Looking for a two-person, pitch-anywhere freestanding tent that’s light enough to throw on the bike? The updated Meteor Lite 2 drops a whopping 10oz off the original to come in at just 3lb 5oz (1.5kg) without giving up space or features.Advertisements
It uses a two-door design with a vestibule off either side when you stake down the fly. The clever attachment points even allow you to partially roll the fly down to give you a view without completely uncovering the tent.

- Fully freestanding for versatile pitch and ease of use
- Full coverage fly with rollback stargazer feature for ventilation and night sky views
- 2-door 2-vestibule design for ease of use and gear storage
