Category: 1 Person Tents

The SplitWing is our most minimal shelter for people whose top priority is achieving the lowest weight possible without compromising weather coverage. Designed with thru-hikes and FKTs in mind, the SplitWing and its modular accessories are adaptable to the wide range of conditions that are likely to be encountered on a 4-month-plus adventure.

When used on its own, the SplitWing is palatial for one and cozy for two. A pair of hardcore UL hikers (or very close friends) will appreciate sharing a shelter that packs down to the size of a grapefruit and weighs less than two packs of ramen per person.

Violet ★★★★★

Pitched this with trekking poles and it handled a windy night above treeline without flapping much at all. The packed size is tiny enough that I forgot it was in my pack, which is exactly what I wanted for a fast and light trip. Weighs next to nothing for the coverage you get.

Violet ★★★★★

Sixteen ounces of peace of mind is how I’d sum this up, and the cut actually sheds wind better than my old tarp. Set it up on a rocky ledge with only six stakes and it stayed drum-tight through a gusty dusk. For solo miles where every gram counts, I’m not sure you can ask for more honest coverage.

Alexander S. ★★★★★

Took this out for a few rainy nights and the pitch held steady through some gusty wind, which honestly surprised me given how featherlight it is. The coverage feels way more secure than the sub-ounce design would suggest.
