Ultralight tents — documented spec shortlist

These 38 variants meet a transparent catalog filter. “Best” here means candidates to evaluate, not a CampGear field-tested winner or a sales ranking.

How this shortlist was built

A declared minimum tent weight of 1,500 g or less, with missing components stated. The filter uses only dated source-reported values in the supplied data. It does not measure long-term durability, current price, subjective comfort or real-time stock.
