GoLite Shangri-La 1 Backpacking Shelter

Product Highlights

New for 2008! Designed to appeal to lightweight devotees and thru-hikers, the GoLite Shangri-La 1 shelter offers ultra-lite versatility for use in varied seasons. Functional and durable, the minimalist Shangri-La 1 boasts a packed weight of just 1 pound 5 ounces!

The Shangri-La 1 provides 23 square feet of protected interior space. Dual roof vents allow air to circulate and combat condensation build-up. The ultra-lite waterproof SilLite fabric of the Shangri-La 1 boasts an impressive tear-strength ratio while keeping packed weight to a minimum.

A dual-peak design allows the Shangri-La 1 to be erected with two adjustable trekking poles (not included) or by suspending the shelter from overhead branches via integrated external peak loops. The steep pitch of the Shangri-La 1 effectively sheds both rain and snow, making the Shangri-La 1 surprisingly weather-resistant. Multiple stake out loops and 6 included stakes allow the Shangri-La 1 to be pulled taut and pitched securely.

NOTE: A minimalist shelter, the Shangri-La 1 does not include a floor. The GoLite Shangri-La 1 Nest can be purchased separately to provide a mesh interior with the Shangri-La 1 serving as a rainfly canopy. Also sold separately, the Shangri-La 1 Floor can be used to lend the Shangri-La 1 greater weather protection and extended season versatility.
