As in the title. What are some good non-US brands for UL backpacking tents? I’d love to get a UL 3P tent (difficult on a good day) around 3 lbs if possible. Are there any Canadian suppliers or EU?
Durston tents - making arguably the best UL tents in the world - are a Canadian company. Durston Gear

Except their products are not made in Canada; usually in the U.S., Vietnam, Austria, etc. Durston Shipping Info
It might be easier to list UL tents that are made in the USA. Almost all tents from US tent companies are made in the far east.
Durston is a great Canadian manufacturer of UL tents. They are not made in Canada, but like I said, next to nothing is. Hofmans Outdoor is a great source for some UL fabrics and tarps, located in MB.
Thanks for the note. MEC is certainly a contender if not their product, their distribution is solid. I may be able to find existing stock of Big Agnes, MSR, or Nemo UL tent products that were brought in before tariffs.
Samaya makes some interesting options.

Very cool stuff, had no idea this company existed. They’re pricey though.
Liteway PyraOmm Plus 3P. They have 3 options for materials - tyvek, UltraTNT, and silpoly.
