A trekking pole tent is the ultimate choice for lightweight backpackers, thru-hikers, and outdoor adventurers who prioritize minimal weight and compact gear. Unlike traditional tents with dedicated poles, trekking pole tents utilize your existing trekking poles as the primary support structure. This design reduces pack weight while maintaining a strong and stable shelter—perfect for exposed, windy terrain.
Not all trekking pole tents are built the same. Seek Outside’s high-performance designs ensure an easy setup while maintaining exceptional wind resistance. Our shelters, when properly staked, create a strong, stable structure that can withstand the toughest backcountry conditions.
Whether you're on an extended thru-hike or heading into unpredictable weather, our trekking pole tents offer adaptable shelter solutions.
Our tents feature a secure trekking pole pocket at the peak, ensuring optimal structure and tension. This reduces overall tent weight without compromising stability, making them ideal for long-distance hikes, backcountry hunting, and remote expeditions.
At Seek Outside, we design and manufacture trekking pole tents that are both lightweight and exceptionally durable. Our shelters are crafted to withstand harsh weather and rugged terrain without sacrificing strength.
Each tent is meticulously sewn in-house by expert craftsmen, reflecting our commitment to quality and performance. Whether you're tackling high-altitude trails or navigating unpredictable conditions, our tents are built for years of reliable use.
Our trekking pole tents feature cutting-edge innovations, such as:
✔ Patented zipperless doors – Lighter, stronger, and more durable than traditional tent zippers.
✔ Precision-engineered structure – Optimized for high wind resistance and stability.
✔ Lightweight, packable materials – Designed for serious adventurers who count every ounce.
