Compact modular shelter that packs down to just 30 × 25 × 25 cm while offering exceptional living space, multiple pitching options and outstanding wind stability.
Why We Built It
Some products begin with a sketch.
This one began with disappointment.
Over the years we'd used everything from lightweight backpacking tents to large canvas bell tents.
Every design had something to like.
Every design asked you to compromise.
Then we discovered Lavvu-style shelters.
Two in particular stood out.
They were incredibly stable in strong winds, offered a huge amount of living space and packed surprisingly small.
When those tents disappeared from the market, it left us asking a simple question.
Why wasn't anyone building something like this anymore?
Rather than trying to copy what came before, we used those ideas as a starting point and set out to build a modern modular shelter using today's materials and everything we'd learnt from years of camping.
Not to reinvent the Lavvu.
To refine it for the way Adventurers travel today.
Space Without the Bulk
One of the biggest frustrations with camping shelters is the compromise between pack size and living space.
Small tents often feel restrictive.
Larger tents become bulky and difficult to carry.
We believed there was a better balance.
Packed away, the Lavvu Modular Tent measures just 30 × 25 × 25 cm — smaller than many adventure motorcycle helmets.
Once pitched, it creates a surprisingly spacious shelter with room to sleep, cook, wait out bad weather or simply enjoy being outdoors.
Small to carry.
Generous to live in.
Designed This Way
Every decision was made with real-world camping in mind.
The Lavvu uses modern materials chosen to balance durability, weight and pack size without sacrificing the strength needed for years of adventure.
Setup was kept intentionally simple.
No complicated pole systems.
No unnecessary faff after a long day outdoors.
The aim was always to spend less time pitching camp and more time enjoying where you've arrived.
The modular design means the shelter can be adapted to suit the trip.
Use the outer on its own.
Pitch only the inner.
Add the footprint when conditions demand it.
Connect the tarp to create additional sheltered living space.
Every part is designed to work together from the beginning, not added as an afterthought.
The best ideas don't always come from us either.
During development, Adventurers shared their thoughts and experiences.
One simple suggestion was to allow the flysheet door to zip from both directions, improving ventilation in warm conditions.
It was a better idea than ours.
So we built it that way.
Built for Real Adventures
No two trips are ever the same.
One weekend might mean travelling light on a motorcycle.
The next could be camping with family or spending several days exploring further from home.
The Lavvu Modular Tent adapts to both.
Its strength comes not from doing one thing exceptionally well, but from giving you the flexibility to make it work for the adventure you've chosen.
That's what modularity means to us.
Not more parts.
More possibilities.
