Raider

Double Wall Ultralight Shelter Built for Hard Use

The Catoma Raider breaks the rules of ultralight shelter design. Most double wall tents sacrifice weight for durability, or durability for weight. The Raider delivers both. At 2.5 pounds, this shelter gives you the weather protection of a double wall system with the packability needed for extended operations and ultralight backpacking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the double wall design help in the field?

The double wall system separates the inner tent from the rainfly, reducing condensation buildup and providing better insulation. This keeps you drier during temperature changes and prevents moisture from collecting on your gear.

What makes this tent suitable for military operations?

The Raider uses mil-spec ripstop materials that resist tearing and punctures. The simple two-pole setup works quickly in low light conditions, and the compact pack size fits standard patrol pack configurations.

How long does setup take?

The two-pole design sets up quickly with minimal steps. The shock-corded aluminum poles snap together easily, and the included stakes secure the shelter efficiently even in challenging terrain.

What kind of weather can this shelter handle?

The 70D Hybri-lite ripstop fly sheds rain and wind effectively, while the 75D ripstop nylon floor provides puncture resistance against rocks and debris. The double wall construction handles condensation better than single wall ultralight shelters.

How does the packed size compare to other ultralight tents?

At 13" x 6" x 6", the Raider packs down to roughly the size of a football. This compact profile fits easily in patrol packs and backpacking gear without taking up excessive space.
