The MSR Skinny One tent is a lightweight, roomy shelter with superior ventilation that's perfect for extended solo trips.

  • Tube-design provides generous room for 1; single vestibule area provides front door protection and gear storage space
  • Hooped ends feature a quick Fast Clip™ setup; Skinny One is easy to set up despite being non-freestanding
  • Light yet strong DAC Featherlite® NSL poles are anodized without the use of harmful acids
  • Flow-through venting circulates air from one end of the tent to the other, minimizing condensation
  • Attention to detail shows in the taped seams, reinforced stress points, ultralight stake loops, reflective guy cords and user-friendly door toggles

Good 3 season for price range

Rating:****
I used this in Alaska this summer, dealing with both mosquitos and a little early morning rain. Did well on both those counts. Good air flow, and I liked the screened "bay window"
