Giling 1 UL
- Ultralight 15D nylon construction
- Integrated quick-pitch setup
- Solo backpacking design
The Giling UL is a four-season solo backpacking tent designed for hikers who want minimal pack weight without giving up year-round protection. Its 15D silicone-coated nylon flysheet keeps the weight low, while the integrated quick-pitch system connects the inner tent and fly as one unit for fast setup. Two doors and two vestibules give you flexible access and separate gear storage on both sides.
Best for
Weight-conscious solo hikers and fastpackers who cover long distances in variable or cold conditions and need a compact, quick-pitching four-season shelter.
Not ideal for
Campers in sustained extreme conditions where the higher waterproof rating of the Giling PRO (PU3000mm+) would be more appropriate.
Additional features
- 6-window ventilation system (top, vestibule, and base vents) reduces condensation
- Semi-solid inner canopy improves warmth retention and blocks drafts
- Rear gear storage vestibule in addition to the main front vestibule
- Reflective guylines included for low-light visibility
