Description
Light Enough to Carry. Livable Enough to Stay.
The HillZero Scout 2P is a Livable Backpacking Tent for two people who want four-season protection without giving up the comfort of a well-designed shelter. At 4.3 lbs (1.95 kg), it balances carrying efficiency with stability, weather protection, ventilation, and everyday livability.
Built around the HillZero approach to Livable Backpacking, Scout 2P is designed for more than getting you through the miles. It is designed to make the time after the trail more comfortable, practical, and worth staying for.
Designed for the Journey. Considered for the Stay.
A 4-season backpacking tent needs to do more than protect you from difficult weather. It also needs to remain comfortable and practical when you stop moving.
Scout 2P combines a lightweight 20D Sil/Sil nylon flysheet, a strong DAC aluminum pole structure, an external pole setup, and a breathable double-layer inner. Each element serves a purpose: keeping the shelter light to carry while making it more capable and comfortable at camp.
More Durable · Simpler Setup · More Stable · Better Ventilation
01 — Durable 20D Sil/Sil Nylon
The flysheet is made from lightweight 20D nylon with a double-sided silicone coating, offering a balanced combination of low weight, durability, and weather resistance.
With a 2500mm waterproof rating and PFAS-free construction, the fabric is designed to provide reliable protection from rain and snow without adding unnecessary weight.
02 — External Pole Structure
The external pole structure makes setup easier in wet weather. The flysheet can be pitched before the inner tent is exposed, helping keep your sleeping space dry when setting up in rain or snow.
For backpackers arriving at camp in changing conditions, this means a simpler setup and less time spent exposing the inner tent to the weather.
03 — Reinforced Stability
DAC NSL 9.0 aluminum poles provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, giving Scout 2P the structural support expected from a lightweight 4-season backpacking tent.
Trekking poles can also be added as secondary support using the included accessories. This allows the structure to be reinforced when camping in stronger winds or more exposed conditions.
04 — Double-Layer Inner for Better Comfort
The inner tent combines breathable 20D nylon with mesh panels to create a more comfortable environment for sleeping and staying inside.
The double-layer construction helps retain warmth in colder conditions, while the mesh panels and DWR-treated inner sections promote airflow and help manage condensation during 3-season use.
05 — Built for Difficult Weather
A 2500mm waterproof flysheet, bathtub-style floor, and waterproof construction work together to protect against rain, snow, and ground moisture.
YKK waterproof zippers help keep the entrances protected in wet conditions, while reflective guy lines improve visibility around camp in low light.
What Makes Scout 2P a Livable Backpacking Tent?
At HillZero, Livable Backpacking means looking beyond the miles. A backpacking tent should be light enough to carry, but it should also make the time you spend at camp more comfortable.
Scout 2P is designed around that balance. Its lightweight construction keeps your pack manageable, while the double-layer inner, ventilation, weather protection, and stable structure create a more comfortable space when the day's journey is over.
Carry Less. Live Better.
