The Soulo is a four season tent that is ultralight and very strong. Perfect for solo trips in exposed or challenging conditions.
The Soulo is an intriguing combination of a number of design attributes:
- It has a roomy vestibule, and if you want more vestibule space, you can get it by disconnecting a part of the inner.
- It has a compact, fully free standing footprint
- Excellent for tough pitching conditions like knife-edge ridges, rocky ground, and wooden-floored sites found in some parks.
- Light enough for mobile journeys, where you move your camp every day,
- The dome structure imparts superb snow load handling ability, making it a fine choice for most base camp use.
The Soulo tent is ideal for almost any adventure, and is very popular with mountaineers, both recreational and professional, or regular users requiring a very lightweight tent, but not wanting to compromise on strength and stability. Tall users will love its length, and everyone will appreciate its remarkable overall roominess.
- Mountaineers – professional and recreational will appreciate its snow load handling
- Backcountry hunters and winter campers
- Bicycle and paddle tourers will choose it for its free standing simplicity and compact packed size

Features / Performance Attributes:
- The Soulo’s dome design is completely free standing, and the vestibule is included in its self-supporting structure. Its’ innovative short pole sleeve and clip system construction and linked inner and outer tents make for simple and quick set up. Its design allows for a very compact footprint while maintaining interior roominess.
- Ultralight Tent Materials – Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles – combined with the three poles crossing each other in three places – make for an exceptionally lightweight yet very stable tent with excellent snow-load handling capability.
- Pitching requires no pegs, but 12 peg points provide options for increasing stability: six loops, one at each pole end, and six double guy lines with double line runners, one along each pole line.
- The floor space and head room are quite spacious for one person and their gear.
- The single entrance/single vestibule configuration affords convenience, flexibility and comfort. The vestibule is parallel to the sleeping area, so access to gear stored there is very convenient – you can even get at it while lying in your sleeping bag!
- The Soulo’s ventilation system functions regardless of weather conditions:
- Highly breathable yet water repellent inner tent fabric
- One entire side of the inner tent door is a no-see-um mesh panel covered with an equal sized, zipper adjustable fabric panel.
- Zipper-adjustable vent in the outer tent above each door is made from highly air permeable, water resistant and snow-proof fabric, so air flows freely, even when the panel is zipped closed.
- A separate vent cover ensures that the weather stays on the outside, even if the vents are fully open.
