The Ultralight backpacking world has some of the most loyal gear purists of any activity out there today. This is of course one writer’s opinion and is based on the many comments one finds after any gear review which might stray from the agreed-upon narrative in ultralight forums and Reddit threads. So for people just getting into backpacking, finding a review that doesn’t adhere to the strict unwritten guidelines of what’s important or not in an ultralight tent may seem daunting. I’m here to recommend a tent that, while it isn’t the lightest on the market, is a solid introduction to solo backpacking. The Sea to Summit Alto TR1 ($375) is a lightweight, easy-to-set-up, and versatile package that will help you visit some amazing locations.

If you spend a lot of time on the trails, then you know the difference good gear can make. After hiking boots or shoes, your hiking backpack is arguably your most important piece of gear. It holds your water, food, layers, and anything else you might need for a day on the trail. Although a cheap backpack will get the job done on short hikes, hiking backpacks have technical features that allow them to be lightweight, breathable, and supportive, making for a better hiking experience.
