Ultralight tents

Under roughly three pounds on the trail. Almost all of them buy that weight with thin fabric, a single wall, or your trekking poles doing the job a pole set used to. The compromise is never hidden — it is just never on the front of the box.

17 designs from 10 brands. The cheapest is the Black Diamond Distance Tent at ~$250, the lightest is the Zpacks Plex Solo at 12.3 oz, and the roomiest per person is the Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo at 26.3 sq ft each.
