Description

We love the feeling of being inside your tent while the rain falls. Everything feels as it should. This shelter is built for that.

The Swiftline is a lightweight trekking pole shelter designed for livability. An offset pole structure, side vestibule, and double-wall design make for a comfortable, stormworthy shelter.

  • Offset pole structure - Balances headroom where you need it most
  • Side entry - Easy, unobstructed access
  • Double-wall design - Modularity and condensation management
  • Side vestibule - Keeps your gear accessible without blocking entry
  • Vented apexes - Enhanced airflow to reduce condensation
  • Recycled silpoly fabric - Stays taut when wet
  • Two inner material options - A more durable, standard option, or a lighter weight option
  • Three length options - Dial in the length to your height and needs

The original Swiftline

Thirteen years in the making

Conceptualized around 2010 and launched in 2013, the Swiftline gained a loyal following. But there were two things we always knew we wanted to address: the fully asymmetric design made for a steep learning curve when pitching it, and the complex construction made it challenging to maintain consistent quality.

We paused in 2020 to fix both. It's built today in small batches in Missoula, Montana, by us, a team of two. We're glad it's back.


Open layout

On clear nights, roll back the tent walls for a more open and connected experience. Gaze at the stars while remaining protected from the bugs.


Interior space

The Swiftline was a pioneer of the offset pole structure. The diagonal ridgeline puts headroom where you sit, plus volume above your head and at your feet when lying down.

The inner net provides about 43" of interior height along the ridge. At the head and foot, you'll find ~10" of vertical space above the floor. Check out the topo maps below to see the full profile.

Quick, intuitive pitch - fly first, pole handles up

Stake the four corners, insert and stake the poles, then stake the vestibules. Use eight stakes for maximum stability in storms, or six to save weight.

Pitching the fly first keeps the inner dry in the rain. For faster setup, you can leave both pieces clipped together and pitch them as one.

Orient your trekking poles so the tips point down. This protects the fly from punctures and keeps your pole handles out of reach of nibbling critters.

Designed for trekking poles, with optional tent poles available if you prefer.


Convenience: Side-entry & vestibule space

Enter and exit easily from the side with a zipper that can be operated with one hand. The side vestibule keeps your gear accessible without blocking the door.


Double-wall design

The Swiftline consists of two modular components: a rain fly and an inner net tent. Use the fly solo for a minimalist tarp setup, or pair them together for full protection. The double-wall design creates an air gap between layers that, along with vented apexes, mitigates condensation buildup.

Learn more about condensation here.


Material options

Silpoly fabric and aggressive curves create a taut, wind-shedding pitch that won't sag in the rain. The fly uses recycled fabric, and the inner comes in two options: a lighter recycled Sil/Sil coated floor with 0.5 oz netting, or a more durable Sil/PU coated floor with 0.6 oz netting for better puncture resistance and grip.

We use a durable #5 Aquaguard zipper on the fly and a lighter #3 on the inner. Zipper sliders are often the first component to wear out, so regular cleaning and lubrication helps extend their life - especially in dusty conditions. If you ever need the sliders replaced, just get in touch.


Tub-floor w/ 3 length options

The Swiftline's floor measures 30" wide and is available in three lengths, 80", 86", or 92" (203, 218, or 234cm). The 7 - 8" deep tub tapers outward at the top to give you more elbow room.


Notes/FAQ:

  • Do I need a groundsheet? Using a groundsheet will help extend the life of any floor. It's usually not necessary with either of our floor options, but the light floor option will benefit from a groundsheet more than the standard option.
  • Do I need to seal the seams? Yes, before your first trip. Apply Seam Grip +SIL to the outside of the fly seams. Plan for 30-60 minutes. See our seam sealing guide for step-by-step instructions. The floor corners can also be sealed the same way, though it's rarely necessary. If you'd rather skip it, our optional seam sealing service handles it before we ship.
  • Can I use the inner with other tarps? The Swiftline inner is unlikely to work well with other tarps, so we don't recommend it.
  • Do your Bug Shelters or Bivys work with the rain fly? We do not recommend it. While you might be able to set them up in a pinch, they would be misshapen and difficult to use.

Required items (not included):

  • Seam Sealer: Seal the fly's seams before your first trip. Use a sealer made for silicone-coated fabrics: we recommend Gear Aid Seam Grip +Sil. Or use our optional seam sealing service, and we'll handle it before shipping.
  • Trekking Poles: About 120cm (~47") for full height of the shelter.
    Or use our optional tent poles.
  • Stakes: 6 (8 for better wind stability)
Pitching

How to pitch

  1. Prep: Set your poles to about 120 - 122 cm (47 - 48").
  2. Stake corners: Stake out the four main corners in a rectangle.
  3. Insert and stake poles: Pass poles under the fly, grab through the vent and nest the handle in the pole cup. Then stake out the apexes.
  4. Stake vestibule: Stake out the remaining two corners.
  5. Adjust: Adjust guylines and stakes to acheive a taut and balanced pitch.
  6. Attach inner: Clip the inner to the fly at the apexes and corners. Shorten connecting cords to tighten.

Tip: When breaking camp, leave the inner and outer connected so your shelter is ready for a quick, seamless setup next time.


How to pitch just the inner

When the weather is nice, you might want to pitch the inner without the rain fly. Here's how to do that.

  1. Prep: Unclip the rainfly's apex guylines (2) from the fly. You'll use these for the inner.
  2. Stake corners: At each corner of the tub, extend the shock cord to nearly its full length and clip it to the tie out at the bottom corner of the tub. Stake out all the corners, fairly tightly, in a rectangle.
  3. Install pole cups: Clip the guylines to the pole cups, then clip the inner's apex to the opposite side of the pole cup.
  4. Raise and stake apexes: Insert the pole handle into the pole cup to raise the apexes. Stake them out so the guyline runs roughly inline with the ridgeline.

Tip: If you're having issues with stability, it's likely due to either insufficient tension on the floor, or to the angle at which the guylines are running with respect to the inner.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.
