The t1 ultra is an exceptionally lightweight two-person tunnel tent that is ideal for long backpacking trips where the weight of every item has to be kept to a minimum. Despite its modest exterior, the t1 ultra is surprisingly spacious and easily accommodates two 190cm adults and equipment. To achieve its low packed weight, it uses the strongest and most durable ultralight fabrics available, making it a reliable shelter in remote areas. It is a four-season tent suitable for most climates and regions, although in extreme conditions secure pitching and anchoring are obviously imperative. The porch area is generous, but those wanting more storage or cooking space can choose the extended vestibule version – click here for the t1 ultra xt.
