On extensive hiking or cycling tours, a tent is your ideal companion. It also offers you maximum freedom on all other outdoor adventures. This way, you can sleep wherever and whenever you want.
However, your portable home should be as handy and easy to transport as possible. That's why more and more people tend to buy a lightweight tent. But what should you consider and what advantages do lightweight tents offer?
A lightweight camping tent is mainly characterized by its low weight and small packed size. Especially on hikes as well as bike and motorcycle tours, every gram counts. Our Cloud Up 1-person tent weighs just 1.34 kg, including the groundsheet that protects you and your sleeping area from ground cold and moisture.
Lightweight trekking tents are therefore an excellent alternative to conventional tents. They are practical and at the same time offer maximum protection and comfort.
Before purchasing a lightweight camping tent, you should consider the following factors:
First, consider how many people you want to accommodate in it. If you sleep alone, an ultralight tent for one person is sufficient. However, if you are traveling with others or have an increased need for space, you should choose a larger model.
Always keep in mind that the actual sleeping area is defined by the inner tent. The dimensions differ from the outer dimensions.
The material is also an important selection criterion. Conventional ultralight tents usually have a so-called PU coating. However, the heat treatment affects the material structure and robustness.
Therefore, we rely 100% on ripstop silicone nylon. Our lightweight tents are tear-resistant, robust, and offer optimal weather and UV protection due to the silicone coating.
Our inner tents are made of breathable nylon with a ventilation net. This allows moisture from breath to escape. Additionally, you are optimally protected from mosquitoes and other insects. At the same time, the inner tent made of high-quality material offers you
If you want to buy a lightweight tent, you should decide on the appropriate shape in advance. In our range, you will find tunnel tents and dome tents.
If you want to use your lightweight tent for hiking or on a cycling tour, the difficulty level of setup and dismantling is, of course, also crucial.
Tunnel tents are easier to set up and take down than dome tents due to their simple construction. They contain fewer tent poles and can be brought into shape more quickly thanks to the unique rope system.
Both trekking tents are anchored to the ground with the supplied tent pegs and fixed with the ropes.
To ensure your ultralight tent doesn't leave you standing in the rain, you should definitely pay attention to the specified water column. This value provides information about how much water can affect the fabric before moisture penetrates.
To offer you optimal protection and sleeping comfort, all our models have the highest water column in this area. It is: 4000 mm.
To enjoy your ultralight tent for a long time, you should remove any dirt after use to maintain waterproofness and UV protection.
For an ultralight tent, quality is crucial.
