Ultra light weight shelter...

Perfect for the ultra light weight backpacker that wants a comfortable shelter

• Ultra light weight shelter
• Fast and easy setup/take down with only 3 stakes/pegs required
• Large and roomy interior with high flat ceiling
• No-see-um mesh netting for bug protection and ventilation
• Top vent for chimney effect to exhaust hot air and condensation
• Large side door for easy entry and exit
• Large head end vestibule that is accessible from inside shelter that has more than enough room for pack, footwear, and more!
• Guy line loops at peak that can be used to hang roof from a tree instead of using pole(s) to hold up the roof
• Designed to use 2 adjustable length hiking poles (not included)
• X-pol™ structure is extremely strong using hiking poles… strong enough to be 4-season rated
• Made with highest quality materials, e.g. fabric, zippers, window material, grommets, webbing, etc.
• Color coded cord, e.g. reflective gold color zipper pulls, black color guy outs, reflective gold color guy lines
• Comes seam sealed where necessary so it is ready to go out-of-the-box
• Choose light weight aluminum or ultra light weight composite poles
• Optional lightweight aluminum or an ultra light DuraLite™ composite head end hoop pole is available for those that do not use hiking poles
• Available in different weight fabrics – light weight, very light weight, and ultra light weight fabric
• Ready to go out of the box... it is seam sealed where necessary at the factory before being shipped.

• Note: The Wisp 1P has two vestibules, but only the large one at the head end has zipper access

• Note: Recommended for low humidity areas, such as USA's southwest and Rocky Mountain areas, and not recommended for high humidity areas

• Footprint or ShelterSaversTM ground sheet (sold separately) extends your shelter life by protecting it from abrasive wear and tear. Footprint made with the same silnylon fabric as the floor so using this doubles the floor thickness. ShelterSaversTM made with ultra light weight non-woven fabric. It is much easier and less expensive to replace a worn out Footprint or ground sheet than the shelter floor - 15% discount with shelter purchase.

• Stakes/pegs (sold separately) - 15% discount with shelter purchase

• Guy line kits (sold separately) 4 Lite-n-MityTM reflective nylon/spectra guy lines and 4 stakes/pegs for creating a more storm worthy structure - 15% discount with shelter purchase
