An ultralight backpacking tent for solo adventures, weighing in at less than a kilo.

The Bobcat 1 UL is an incredibly light, single-pole ‘blade’ tent for expedition camping. Equipped with N-Liten Sil/Nylon* fabric, it delivers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and high levels of waterproofing, making it the perfect shelter for camping in the UK.

The Bobcat pitches in a flash, especially when the inner is left attached after the first pitch. That’s handy for setting up your shelter quickly in fading light after a long trek. The OEX Endura Pole is made from premium-grade T6 aluminium, offering extremely high tensile strength. The tent also comes with premium aluminium pegs and ultra-lightweight guy rope to keep the pack weight as low as possible. 

The sitting height ensures there’s a usable porch area, which can be extended with the compatible OEX Feral UL Tarp (420 grams, sold separately). And with a 200cm (6ft 5’) inner length, there’s enough room for tall campers to stretch their legs.

The OEX Bobcat has gained a loyal following of UK wild campers thanks to its reliable performance and fuss-free design. This ultralight version offers the perfect upgrade for those looking to trim down their kit weight and size while enjoying the premium performance of a Sil/Nylon tent.  

*Sil/Nylon is lighter and more flexible than PU-coated polyester fabric. The fabric repels moisture on both sides, preventing condensation build-up and significantly reducing the risk of mould and mildew. It offers the best waterproofing available and can be seam-sealed with silicon rather than tape, helping further reduce the tent's weight. Although not always necessary, each tent comes supplied with a tube of Silicone Seam Sealer to re-seal any gaps for improved waterproof performance.
