Best Tents for Bikepacking

Bikepacking is an adventure unlike no other. Combining the freedom of wild camping with the quick pace, added range and thrill of navigating it all on a bike. Bikepacking is certainly one for adventure seekers.

Simply put, bikepacking is a multi-day adventure on your bike. Carrying only the necessities, bikepacking relies on your ability to pack light, navigating dirt roads, gravel paths, fields and other terrain and wild camping in-between. This type of adventure requires keeping your kit to an absolute minimum so you can cover large distances without being weighed down. This experience allows you to fully immerse yourself in both the riding and dramatic scenery, letting you explore new places and immersing yourself in nature.

When packing your panniers, one of the most important items will be your shelter. Luckily, we have you covered. Literally. As the leaders of lightweight tech, we have tents and shelters guaranteed to shed the grams off your pack, helping you keep weight down on your journey.
