Description

Alto one-person is a semi-freestanding tent perfect for the weight-conscious solo backpacker who still wants a high degree of livability 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.

DESIGN DETAILS

Tension Ridge architecture delivers a better space-to-weight ratio than any tent in its class.

Powerhouse Collaboration

How it started

"When we decided to take on ultralight backpacking tents, I knew who I wanted to collaborate with—master tent maker Jake Lah.

Jake is the father of modern tent architecture, and his company DAC produces some of the best aluminum poles in the world.

Both of us are driven by producing something better than what’s already out there—and I think we’ve achieved that with our ultralight backpacking tents.

The Alto and Telos deliver exceptional height and space—and are loaded up with unexpected features like adjustable venting and our unique Hangout Mode. They are, quite possibly, the most livable ultralight backpacking tents out there."

-Roland Tyson, Founder & Head Designer at Sea to Summit

Frequently Asked questions

Will a 200 x 64 cm pad fit in this tent?

You can just squeeze a large rectangular pad into the Alto TR 1 (it was primarily designed for ultralight backpackers who generally use smaller pads).

Worth the weight difference over a bivy shelter?

We think so. The Alto gives you room to sit up, excellent ventilation (so almost no condensation) and a vestibule to store wet gear - all of which you won't have in a bivy shelter.

Do I need to use a footprint with this tent?

The Alto has a very light floor, waterproof to 1200mm. It can be used on wet grass/undergrowth without a footprint. However, a footprint will protect the floor from damage on abrasive surfaces.
