Product Description

Engineered for solo backpackers who want maximum livability per ounce, the Trek 1.5 is a 1.5-layer, 4-season shelter that blends space, stormworthiness, and low weight. Its footprint and height are optimized for common sleeping positions, so it feels roomier than typical 1P shelters. Materials are dialed: a 20D single-side silicone-coated ripstop nylon fly and a PU-coated 20D bathtub floor deliver 3000mm+ water protection, while a 15D breathable mesh inner boosts airflow. Vents and high-density inner fabrics help cut drafts and reduce condensation in shoulder seasons and winter. The structure integrates inner and outer to save weight versus classic double-wall tents, and it works with trekking poles for efficient setup and stability. If you are asking, “What is the best backpacking tent for solo hikers?” or “What is a reliable 4 season tent for winter camping?”, this shelter is built to answer both with comfort and confidence. Grab yours and go farther.
