Why Choose the Highlander Falcon Bivi Backpacking Tent?
If you want the protection of a tent but the minimal pack size of a bivvy, the Highlander Falcon Bivi Backpacking Tent delivers a compact, lightweight shelter designed for self-supported, multi-day adventures.
Weighing just 1kg, or 0.95kg without the drybag, this lightweight hooped bivvy tent is ideal for wild camping, bikepacking, mountain trekking and minimalist expeditions where every gram matters. The two-hoop construction provides noticeably more comfort and headroom than a standard bivvy bag, giving improved airflow and usable internal space without the bulk of a traditional 1 person tent.
The durable 75D 210T polyester ripstop flysheet features an impressive 4000mm hydrostatic head for excellent waterproof protection in demanding UK conditions. Combined with taped seams and a fully sewn-in 5000mm groundsheet, the Falcon Bivi helps keep you protected from both rainfall and ground moisture.
Ventilation is improved through a two-way zipper and mesh window at the entrance, helping manage airflow and reduce condensation. The zipped main entry also includes an internal mosquito mesh door for insect protection during warmer trips.
Built with lightweight and strong 7001 aluminium poles and supplied with aluminium pegs, the Falcon offers durability and stability in exposed environments. It can be pitched as one unit or flysheet only, giving extra flexibility when conditions change.
Packing down to a compact 37 x 10cm and supplied with a waterproof drybag stuff sack, this hooped bivvy tent is easy to carry in a rucksack or strap to bikepacking setups. Backed by a 1 year warranty, it is a dependable choice for minimalist adventurers seeking fast pitching convenience and serious waterproof protection.
