Category: 2 Person Tents

This Alpinist2 Tent from Samaya is a light and fast 2-person 4-season mountaineering tent designed for technical ascents.  This is a single wall style tent, and so the tent body is also the rainfly and there is no separate rainfly to drape over the top.  The amount of space in the tent is made to be tight for 2 people and roomy for one person with gear.  The tent fabric is best suited for cold and dry high altitude environments.  Features include 3-layer Nanovent® fabric, internal poles with DAC Featherlite NFL 8.7mm proprietary aluminum alloy poles, a single zippered door on one end that zips down towards the floor of the tent, integrated mosquito net, through ventilation, adjustable Dyneema® core reflective guylines, and numerous low and high-level guy-out points for high wind security and stability.  This is a highly specialized lightweight mountaineering tent.

Joshua F. ★★★★★

Pitched this on a exposed col and it barely moved all night, which says a lot for a single wall tent. The fact that the body doubles as the rainfly means way less faffing when you're already cold. Packed size is tiny too, fit right in my 30L.

Andrew ★★★★★

The single-wall design makes setup brutally simple—no separate rainfly to wrestle with at 2am. I took it on a four-day traverse and was shocked how well it shed wind for something this light. Condensation was manageable, which I didn't expect from a one-layer tent.

James J. ★★★★★

Pitched it in a steady wind above 4,500m and the whole setup felt rock solid for how little it weighs. The single-wall construction kept the interior dry through a sleet squall, and I was surprised how much room two of us had for gear.
