Why Choose the Robens Cress 1 Pro Backpacking Tent?

If you want a lightweight 1 person backpacking tent that balances packability, weather protection and usable space, the Robens Cress 1 Pro Backpacking Tent is built for solo hikers and wild campers who need dependable shelter without excess bulk.

Its side entry sloping tunnel design creates a stable sleeping area with enhanced headroom, while keeping carry weight low at 1.8kg with a minimum weight of 1.3kg. The inner is offset to create a practical porch for storage, plus additional storage space at the foot, helping keep wet boots and kit organised on overnight routes.

For poor conditions, the durable HydroTex Core flysheet delivers a 4000mm hydrostatic head with taped seams, and the 6000mm groundsheet helps block damp ground. Covered ventilation at both ends and a mesh door panel support airflow to help manage condensation on cooler nights.

Pitching is streamlined with closed end pole sleeves for easier pole insertion, plus colour coded poles and sleeves for faster setup. You can also pitch it without the inner when required. Backed by a 2 year warranty, it is a smart choice for solo backpacking across the UK.
