A pyramid shelter designed to be pitched with your trekking poles rather than a pole set of its own, which is how ultralight hikers cut serious weight from a pack. The nylon is rated at 5000 mm, so this is not a fair-weather tarp, and the whole thing packs down to between five and eight litres. It takes two people, and nine stakes come in the bag.

Product Highlights
Your Poles Are the Frame
Leaving the pole set at home is the single biggest weight saving available to a hiker who already carries trekking poles. This pyramid is built around that idea.
Rated for Real Rain
5000 mm on nylon is a serious waterproof rating, well beyond the 2000 mm you find on ordinary camping tents.
Five to Eight Litres
That is a small corner of a rucksack rather than a bulky cylinder strapped to the outside. Pyramid shelters pack tight because there is no rigid structure in them.
Shape That Sheds Weather
A steep pyramid sheds wind and rain from any direction and gives good internal volume for the fabric used, which is why the design has survived so long.
Pegged Out Properly
Nine stakes come included, with separate bags for the stakes and the shelter, so the sharp bits stay away from the fabric.

Important Information
- Poles are not included and are not part of the design. You will need trekking poles, or a dedicated pole, to pitch this shelter. Check the required height with us before ordering if your poles are not adjustable.
- Pitched dimensions are not listed in our supplier data. Contact us and we will request them.
- A packed weight is not given, only the 5 to 8 litre packed volume. Get in touch if you need the weight before you commit.
- A groundsheet is not listed in the packing list. Most pyramid shelters are pitched over bare ground, so plan for a footprint or bivvy.
- Single-skin pyramid shelters collect condensation. Pitch with a gap at the hem for airflow where conditions allow.
- Do not use open flames, fuel-burning stoves, or heaters inside the shelter.
- Dry the fabric fully before storing it to protect the waterproof coating.
