MEC Alpha UL 1-Person Tent- 2Kilo Project

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.

• 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
