These are what I believe to be the best trekking pole tents out there. Trekking pole tents are ultralight backpacking tents that require the use of trekking poles to erect them. These lightweight backpacking tents have the best balance between cost vs weight vs weather resistance.
In this backpacking gear review I am using the following wild camping tents. The Durston X-Mid 1 Solid, the 3F UL Gear Lanshan 2 4 season tent and the Tarptent Stratospire 1 with the solid inner.
I genuinely rate all these trekking pole tents. I personally prefer the Tarptent as it suits my size and use better than the others. However, it does have the largest pack size. I missed the clip showing vents are the pitchloc ends too so this is the most vented tent.
The specs are as follows:
Ultralight backpacking gear tent weights and prices:
Durston X-Mid - 905 grams and approx £350
3F UL Gear Lanshan 2 - 1150 grams and approx £150
Tarptent Stratospire 1 - 1031 grams and approx £350
Lightweight backpacking gear tent fabrics:
X- Mid - Sil Poly 20D fly, 15d inner and 20d floor with a HH of 3500mm
Lanshan 2 - Sil Nylon 15d fly, 15d inner and 20d floor with a HH of 5000mm
Stratospire - Sil Poly (for 2024) 20d fly, 10d inner and 30d floor with a HH of 3000mm
