Fly Creek UL1 Tent

For solo backpackers who count every ounce, the Fly Creek UL1 is our top pick when weight is the priority. Its ultralight construction keeps you under the pound-and-a-half mark without sacrificing weather protection, so you can push deeper into the backcountry without feeling it on your back.

• Sub-1.5 lb total weight makes it one of the lightest freestanding solo shelters on the market
• Full-coverage rainfly with DAC poles provides reliable weather protection in variable conditions
• Single-wall hub design pitches fast — critical when weather moves in or you're racing daylight
• Best for solo fastpacking, thru-hiking, and any trip where pack weight determines how far you go
• Asphalt/Gray Ridge colorway offers low-profile visibility for backcountry and stealth camping
