Optimized Sleeping Area is oriented to maximize usable space, ventilation, and view. A peak height of 48 inches gives you plenty of headroom. Seams aren't sealed. We recommend to use GEAR AID Seam Grip SIL seam sealer to achieve complete waterproofness. We do not offer seam sealing service at this time. It is important to note that seam sealed products can no longer be returned within 30 days. However, the product is still under warranty. The rest of the trip was fine, I just had to accept that I can’t sleep at the tops as I used with my 3.5 kg winter tent. The guidelines on the sides of the tent turned out to be very useful so I definitely recommend using them. They proved very handy during some other trips and less windy nights. I’m 188 cm (6’2’’) and I greatly appreciated the extra space that installed guidelines have provided. When it comes to tall hikers, the tent is OK for me but taller people may find it a bit short and they’ll likely touch the bottom of the tent with their feet.

The hybrid single skin construction also saves weight. As with any single skin tent condensation can be an issue but the mesh inner and updated vent for the new version does help mitigate this issue. The vestibule is set on the long side of the tent to maximize views and ventilation when fully open. Close it and you've got phenomenal protection from the worst storms. MSR also designed the Hubba Hubba with a rain gutter on the rain fly and a StayDry door, which is a little flap covering the zipper to keep rain out. Used extensively by Cairngorm Treks from late summer to early winter 2018, throughout the Cairngorms and surrounding areas.The North Face Stormbreak 1 is one of the best one-person tents for hot weather because half of its body is mesh. You can sleep comfortably on clear summer nights with maximum ventilation. The primary downside of this mid is in the configuration. The two interior trekking poles provide a stable design, but they are set up right in the middle of the tent. This relegates the prime real estate of its shelter to a strip in the middle, mostly used for gear storage. The Beta Light is best for those seeking a floorless pyramid tent with many applications across all seasons and environments. Bathtub floats above ground under no tension, increasing ventilation and reducing risk of punctures. Single-person tents have a terrible but well-deserved reputation for being uncomfortably snug. If you’re tall, you may have an even harder time finding a tent you can sit upright in. The peak height on The One is quite generous at 45″ and, despite a small interior footprint, has a relatively large vestibule at 10 square feet.

The dual pole structure is slightly offset from the center of the tent. The offset yields extra head room when lying down, reducing that claustrophobic feeling. Further, it allows the Skyscapeto be extremely rigid when guyed out, creating a structure capable of riding out the worst storms. Although the tent’s interior space is average-sized regarding square footage and peak height, abundant porch space means there’s enough space for lots of gear. sq. ft. of living space with a peak height of 49 inches – plenty of room for all kinds of seated tasks. Canopy creates an 8.5sq. ft. vestibule for added protection during storms.I assessed the performance of the Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo by focusing on the following categories: The bathtub floor on the Lunar Solo effectively keeps water out of the shelter. The Lunar Solar can also be pitched lower in 45”- 46” for a lower profile in high wind situations. It sets up with trekking poles and you can adjust your trekking pole height depending on conditions. The Canopy is 20D material and the floor has been constructed with 40D material for additional strength. Silpoly is more compressible than silnylon. It is also less likely to sag, allowing for a tauter pitch. Siliconized polyester is less likely to trap moisture and is less likely to delaminate. Silpoly is shaking up the ultralight world, and as a smaller brand, Six Moon Designs has had the most time of almost any brand to perfect using it in a shelter. Netting If you’re also excited about an eco-friendly tent, look at the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL 1. In addition to solution-dyed fabric, which uses less water than standard dying techniques, the seams use a tape with solvent-free polyurethane.
