Finding a camping backpacking tent that is built to withstand the climate and environment of an advanced wilderness excursion can be tricky -- especially when looking for a tent that is as portable and light as it is durable. The SlingFin 2Lite Tent is an ideal combination of both with a sleek, simple and lightweight design that is built for withstanding harsh conditions.

The SlingFin 2Lite Tent design is specifically made to be a three season tent meaning it can be used in virtually any climate or weather. In addition to the tent being able to accommodate two individuals, the tent can be compressed into a two pound pouch making it ideal to bring on long journeys. Despite it's small size, the tent features walls of 28-sqft making it a luxurious place to camp out in under the stars.
