No one likes to be bogged down. Bikers, campers, backpackers and kayakers certainly know the challenge of packing light. Ideally, you want your gear light and compact. That’s what makes the Specialist shelters by Sea to Summit such a godsend.
These outdoor shelters – made for either one (the Solo) or two (the Duo) people – weigh less than two pounds (that’s not a typo – two (2) pounds!). The Solo weighs only 22 ounces, while the Duo clocks in at a mere 29 ounces.
As an added bonus, the Specialist shelters pack up into a compact carrying case that’s not much bigger than the size of a water bottle.
The shelter itself is made of an ultra lightweight waterproof breathable nylon fabric in conjunction with a 15 denier waterproof nylon for the walls, vestibules and the floor. Ultra-fine mesh panel doors keep insects away and allow for maximum ventilation.
The Specialist outdoor shelter is perfect for those who love the ultralight outdoor experience.
Cost of Sea to Summit Specialist shelters run from about $400-500.
