Live on the lighter side

Our top-rated lightweight backpacking tents are ideal for hikers and backpackers who want to hit the trail without adding extra weight to their pack. These tents are compact, durable, and easy to set up without sacrificing comfort or convenience; perfect for solo travelers or groups.

Litehouse 2P and 3P Tents

Lightweight doesn’t mean light on comfort. Perfect for ambitious backcountry adventures, the Litehouse strikes the perfect balance between livable space and ultralight design. This incredibly strong freestanding 2 door, 2 vestibule tent is constructed with lightweight 15D Nylon and hub-less pole set for an incredibly small pack size. Two vertical walls increase livability, while the tapered footprint gives you room where you need it. When it’s time to pack up camp, the burrito bag makes packing up a breeze.

Meteor Lite 3000 2P and 3P Tents

Take your home deeper into the wilderness with the Meteor Lite tent, a backpack-friendly update to our time-tested Meteor that shaves weight off your back with lighter, more premium materials. The strong, fully freestanding design touts 2 doors, 2 vestibules and near-vertical walls, with a footprint that allows you to spread out in every direction, giving plenty of room for you, your gear and your sense of freedom. A durable and waterproof bathtub floor provides the best foundation for all-weather camping, and an ultralight mesh body keeps air flowing all night long. Paired with the PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) coated rain fly that rolls back for extra ventilation and stargazing, there’s no stopping your quest for the ultimate campout.
