Overview
The Pivot Solo Tent is the ultimate ultralight shelter for solo adventurers who refuse to compromise on space, durability, or features. The Pivot's unique design maximizes head and foot room by pivoting a second trekking pole to the rear corner creating a spacious interior that fits a wide, long sleeping pad with room left over for gear.
