Our lightest, most compact tent gets even lighter and more packable, perfect for moving fast in the backcountry or minimizing weight and space on bikepacking adventures. The intuitive design allows a fast setup when you're in a race with daylight or the weather isn’t playing nice. Its roomy interior gives you plenty of room to hang out, read, escape bugs and, of course, sleep soundly.
