Murphy Ultralight Tents has created one of the lightest freestanding tents on the market. It is a fully enclosed dome tent made with ultralight waterproof fabric. This vented single-wall hybrid tent utilizes Easton Mountaineering 3.9 Custom Carbon Fiber Tent Poles that make for a quick and easy setup, and four large mesh vents to reduce condensation. The tent is extremely lightweight and ideal for 3-season backpacking for one or two people.
* Listed weight includes tent, rain fly, poles, and stuff sacks. To show a fair comparison to other tents, weight does NOT include stakes. While doing your research, keep in mind that some tents require 8 to 10 stakes to pitch, which most don't include in their claimed weight. Murphy Ultralight Tents don't require ANY stakes, though to improve ventilation and prevent your tent from becoming a really expensive kite, we strongly recommend using at least 2 of the 4 included stakes.

- Ultralight Materials. The walls of the Blue, White and Olive Green Carbon Dome Tents are made from .51oz per yard ultralight material. Other color options including Camouflage, Orange (coming soon) and Spruce Green are available in slightly heavier materials. The ultralight material we use is 15 times stronger than steel for its weight and waterproof.
- Waterproof Zippered Door. One large door allows for easy entry with 2 waterproof zippers for protection in bad weather. Each zipper also has a reflective pull cord for easy use at night.
- Easy Setup! Don't waste time messing around with a bunch of stakes and guy lines. Simply slide the poles through the pole sleeves and place two stakes (one on either side of the tent on the ventilation flaps) to hold the tent in place. Each tent can be setup in about 2 minutes.
- Vents. Mesh Vents are built-in to the side walls and top of each Carbon Dome Tent for ample airflow and to reduce condensation. Guy line cords for vent flaps are reflective for extra visibility at night.
- Small Footprint. Since the Carbon Dome Tent doesn't have a bunch of guy lines or vestibules, you only NEED about a 7 1/2' x 4' area to pitch our tent. This can be critical when larger tent sites are unavailable.
- Waterproof. The ultralight material we use is waterproof and doesn't stretch like other nylon-based materials. Our tents are taped on critical seams and sealed on other seams, providing you with a storm-resistant shelter.
- Bathtub Floor. Our Bathtub Floor is made from 1.0oz per square yard ultralight material that is very durable. The Bathtub Floor and sealed seams provide protection from water up to about 6 inches up from the ground.
- Wind Resistance. Due to the geodesic dome shape of the Carbon Dome Tent, the arched Carbon Fiber pole structure holds up well in the wind. Pin the tent down with two of our Aluminum Stakes (included) for a solid placement without worrying about your tent walls collapsing in on you (like other non-freestanding tents).
Instructions
Setting up the tent is relatively easy, considering you don't have to mess with trekking poles or guy lines. Simply slide the poles through the pole sleeves, like any traditional dome tent, feed the pole tips into their respective grommets, and cinch down the webbing in two corners. You're guaranteed a nice taught pitch every time. Attach the rain fly to the top of the tent if there's a chance of rain. Finally, place a stake in the ground on either side of the tent to assist with ventilation and to secure the tent to the ground. If conditions are windy, utilize the additional two stakes in the front and back of the tent.
