Brightwater 1p
Built from ideas created while hunting the south island of New Zealand chasing Chamois and Red Stag. We ran constantly into problems pitching shelters in the thick tussock. The Brightwater is our answer to a problem. One person shelters generally feel cramped and this shelter feels like a palace in comparison. We built an ultralight single person shelter that we truly want to sleep in, that fits real humans from small to large fitting users up to 6'6" which one person shelters do not do.
The Brightwater 1p is your go-to ultralight shelter, designed to pitch quickly with just one trekking pole. Its innovative design fits into tight spaces while offering tons of interior space—enough for users up to 6'6" tall plus gear. The optional nest adds flexibility for all conditions. A rear closable vent ensures solid airflow, and the 5 additional guy out points create tons of head room and shelter stability in the harshest conditions.
The Brightwater 1p features a LARGE vertical wall that creates loads of space inside the shelter, while maintaining a small footprint. To truly appreciate its interior space it has to be seen in person. Its large rear vent provides ample ventilation while its 5 additional guy out points make the Brightwater stand tall and strong in the most extreme of weather.
Built tough with our Custom 30D Cordura-spec 6.6 Ripstop Sil-nylon, the Brightwater balances durability and weight without compromise. Whether you're squeezing into a narrow backcountry site or need a stormworthy solo shelter, this tent delivers all of the advantages of a small one person shelter without the compromise.
Note: The Brightwater is a technically a two pole shelter. We do include the Brightwater's secondary stability pole which increases sleeping and headroom without expanding the footprint of the shelter. However, only one trekking pole is required to setup the shelter. The secondary stability pole is not needed for setup, but is recommended for inclement weather.. With the rear guy out cordage over 43feet long, the Secondary stability pole is not needed to get the tents proper shape.
