Black Diamond First Light

Active Junky Badass Gear Winner

Spend more time away from city lights with a pitch-anywhere model that performs solidly, no fly required. Stake your claim and go higher than ever before.

At first glance, single-wall tents such as FirstLight appear as throwbacks to early scouting tents.  Unlike those primitive heavy canvas or nylon relics, FirstLight’s NanoShield wall fabric and 2000mm floor take sleet storms and snowdrifts in stride with mesh vent panels to minimize interior condensation.  Active Junky trusts BDE to strike the floor space-to-ridge height balance; there’s enough room to sit to prep meals, sort gear racks and check weather reports by sat phone.  Created for climbers, it packs to 6” x 9” at under 3.5lbs to suit bike packing enthusiasts, touring paddlers and four-season trekkers alike.  Mountain weather is no longer the crux with this double-sewn, enlightened design.
