Ultra-Lightweight Tents

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sea to Summit's Alto TR1 Weighs Only Two Pounds Without Add-Ons

— June 11, 2022 — Lifestyle
'Sea to Summit' released the 'Alto TR1,' the first-ever ultra-lightweight tent for the brand. This tent weighs only 938 grams, or approximately two pounds when it is carried without accessories. This makes it incredibly easy to bring in a camping pack or rucksack, even when hiking.

For campers with more detailed needs, Sea to Summit offers add-ons such as room dividers, mesh walls and windows, or carrying bags. Each of these accessories add a small amount of weight to the total package, so campers are encouraged to only order what they need to bring with them.

The Alto TR1 has a one-way ventilation system that keeps the air inside the tent fresh and breathable without letting pests such as bugs within the walls of the tent. It is important to note that the ultra-lightweight nature of the Alto TR1 results in it not being resistant to all climates, however, Sea to Summit offers heavier alternatives for extreme climates.
