The Specialist Solo / The Specialist Duo

Sea to Summit introduces The Specialists – our state of the art ultra-light shelters designed for technical outdoor pursuits where weight and performance are key. Whether you are on a cycle touring trip, an extended unsupported trek or a paddling expedition - the new Sea to Summit Specialist shelters give you all the space and comfort of a tent, with the light-weight, compact size and performance better than many bivi's.

Weighing just 625gms for the Solo and 846gms for the Duo, the Specialists are the lightest fully enclosable shelters in their class. Each Specialist comes with a set of 2 poles and 6 pegs made out of 7075 alloy for the best strength to weight ratio. They can also be erected with a pair of trekking poles and natural anchors making it perfect for gram saving enthusiasts, achieving a minimum packed weight of 445gms and 633gms for the Solo and Duo respectively.

For the shell, we have used Pertex® Endurance, a 20 denier ultra lightweight waterproof breathable nylon fabric in conjunction with a 15 denier waterproof nylon for the walls, vestibules and the floor. Seam sealed throughout, the Specialists offers superior waterproof properties while also maintaining impressive breathability to manage condensation effectively. The ultra fine mesh panel doors keep insects away and allow for maximum ventilation. Optional lightweight ground sheets made from Tyvek are also available for added floor protection.
