1. Roomy Where It Matters
At 84" L × 39" W × 36" H, the Blazer gives a solo camper enough room to stretch out, change clothes, and sit up without carrying a bulky traditional tent.
2. Lightweight & Packable
The Blazer packs down to approximately 17" × 4" × 4", making it easy to fit into a bikepacking setup, backpack, or gear bag.
3. Breathable Mesh Doors
Two full-length mesh doors provide airflow while helping keep bugs outside. Open them up on warm nights for ventilation and a better view of the sky.
4. Rainfly for Changing Weather
The full-coverage rainfly adds another layer of protection when rain moves in. The rainfly is rated PU2500mm, with tape-sealed, double-stitched seams for added water resistance.
5. Quick Solo Setup
The two-pole aluminum frame can be set up by one person without tools. Once you get familiar with the system, setup is quick and straightforward.
6. Built for Real-World Adventures
From weekend bikepacking trips to lightweight backpacking adventures, the Blazer is made for campers who want to carry less without giving up the protection and privacy of a real shelter.
Your shelter doesn't need to cost a fortune to get the job done.
