The intent of this design was to provide a bullet-proof solo shelter for backcountry outings, that you can enter and leave without having to crawl, at very light weight. We want you to be able to stand when you enter the Sawtooth and when you put your gear on in the morning.

Due to its sloping shape to the rear, it is optimized it for height, the 6′ 5″ testers who’ve been in it can stand straight up. Our 5’11” testers can even move around a foot or so in all directions. It’s very spacious, having plenty of room for two men with full gear for all four seasons. With the ability to add one our stoves, plentiful firewood, and backpack camp chairs the Sawtooth can punch far above its weight and provide comfort wherever you are.
