Formed in 1872 the Alpinis troops of the Italian Alpine Corps are the oldest active mountain infantry in the world. Nobody fought like the elite Alpinis. Currently, the Alpinis are some of the best trained and best equipped mountain troops in the world. Our UltraLite Alpini Shelter 200 is inspired the elite Alpinis alpine troops.

The UltraLite Alpini Shelter is a simple concept, effectively a frameless tent. The UltraLite Alpini Shelter is a fabric structure that provides highly effective protection from wind and rain, trapping and retaining the body heat from one or more people. By creating a warm local environment, the UltraLite Alpini Shelter provides protection from the threat of hypothermia and wind chill.

The UltraLite Alpini Shelter is used for lunch and rest stops, when pitching a tent would be time consuming and impractical. The UltraLite Alpini Shelter can be quickly and simply pulled overhead, to provide shelter from the wind, cold and rain while eating lunch or just taking a break. "Ounce for ounce one of the best pieces of outdoor gear toy can carry."

The Brooks-Range UltraLite Alpini Shelter 200 is made with high tenacity ripstop nylon, giving this shelter greater tear and abrasion resistance, while keeping it light and compact. Ideal for one or two backcountry travelers, the relief from cold and inclement weather is immediate inside this simple shelter. With two people inside, it warms up in less than 10 minutes. Condensation is kept a minimum due to both the breathable fabric and generously sized vents.

For most people going out into the backcountry, the UltraLite Alpini Shelter 200 will become a essential item on any equipment list, an attractive alternative to the standard bivy bag in that the UltraLite Alpini Shelter 200 weights less, packs smaller and is more versatile.
