Upgraded & Back｜NOVA Ultralight One-Person Tent
NOVA is our first ultralight solo tent, created specifically for long-distance backpackers. ⛺
Featuring a single-Y + dual apex pole structure, DAC NFL series poles, wind resistance up to Level 8 (lab tested), and a total packed weight of approx. 1.08 kg (Mini: 942 g). Beyond numbers on a scale, NOVA pursues lightweight performance through durable, reliable, and never excessive materials and hardware choices.
This is a solo tent truly designed for long-distance, fully loaded backpacking. 🏃🏽♂️
In its functional design, NOVA focuses on two real-world backpacking scenarios: usable interior space for in-tent cooking, and effective condensation control in high-humidity environments. 🚩
NOVA features a relatively independent vestibule. It can be pitched with trekking poles to create a sheltered cooking area protected from wind and rain; in heavy condensation conditions, about one-third of the vestibule can be rolled up to improve airflow 💨 and reduce moisture drip-back.
The goal of this upgrade is clear: to make NOVA more stable and more composed in real outdoor conditions.
What’s new:
1｜New color
Building on the original cool grey, we introduce Longsong Green—the green you see when waking up in a spring forest: a blend of sunrise light, morning mist, and moisture-rich vegetation.
2｜Vestibule load-bearing loop
The vestibule faces the largest wind exposure. A new mid-panel stake-out loop has been added to distribute stress more evenly in strong winds or complex terrain, bringing extra confidence.
3｜Refined fly geometry
The flysheet pattern has been re-engineered to better maintain its structure, even after rain or moisture, reducing sag and preserving interior space.
4｜Zippers & storage
All zippers are upgraded to YKK for smoother, more reliable operation in cold weather and frequent use. Pocket sizing has been refined for easier packing and faster access.

🏜️If you’re looking for a solo tent built for backpacking—one that’s truly light without sacrificing stability or durability, and remains dependable through wind, rain, condensation, and consecutive days of use—then NOVA is the right choice. 💯
