One pound, one pole, infinite possibilities. Single wall, single pole, and made with Dyneema®, it packs to 14 in (36 cm) and is perfect for any minimalist adventure including thru-hiking, bikepacking, packrafting, and backpacking.

The patented Aeon Li features two fundamental design improvements over half-pyramid style shelters. First, the vertical back wall of the tent has a set of Tarptent’s PitchLoc™ foldable corners to increase the interior volume and storm strength of the tent while maintaining a minimal footprint. Second, the PitchLoc™ corners are implemented in combination with a structural awning to increase head/shoulder room and create static equilibrium so that both front doors can be completely rolled back without the need for a forward guyline.

AEON LI FAQs

Is the Aeon Li fully waterproof?
Yes, it is fully seam-taped and fully waterproof. Dyneema® has a hydrostatic pressure rating of over 8,000 mm.

Which Dyneema fabric weights do you use?
The fly weight is 0.51 oz / yd 2
The floor weight is 1 oz / yd 2

Do I need a trekking pole for general use?
A trekking poles is preferred but a 4.2 oz / 119 g pole is available.

Can I stuff the Aeon Li to make it smaller?
You can easily remove the 5 carbon fiber struts and aluminum cross pole but we highly recommend rolling or folding, not stuffing, to extend the fabric lifespan.

What does my purchase include?
The Aeon Li tent body, a stuff sack, aluminum stakes + stake bag and the necessary guyline cording. The Aeon Li is designed for trekking poles to provide structure to the shelter. There is an optional pole for non-trekking pole users that is available for purchase in the webstore.

Do I need a footprint?
Use of a groundsheet depends on the conditions you expect to encounter and your style of camping. The 1-oz Dyneema flooring is tough and does not usually require a separate groundsheet as long as the ground is clear of sharp objects. However, Dyneema, like all non-stretch fabrics, is subject to puncture under extreme pressure from sharp rocks or sticks. We sell optional Tyvek groundsheets which are very tough and great for sleeping out or taking a break, but generally heavier than you need for floor protection in most conditions. A groundsheet is recommended for use on very rocky ground and desert conditions.
