Stripped down to the essentials for adventures that demand speed, precision, and total efficiency on or off the trail. The Alpha UL 1-Person is ultralight at its core, from the 15-denier single-wall design to its carbon fibre poles and superlight pegs. Boost your efficiency further by pitching it with a trekking pole, leaving the main pole behind to save both weight and space. Full perimeter ground ventilation and an oversized peak vent move airflow away from the sleeping area, reducing condensation, while the kick-out offers a little extra room to stretch out. Steep walls maximize vertical space, providing enough headroom so you can sit up and prep gear without the awkward tent yoga.

  • Hybrid single-wall design with double-wall vestibule controls condensation without adding extra weight
  • 15-denier silicone-coated nylon ripstop fly is super lightweight and resist tears
  • No-see-um mesh canopy keeps pesky bugs out while letting plenty of air flow through
  • Bathtub floor keeps water out and gear safe from damp ground
  • Full perimeter ground ventilation and oversized peak vent direct airflow to manage condensation
  • Storm flap with magnet closure adds extra protection to keep wind and rain out when the weather turns
  • Hanging loop makes it easy to store or dry your gear
  • Included 3-section carbon fibre tent pole integrates into stated weight so there are no hidden components
  • Change out the included pole for a hiking pole to shed another 95 grams (hiking pole not included)
  • Designated pole pockets for intuitive and secure pitching
  • Interior pocket keeps small essentials organized and within easy reach
  • Kick-out towards the head end gives you extra space to move and relax
  • Included guylines let you fine-tune pitch to handle variable terrain or wind
  • Includes 7 ultralight carbon fibre pegs and aluminum J-stakes to provide options for soft alpine or hard-packed ground
  • Stuff sack with peg pocket included
  • A conversation that turned into a challenge: Could we create an ultralight camping system weighing about 2 kilos without sacrificing comfort or performance? The 2Kilo Project pairs the Alpha UL 1-Person Tent, Bravo 6 Sleeping Pad, Charlie 32L UL Backpack, and Delta Pivot -2 Sleeping Bag to provide warmth, comfort, and packability for ultralight adventures
