About The Product

Alto one and two-person is a semi-freestanding tent perfect for weight-conscious backpackers who still want a high degree of liveability in their shelter. The revolutionary Tension Ridge architecture of the Alto allows for taller oversized doors and vertical walls that create an unrivalled amount of space. Apex Vents positioned at the highest point of the tent effectively expel moist air and minimize condensation, and the variable rainfly can be rolled back on both sides for stargazing, then deployed quickly from inside the tent. ‘Alto’ is the Italian word for ‘high’. One night will prove that the Alto is a level above other ultralight tents

Product Features
  • Patent-pending Tension Ridge Architecture creates class-leading usable space, height and climate control
  • Oversized Apex Vent efficiently expels hot air to prevent condensation build-up
  • Baseline and Apex Vents work together to create superior airflow and are easily adjusted from inside the tent

Frequently Asked questions

Is a footprint necessary with this tent?

Our Alto tent has a very light floor that's waterproof to 1200mm. It can be used on wet grass and undergrowth without a footprint, however, a footprint helps protect the tent floor from damage through abrasive surfaces and sharp objects.

What does 'semi-freestanding' mean?

Rather than needing to secure a tent with poles attached to every corner, a semi-freestanding tent may only need one pole to hold up the structure and reinforced with stakes at the corners. Semi-freestanding tents are lighter weight and have smaller packed-volume.

Our Alto tents have a lighter poleset than the Telos, but they need to have the corners staked out at the head end.

What are the differences between regular and plus models?

The Alto Plus tent has a nylon inside fabric with unzippable vents rather than mesh to keep cold air from getting into the inner tent. The Plus model also features a more waterproof floor (2500mm against 1200mm).

Will a 79\" x 25\" sleeping pad fit inside the tent?

You can squeeze a large rectangular sleeping pad into the Alto TR 1 tent, but it was primarily designed for ultralight backpackers who use smaller pads.

Is a tent worth the extra weight over a bivy shelter?

We think so! In addition to shelter, this tent gives you room to sit up, excellent ventilation (so almost no condensation), and a vestibule to store wet gear.
