OVERVIEW:
Brightwater 1p
Built from ideas created while hunting the south island of New Zealand chasing Chamois and Red Stag. We ran constantly into problems pitching shelters in the thick tussock. The Brightwater is our answer to a problem. One person shelters generally feel cramped and this shelter feels like a palace in comparison. We built an ultralight single person shelter that we truly want to sleep in, that fits real humans from small to large fitting users up to 6'6" which one person shelters do not do.
The Brightwater 1p is your go-to ultralight shelter, designed to pitch quickly with just one trekking pole. Its innovative design fits into tight spaces while offering tons of interior space—enough for users up to 6'6" tall plus gear. The optional nest adds flexibility for all conditions. A rear closable vent ensures solid airflow, and the 5 additional guy out points create tons of head room and shelter stability in the harshest conditions.
The Brightwater 1p features a LARGE vertical wall that creates loads of space inside the shelter, while maintaining a small footprint. To truly appreciate its interior space it has to be seen in person. Its large rear vent provides ample ventilation while its 5 additional guy out points make the Brightwater stand tall and strong in the most extreme of weather.
Built tough with our Custom 30D Cordura-spec 6.6 Ripstop Sil-nylon, the Brightwater balances durability and weight without compromise. Whether you're squeezing into a narrow backcountry site or need a stormworthy solo shelter, this tent delivers all of the advantages of a small one person shelter without the compromise.
Note: The Brightwater is a technically a two pole shelter. We do include the Brightwater's secondary stability pole which increases sleeping and headroom without expanding the footprint of the shelter. However, only one trekking pole is required to setup the shelter. The secondary stability pole is not needed for setup, but is recommended for inclement weather.. With the rear guy out cordage over 43feet long, the Secondary stability pole is not needed to get the tents proper shape.

SEAM SEALING:
For best results we recommend seam sealing your tent. You can do it at home or have us do it for you (if we seal the shelter it will be shipped without extra tubes of sealant):
- We send our shelters with enough seam sealer to seal the entire shelter.
- Pitch the shelter normally and seal the outside seams.
- The easy way to seal is to run a thin bead of sealant along the seam, then press it in with a finger, wiping the excess on a paper towel.
- Alternatively, you can use an acid brush from a hardware store to spread the sealant.

FAQ:
Q. What are the differences in the Silex and Brightwater?A. The Silex has a larger footprint and can be run with a stove, is pitched with two trekking poles, has more sitting room, and features our Patented Zipperless door design.
The Brightwater has a much smaller footprint, can not be run with a stove, and pitches with one trekking pole. The Brightwater will do better in high wind scenarios than the Silex.
Q: What if I want a floor?
A: Our ground sheet is perfectly sized to cover the sleeping area of this shelter.
Q: Does the Brightwater work for winter camping?
A: No. This tent is not compatible with a stove and a stove jack cannot be added. This saves weight and makes it a perfect 3 season tent.
Q: Is condensation a problem?
A: With any waterproof fabric, you lose breathability. The Brightwater is designed to be able to pitch it off the ground for better airflow and also comes standard with an adjustable vent flap. Learn more about managing condensation here
