Tarptent ProTrail Li – Dyneema – 1-Person Tent

The ProTrail Li is Tarptent’s lightest and, at first glance, simplest Dyneema® one-person tent, but don’t be fooled. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a quick, low-profile shelter for the night. Thoughtful features like the storm flaps at the back (which can also give you a nice view) and the handy magnetic door closure make this a well-considered tent. The ProTrail pitches with trekking poles (or folding tent poles), a long one at the front and a short one at the back (poles not included). The elegant, sturdy ProTrail Li fits in any pack and gives you the freedom and security you want across a wide range of weather.

Supplied without poles, but with 4 stakes (6″ Easton® Nano aluminium stakes) and guylines, all in an ultralight Dyneema stuff sack.

Why the Tarptent ProTrail Li is such a nice tent

• Fits wide sleeping mats up to 76.2 cm and is designed with extra interior length for taller users. (Tarptent says that, in a pinch, two people can even sleep in here, but you’d have to like each other a LOT.)
• Integrated inner pocket and clips for organising and storing your kit.
• Magnetic closure for the outer door, plus a storm flap, for ease of use and security in windy conditions.
• Quick and easy to pitch with 4 stakes, up in under 1.5 minutes.
• The poles can be angled up or set straight up with optional adapters to widen the door openings.
• Included Apex storm guylines add stability in strong wind.
• Adjustable tent height gives full coverage to the ground when needed, or can be raised for better ventilation (recommended to minimise condensation).
• Fully openable and operable from inside, the storm flaps offer a view and ventilation when open and protection from the wind when closed.
• Single-wall design keeps weight minimal (but you can get more condensation, since there’s no inner to buffer it, worth keeping in mind).
• Small load lifters (a backpack term) keep your feet from pressing against the fly. Short, adjustable packed size fits horizontally in packs (no segmented poles).
