3.5 SEASON FREESTANDING SHELTER

Condensation Control

Condensation Control

Dual upper vents disperse moist air before condensation has a chance to form,  keeping your tent dry, warm and comfortable in cold and humid environments – without dumping too much heat in the process.

Freestanding Architecture

Freestanding Architecture

The freestanding external frame architecture provides a strong, stable structure that can be pitched on surfaces where tent pegs are not an option, like rock, snow, and sand.

Integrated Gear Storage

Integrated Gear Storage

The extra-large vestibule provides plenty of space to stow your gear under cover, while the included PackTub™ accessory keeps your pack safe and dry – and out of your tent.

All-In-One Fly & Inner Setup

All-In-One Fly & Inner Setup

Keep your sleeping area dry, no matter the weather. The outer fly and inner mesh can be pre-connected, allowing them to be set up at the same time for fast, efficient pitching in poor conditions.

Heavy-Duty Protection, Ultralight Materials

Weighing 1.435kg all up, Alton’s 1-Person Ultralight Tent is for hikers who are serious about real-world reliability – not just flashy specs that sound good online, but fail in the field. Engineered for wilderness conditions, every aspect of this tent has been strategically chosen to deliver maximum protection and durability while still being light and compact. Tough ripstop nylon, DAC Featherlite® poles, premium 10D no-see-um micromesh: it all adds up to give you an Ultralight 1-Person Tent that delivers seriously reliable shelter.

Space Maximising Design

Alton’s Ultralight Tent is intentionally designed to feel bigger and roomier than your standard 1-person tent without adding extra weight. The secret is our streamlined geometry: tapered at the ends, the tent expands to 100cm wide and 102cm high in the middle. That equals more usable floor space, easy entry/exit, and plenty of room for you to sit up. Plus, with built-in overhead storage cache and a large vestibule area for storing bulky items like your pack, cooking equipment, and boots, you don’t have to worry about your gear getting wet – or in your way.

External Frame Architecture

We developed our Ultralight Tent to have an external frame architecture that’s freestanding, ultralight, and highly weatherproof. The tri-pole exoskeleton geometry reinforces the shelter from the outside, making it more resistant to wind and light snow loading, while the fly-first setup means the inner tent stays dry during setup. In wet conditions, the RainGuard™ Door System, with an outward opening door and built-in rain gutter, minimises dripping inside the tent. For ultralight missions, leave the inner mesh at home for a versatile, single layer tent option that is still highly protective in inclement weather.

Tent Footprint Add-On

Unlock extra functionality and protection with the Footprint add-on. Purpose-built for use with the Ultralight 1P Tent, this Footprint acts as a barrier against mud, moisture, and sharp debris, keeping your tent floor in good condition for longer. Unlike standard designs, this Footprint extends out under the vestibule to increase the clean, dry and usable space for gear storage, while the integrated doormat gives you a practical spot to take off your boots, sit or kneel to organise gear, and step outside the tent without getting your socks dirty.
