Key Features

• Wind-stable two-pole tunnel design
• Packs down to a compact size for easy transport
• Inner tent can be pitched separately as an insect shelter
• Made partly from recycled materials and manufactured without PFCs

Additional Information and Intended Use

Gossamer is designed for solo adventurers who value lightweight equipment, practicality, and reliable protection in changing weather conditions. Thanks to its low weight, the tent is particularly well suited for long-distance hiking, bikepacking, and other activities where minimizing gear weight is important. The compact packed size allows the tent to fit easily into a backpack or bike pannier.

Its classic tunnel design and two-pole structure, combined with a carefully engineered anchoring system, provide excellent stability even in windy conditions. On warm summer nights, the inner tent can be pitched on its own, with the breathable mesh construction offering effective protection from mosquitoes and other insects while allowing excellent airflow. The vestibule located next to the entrance provides practical storage space for equipment and footwear.

The use of partly recycled materials and PFC-free manufacturing makes the Gossamer tent a responsible choice for active outdoor adventures.
