Brooks-Range Alpini Shelter


Discontinued


The Alpini is quite possibly the lightest, smallest, most packable-est shelter that squeezes by the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse checklist. Alpini refers to a historical Italian infantry division who dominated the high mountains using light-n-fast tactics. The shelter is essentially a frameless tent, providing protection from the wind and rain while trapping some heat. If you need to bivouac or just want to stop for a pleasant lunch in a storm, whip up the Alpini and ignore your surroundings. The breathable fabric and vents minimize condensation of your breath and sweat.

Two average-sized humans with a moderate amount of flexibility and coordination can squeeze into this shelter, though you will use every nook and cranny of extra space. One average-sized human can fit in the shelter with a backpack, poles, a bit of extra head room, and a deck of cards.

  • 6 Stake Attachment Points to anchor the shelter to the ground.
  • 3 Guy Line attachments on the roof.
  • 3 "Catch Pockets" built into the roof so your ski poles can create extra head room.
  • 2 Mesh Side Windows for to help with condensation and warmth regulation.
