2Lite – 2-person Tent

Lightweight two-person tent for backpacking and bikepacking tours

The 2Lite from SlingFin is a lightweight, three-season backpacking tent. It’s made for backpackers, so it has a small pack size but still provides protection against the elements. It provides so much space and storage that up to two people can sit comfortably upright inside. It’s designed to withstand harsh backpacking conditions without sacrificing the weight and comfort of a standard backpacking tent. The ergonomic footprint shape offers more space at the torso and elbows, so it feels roomier than its 28 square feet. Short 12” pole segments come standard and allow the 2Lite to fit almost anywhere, making it ideal for bikepacking or any other discipline where pack size is an important consideration.

The 2Lite also comes with two lightweight aluminium poles that can be used to tension the top tent to create two large, sheltered vestibules where you can relax and store your luggage overnight. As for the inner tent, it’s made of fine mesh to keep mosquitoes and other insects out. All in all, the SlingFin 2Lite is a well-thought-out two-person tent made of durable materials that has a small pack size. It’s a must-have for trekking tours from spring to autumn.
