3F UL GEAR Lanshan 1 Ultralight 3/4 Season Tent (2021 Version)

This tent is widely regarded as the best value one person tent in the backpacking industry right now - plain and simple.

Weighing in at a featherlight 1.67lbs (760g) it is literally half the weight of many of its competitors, if not even less!

All of that said, this is still an extremely durable tent as well - and has been trail tested by thousands of hardcore backpackers and thru-hikers all around the world for years. 

This is also a great tent for TALL people! It is 90 inches long, which is quite good for a small backpacking tent!

This is a double walled tent, which means that the fly and the inner can be set up completely separately. This is great for setting up the tent in the rain, because you can put the fly up first, and then attach the inner mesh section so that it doesn't get wet! It also keeps any tent condensation (from your breath) from dripping on you in the morning after a cold night, which is very nice!

It also means that on a nice night you can set up the tent without the rain fly and enjoy the clean air and nice sky views! Not a common feature in a tent of this weight. 

Many tents in this weight range are what is called "single walled," which is essentially when the rain fly is stitched directly to the mesh, so you can touch it while sitting inside your tent. The advantage of this is that it can be slightly lighter, however you miss out on all the advantages listed above - and this tent manages to be just as light WHILE being double walled!

Is a trekking pole tent right for you?

This is a trekking pole tent, which means it has none of its own tent poles. You use two trekking poles to prop up the corners, and then simply stake down the edges. The benefit of this is that you no longer have to carry big heavy tent poles that are easily broken, and the setup is an absolute breeze! Now you may be thinking that this sounds unstable, or unreliable if ground conditions aren't ideal, but trust me - these tents are used by people who spend 6 months at a time living in them in every adverse condition imaginable, and they are still able to set them up pretty much anywhere - which means that you can too! Have some faith in yourself!

What if I don't like hiking with trekking poles?

That is perfectly fine! We actually sell some extremely lightweight yet sturdy carbon fiber tent poles for this exact tent for a very reasonable price, and they'll only add a couple ounces to your tent, keeping it well under 2lbs! Still lighter than most comparable tents! We even have some insanely light carbon fiber trekking poles that you can simply carry on your backpack, in case you decide you'd rather carry something more multi-functional than a carbon fiber rod!

4 Season Variant: This version weighs about 15g more due to a thicker mesh material on the inner liner. 

2021 version: This is a two year old version of this tent that I decided to list here to offer you guys a fantastic money saving alternative - see the Lanshan 1 PRO on our site for the updated version. However, this older version is still time tested and PHENOMENAL quality, the new one is just the slightest big lighter! 

Note: This tent may ship to you with the name "Flame's Creed" printed on it instead of 3F UL Gear - this is simply a re-branded version of the same tent for different markets. No need to worry, the tents are identical! 

Shipping Options: You may be wondering why there are multiple countries this tent ships from! This is to optimize your shipping times depending on where you live in the world - so I'd recommend picking the country closest to you for the fastest shipping times! I simply haven't figured out how to automate this yet, so for now we'll do it this way - thank you for understanding!
