Designed for solo adventurers, this shelter doubles as a hammock or poncho. "No other market solution matches its portability, lightness, and versatility," says designer Bettina Wenigwieser.

In the ultralight tent category, the Flying Tent stands out, popping up in just 7 seconds with flexible arches. A built-in mosquito net keeps insects at bay for stargazing nights.

Built to Withstand Rain and Elements

Rain incoming? The Flying Tent seals completely. "We use premium fabrics with a 5,000 mm water column rating, plus vents to prevent condensation," explains Wenigwieser.

Switch to hammock mode in seconds using tree straps—perfect for steep mountain terrain. "In heavy rain, it's unbeatable: waterproof zipper keeps you dry elevated off the ground," she adds. In tent mode, it features a 5 cm raised waterproof groundsheet.

Hammock, Poncho, or Tent: Ultimate Versatility

After a long trek, relax in hammock mode. Fold the canopy into a pillow for extra comfort.

Need rain protection? Convert it to a poncho by removing the straps. Backpack storage is smartly integrated with pockets and foot-end space. "We're enhancing options for heavier loads," notes Wenigwieser.
