Polestar is our lightest solo shelter — a sub-1kg, twin-skin trekking pole tent designed to let you go further with less. Whether you’re thru-hiking the South Downs Way, fastpacking Cape Wrath, or stashing emergency shelter in the Lakes, it delivers reliable 3-season protection with zero weight penalty.

Ultralight Simplicity for Fast and Far Adventures

  • Weighs just 980g and packs to the size of a flask

  • Pitches using your trekking poles — no tent pole weight

  • Inner and outer pitch together for fast, dry set-up

  • Compact, stable, and stormworthy with extra porch space

Lightweight Shelter That Punches Above Its Weight

Polestar replaces traditional poles with the gear you’re already carrying — trekking or running poles — trimming bulk without compromising on shelter. Its stable crossed-pole architecture and reinforced footbox create usable headroom and sleeping space for solo hikers, with a side entry and porch that makes camp life easier.

It pitches outer-first to keep the inner dry in wet weather, and can be set up outer-only for the lightest footprint possible. With a robust 20D ripstop polyester fly and 3,000mm HH waterproofing on both groundsheet and fly, it’s built to shrug off wind and rain. A mesh inner, vented footbox, and adjustable air flow all help manage condensation across varied conditions.

Trusted on the Toughest Trails

From Dartmoor wild camps to long-distance routes like the West Highland Way, users trust Polestar for its packability, strength, and value:

“Backpacker’s dream. Stood up to wind and rain, multiple pitching options, and tiny packed size.” — Dave
“Still standing after horrific winter storms. I recommend this product.” — Nadia
“Used in 50mph gusts and heavy rain — performed well.” — Jay Johnson

Polestar has also been recognised by Runner’s World as Best Value for its performance-to-price ratio, especially for ultralight running adventures.

Lighter on You, Lower on Impact

Polestar’s simplicity means fewer materials and no wasted components. And like all our tents, it’s completely free from PFCs — harmful chemicals that persist in the environment. It’s backed by our 3-year Alpine Bond and our UK-based repair support to extend its life even further.

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast. You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone. I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.

Would not recommend
Style: SPF 50
I literally never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this sunscreen because I was very caught off guard by all the positive reviews. This sunscreen leaves the most insane white sheen that never soaks in and gets on EVERYTHING. I put this on and drove to the beach and had sunscreen on my car seat, the steering wheel, the center console, the door, EVERYWHERE! It took forever to clean up and was such a hassle and that was after having let the sunscreen soak into my skin for an hour. Also the sunscreen is really thick and difficult to spread and makes you look ghostly white. Plus, the sunscreen has a really odd odor that reminded me of play dough? That might not be a negative thing for everyone but I found it unpleasant. There are definitely better mineral sunscreens out there. For the price I expected a much better product.

Sticky and white
Style: SPF 50
The sunscreen has a very sticky and thick texture. It will keep you from getting sunburnt, but it will also leave you with a white color.
