Tent SALEWA Litertrek III Lightweight Waterproof three-person tunnel tent

SALEWA Litertrek III Lightweight Waterproof three-person tunnel tent is a compact, low-weight shelter designed for trekking and backpacking trips where reliable weather protection and easy carrying matter. The tent offers covered sleeping space for up to three occupants in a tunnel layout that balances internal volume with a small packed size suitable for multi-day hikes and mountain trail use.

Its tunnel shape provides efficient use of space for sleeping and gear storage while maintaining a low profile for better wind resistance. Packed dimensions and low weight make it easier to include in a rucksack for long-distance walking or alpine approaches.

How to use

Choose a level, well-draining campsite and clear debris before pitching. Lay out the groundsheet and outer fly as directed by the manufacturer, then assemble the poles and slide them through the sleeves or attach them to the clips depending on the model’s setup system. Raise the tent, stake out the guy lines and vestibule points to maintain tension, and adjust peg positions for wind direction. Ensure all zippers close smoothly and that the fly is taut to prevent pooling of water.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, store the tent dry after use and periodically check seams and zippers for wear. Use a footprint or groundsheet to extend the tent floor life and avoid pitching on abrasive or wet surfaces. In strong winds, orient the narrow side of the tunnel toward the prevailing wind and tighten guy lines to reduce movement.
