSL and PRESSFIT.
  • Ground Control Light Tent Peg: lightweight, strong and versatile — our unique tent pegs maximise grip in almost any ground.
  • Fairshare Storage System: split the load of your tent within your backpack or between your fellow campers.
  • Storage Buckets: our stuff sacks clip inside your tent to create handy storage buckets.


THE PERFECT ULTRALIGHT TENT FOR YOUR ADVENTURE

  • Ultralight tents under 1 kg: our Alto TR1 weighs 938 g.

ULTRALIGHT CAMPING WITH FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATIONS

You can configure our ultralight tents exactly the way you need them, depending on the weather and activity. For example, you can set the Telos tents to hangout mode. This quickly turns your sleeping space into a semi-open shelter perfect for cooking, socialising, and staying undercover.

All our tents can be pitched in classic mode. However, it is also possible to use only the outer or the inner tent. Alternatively, you can pitch the outer tent only partially and admire the starry sky from your sleeping spot. A dry set-up is also possible. First, you pitch the outer tent and then you hang up the inner tent in the dry inner area.
