ISPO Award Winner: The Via 2 UL tent from Robens

The Via 2 UL tent from Robens redefines lightweight trekking tents with an innovative off-set frame and carbon fiber end pole that maximizes interior space and keeps gear dry. 

The new Via 2 UL tent from Robens is the ideal companion for ultralight travel without sacrificing comfort or protection. In just a few simple steps, you can create a sturdy retreat for two people that provides reliable protection even in demanding conditions. Innovative materials, intuitive construction, and a clever space concept create a tent that offers everything modern trekkers expect from high-end equipment.

The Via 2 UL tent sets new standards in the category of ultralight trekking tents. Its innovative off-set frame and carbon fiber end pole maximize interior space and keep sleeping bags and equipment reliably dry. The vertical front wall creates additional headroom. 

The flysheet is made of HydroTex SilPoly RS UL (15D, 420T) – a siliconized polyester that does not sag even when wet and remains dimensionally stable. It is UV-resistant, water-repellent, and quick-drying. The inner tent made of 10D nylon mesh provides excellent ventilation and keeps insects out, while remaining ultralight and durable. 

Thanks to Duraflex buckles, YKK Aquaguard zippers, and magnetic door closures, setup and handling are easy even with cold fingers or in windy conditions. Every component has been designed to make setup intuitive, quick, and secure – ideal for those who prefer to spend their energy exploring rather than fiddling with equipment.

What makes the Via 2 UL tent special is its modular versatility. Depending on the tour and weather conditions, the tent can be set up in different configurations – as a pure flysheet, as an airy inner tent, in classic complete mode, or with the unique porch mode, which is created with the help of trekking poles. This flexible “shelter space” offers additional storage space or a protected cooking area – perfect for rainy days or windy high altitudes. The combination of carbon fiber struts and strategically reinforced seams guarantee stability even in strong winds. 

With a particularly low weight compared to other 2-person tents in this category, the Via 2 UL is an ideal companion for trekking tours, long-distance hikes, or bikepacking adventures. Despite its lightweight construction, the tent impresses with its robust quality – a result of carefully selected materials and high-quality workmanship. 

Thanks to its minimal weight, maximum functionality, and intuitive usability, this tent is a game changer for anyone who loves the freedom of the wilderness, whether on solo adventures or tours for two.
