Ultra-Light. Weather-Resistant. Sustainably Engineered.
The Solar Photon 2 is one of the lightest 2-person tents available, designed for fast-paced backpacking and adventure racing. Weighing just 940g (max) and 852g (min) , it now features AiroCorner™ technology, which offers a more reliable groundsheet waterproofing solution and boosts its longevity. Boasting a PFC-free, recycled flysheet, inner and groundsheet for a more all-around sustainable performance.
Built for ultra-light backpackers and adventure racers, the Solar Photon 2 is a tent that refuses to compromise on strength despite its featherweight design. Weighing in at just 855g minimum weight, it is engineered for those who count every gram on long-distance expeditions.
For 2025, we’ve introduced AiroCorner™ technology, enhancing groundsheet structural stability for better performance in poor weather conditions. Its recycled, PFC-free flysheet and Triplex™ groundsheet reduce environmental impact while improving durability and UV resistance. The front-entry door and fly hoods at both ends provide excellent ventilation, ensuring comfort even on warm nights. The tent’s stable shape and DAC Green Anodised poles make it wind-resistant, perfect for unpredictable conditions.
