Black Diamond Firstlight Tent

The Black Diamond Firstlight Tent is an ultralight single-wall shelter for alpine climbers and high-route travelers who prioritize weight on technical mountain terrain. NanoShield single-wall fabric eliminates the inner-outer separation of a double-wall tent for a packed weight of 2lb 13oz on the 2-person version, and DAC Featherlite poles hold the structure upright under wind loads that collapse lighter shelters without the structural redundancy of a full double-wall design. Dyneema guylines anchor the tent at rated pull points without unnecessary line weight.

For alpinists running a summit-push kit, the Firstlight 2-person version delivers livable interior space at a weight that doesn't require compromising elsewhere in the kit. The single-wall construction handles the condensation management demands of high-alpine environments when properly ventilated, making it the right shelter for technical objectives where pack weight has a direct effect on what's achievable above the bergschrund.
