28 oz - 790 g Solo Backpacking Tent - Uses 2 45" Poles

With a floor that stretches over 8 feet long, you’ll have plenty of room to stretch out – no matter what your height.


The Skyscape Trekker is our most versatile 3-season tent. It has two massive side entrances, each with its own 8 sq. ft. vestibule. Both flies can be left open for sweeping 300° views. Or you can open and close the vestibules to find the perfect setup for your comfort and current weather conditions. The hybrid double wall design creates a bug-proof mesh interior and keeps that wet canopy at bay. And with an extra-long floor, you can get in a nice morning stretch or stow your gear.


*To completely repel water, shelters need to have sealer applied to the seams before use.


*Shelters including a seam sealing service may not ship immediately.

Description

The Skyscape Trekker is constructed with 100% Silicone coated Polyester material.  The Canopy is 20D material and the floor has been constructed with 40D material for additional strength now available in a dark, olive green colorway. The canopy stretch has been decreased along with the packed volume. The Skyscape Trekker now features longer 1.8 mm cord rear guy outs (not shown in photos) which provide improved interior height at the foot and increased ventilation at the rear. The updated Trekker now features the same cord and tension lock system on the vestibules. 

All Skyscape models utilize a dual fixed length 45" or 115 cm pole support structure to create an A-frame like structure. This can be achieved through the use of trekking poles or our collapsible  Aluminum and  Carbon Fiber Poles (Sold Separately). While both poles work well with the Scout, the Aluminum poles are lower in price, while our Carbon Fiber poles are half the weight.

The dual pole structure is slightly offset from the center of the tent. The offset yields extra headroom when lying down, reducing that claustrophobic feeling. Further, it allows the Skyscape to be extremely rigid when guyed out, creating a structure capable of riding out the worst storms.

The Skyscape employs a Hybrid Double Wall construction. Over 80% of the canopy is separated from you by a mesh wall, keeping that wet canopy at bay. The Hybrid Double Wall construction allows the vestibules to roll back. On warm summer nights, convert the Skyscape into a net tent; pesky bugs stay outside while you enjoy the view and breeze from inside.

The Skyscape's large side entry door lets you easily enter the tent or retrieve gear. With floor-length over 100 inches, the Skyscape accommodates the tallest hikers. You can carry a light tent and still sleep well.

Trekker Model

The canopy and floor of the Trekker are constructed of Silicone Polyester. This fabric has been the workhorse of fabrics used to build ultralight tents for the last decade. Its main properties are its strength, lightweight and that it’s impervious to mold or mildew.

The Trekker is great when you want to be light but don't want to break the bank.

Claire ★★★★★

The 28-ounce weight is a game-changer for me—it disappeared into my pack during a 40-mile carry. Setting up with those two 45-inch poles took me under five minutes the first try, and the 8-foot floor meant I could finally stretch out after a long day.

Hazel K. ★★★★★

I’m 6’3” and normally I’m curled up like a shrimp in most solo tents, but this one’s 8-foot floor actually lets me stretch out fully. At under 800 grams, it disappeared into my pack without me noticing, and the two-pole setup was a breeze to pitch after one clumsy practice run. Exactly what I wanted

Jason ★★★★★

Set the pole system up in my backyard first just to test it, and I was honestly shocked at how simple it was. The 28-ounce weight is a game changer, but that 8-foot floor is the real win—plenty of room even when I sprawl out.
