Lightweight 1 Person Backpacking Tent for NZ Adventures
Escape the crowds and set up camp wherever the trail takes you with the Marmot Tungsten Ultralight Solo Tent. Designed for solo hikers, bikepackers, trampers, and lightweight backpackers, this premium 1-person tent balances low pack weight with impressive interior comfort and weather protection.
Built with Marmot’s pre-bent pole architecture, the Tungsten Ultralight creates near-vertical walls for increased headroom and a noticeably roomier sleeping area compared to traditional solo tents. The durable ripstop fabrics, full-coverage fly, and seam-taped floor provide reliable three-season protection for New Zealand conditions, while the compact packed size keeps your load light on long missions into the backcountry.
