€289,99 €409,99
Details
A lightweight 4-person tent for shared adventures on bike or foot
More space, shared stories
Khort is built for the kind of trips that are better together. Whether it’s a long weekend with mates or a family ride into the hills, it gives you the space to share the experience - and the load.
Spacious, practical and weighing under 4 kg, it’s a tent that balances comfort with packability, so you can carry less individually and still camp well.
Highlights
- 4-person capacity - room for groups, or extra space for two or three
- Outer pitch first - dependable protection when the weather turns
- Twin porches - more space for kit, cooking and easy access
- Freestanding design - stable, confident pitch across varied ground
- Compact pole sections - easier to pack onto bikes or into rucksacks
- Lightweight for its size - under 4 kg for shared carrying
Built for group travel
Khort maximises liveable space, practicality and all-weather protection to give camping comfort for up to four people. It’s just as well suited to two or three who want a bit more room, whether that’s spreading out kit or simply having space to sit up and relax.
The updated design now pitches outer-first, giving you shelter from the outset when the weather’s less forgiving. Once up, the freestanding structure feels solid and reassuring, with a semi-geodesic profile that stays stable in exposed conditions while still offering good headroom.
Practical space, inside and out
Twin doors and larger porches make life easier when you’re sharing. You get flexible access in and out of the tent, with enough covered space to store packs, cook or keep wet gear out of the sleeping area.
Inside, there’s room to sit up, stretch out and settle in for the evening. It’s a tent designed for longer stays as much as quick overnighters - comfortable wherever you pitch it.
Packable, portable, ready to go
Despite its size, Khort remains easy to carry. The compact pole design keeps pack size down, with shorter sections that fit neatly into panniers or rucksacks. At 3.65 kg, it’s light enough to split between a group, making it a practical option for bikepacking trips, multi-day hikes or travelling further afield.
Guylines and adjustable peg points let you adapt your pitch to the conditions, while the oversized stuff sack makes packing up straightforward at the end of the day.
Built to last
The flysheet and groundsheet use durable ripstop fabrics with a PFC-free finish, helping Khort stand up to repeated use across seasons. Strong aluminium poles and solid construction give it the durability you want for regular trips, from UK fells to European routes.
Designer's notes
"Khort creates a practical and spacious tent. It's the tent we'd take to Europe for big adventures or when we want to camp in comfort with space to stretch out. It's lightweight for a tent that sleeps up to four. It weighs 3.65kg and packs down small with its compact pole design. It's got a semi-geodesic profile with enough height to sit up."

Gear you'll love for longer
Khort is built to last with Ripstop nylon and polyester used throughout and alloy poles. It'll keep going trip after trip.
Naturally PFC-free
Khort is made from silicone coated polyester that's naturally PFC-free. PFCs are potentially harmful and have been found to build up in the environment. We don't like the sound of that and are one of the first outdoor brands in the world to eliminate them from our range.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intensity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
