For the ultimate 2-3 person tent, we recommend the DD Hammocks Superlight Pyramid Tent - Family Size. This tent weighs in at only 750g and only needs a single hiking pole and ground pegs to pitch. Waterproof to 3000m, this tent is ideal for all weather conditions. Pair it with the DD Superlight Pyramid Mesh Tent for a bug-free zone.

FAQs

Is 2kg Too Heavy for a Tent?

2kg isn't too heavy for a tent, especially if you're hiking, backpacking, or bikepacking. With that being said, 2kg is the upper limit of lightweight tents. Anything over 2kg is likely to be too heavy for campers who are hiking long distances, especially with the rest of your kit.

Should a Lightweight Tent Come With Poles?

Some lightweight tents come with classic tent poles that allow you to pitch them like any other tent. However, there are a few lightweight tents that don't come with any poles at all. These tents are designed to be pitched using one or two hiking poles. This helps you cut down on the kit you have to carry and makes your poles twice as useful. Always check whether you need hiking poles for your tent before venturing out.

Are Ultralightweight Tents Worth It?

Absolutely! Opting for a lightweight or ultralightweight tent is the perfect choice for campers who are hiking between camping spots or bikepackers who need to keep their kit light. Of course, light and ultralight tents aren't suitable for all weather conditions and can't be used in adverse weather, which should be taken into account when choosing a tent.

Can You Use a Tent Outer By Itself?

Yes, it's possible to use a tent outer by itself. Obviously, the weather conditions you're camping in will determine whether you'll be comfortable or not. The tent inner, especially mesh ones, can help keep your tent an insect-free zone which is ideal during summer months. For longer camping trips, we'd recommend taking the inner with you just in case.
