Trekking Pole Tents – Ultralight, Durable, and Built for the Backcountry
A trekking pole tent is the ultimate choice for lightweight backpackers, thru-hikers, and outdoor adventurers who prioritize minimal weight and compact gear. Unlike traditional tents with dedicated poles, trekking pole tents utilize your existing trekking poles as the primary support structure. This design reduces pack weight while maintaining a strong and stable shelter—perfect for exposed, windy terrain.
Why Choose Seek Outside Trekking Pole Tents?
Superior Stability & Performance
Not all trekking pole tents are built the same. Seek Outside’s high-performance designs ensure an easy setup while maintaining exceptional wind resistance. Our shelters, when properly staked, create a strong, stable structure that can withstand the toughest backcountry conditions.
Versatile Setup Options
- Use with a four-season inner for full protection, similar to the best mountaineering tents.
- Leave the inner at home and pitch it as a floorless ultralight tarp for even less weight.
Whether you're on an extended thru-hike or heading into unpredictable weather, our trekking pole tents offer adaptable shelter solutions.
Innovative Design for Ultralight Backpacking
Our tents feature a secure trekking pole pocket at the peak, ensuring optimal structure and tension. This reduces overall tent weight without compromising stability, making them ideal for long-distance hikes, backcountry hunting, and remote expeditions.
