Polestar is our lightest solo shelter — a sub-1kg, twin-skin trekking pole tent designed to let you go further with less. Whether you’re thru-hiking the South Downs Way, fastpacking Cape Wrath, or stashing emergency shelter in the Lakes, it delivers reliable 3-season protection with zero weight penalty.

Ultralight Simplicity for Fast and Far Adventures

• Weighs just 980g and packs to the size of a flask

• Pitches using your trekking poles — no tent pole weight

• Inner and outer pitch together for fast, dry set-up

• Compact, stable, and stormworthy with extra porch space

Lightweight Shelter That Punches Above Its Weight

Polestar replaces traditional poles with the gear you’re already carrying — trekking or running poles — trimming bulk without compromising on shelter. Its stable crossed-pole architecture and reinforced footbox create usable headroom and sleeping space for solo hikers, with a side entry and porch that makes camp life easier.

It pitches outer-first to keep the inner dry in wet weather, and can be set up outer-only for the lightest footprint possible. With a robust 20D ripstop polyester fly and 3,000mm HH waterproofing on both groundsheet and fly, it’s built to shrug off wind and rain. A mesh inner, vented footbox, and adjustable air flow all help manage condensation across varied conditions.

Trusted on the Toughest Trails

From Dartmoor wild camps to long-distance routes like the West Highland Way, users trust Polestar for its packability, strength, and value:

“Backpacker’s dream. Stood up to wind and rain, multiple pitching options, and tiny packed size.” — Dave
“Still standing after horrific winter storms. I recommend this product.” — Nadia
“Used in 50mph gusts and heavy rain — performed well.” — Jay Johnson

Polestar has also been recognised by Runner’s World as Best Value for its performance-to-price ratio, especially for ultralight running adventures.

Lighter on You, Lower on Impact

Polestar’s simplicity means fewer materials and no wasted components. And like all our tents, it’s completely free from PFCs — harmful chemicals that persist in the environment. It’s backed by our 3-year Alpine Bond and our UK-based repair support to extend its life even further.
