Great lightweight one-person tent | |
| Rating: |  |
| I just got the T1 because, though I like the space of my 2-person tent, I wanted to lighten the load. The T2 would have accomplished that, but when I compared the weight between them, I decided to downsize for the great reduction of weight and space. Plus, I wanted the versatility of chosing between the 2-person I already have and this one. It sets up easy because of the color coding of the poles. I am 5'7" and I have enough head and leg room with a little length to spare. There is enough head room when I sit up, due to the design. The door opens like a teardrop and when fully open, the door hangs from the top of the drop. There is a small pocket to stuff this into if you want to keep the door open. Unlke the Half Dome tent, there is no storage shelf in the "attic" of the tent. I do miss this feature, but the space is used instead for your sitting headroom. There are two small pockets on the side for your small items. The T1 looks like a great little tent for its size. My only concern is when it rains. I have not used it in the rain yet, but (like my other Half Dome tent) the rainfly is a bit short, leaving about 2-3 inches of the bottom of the tent exposed. I figure when it rains, the exposed portion of the bottom of the tent will get water condensation and cold... since this happens with my Half Dome tent. And since the tent is just wide enough for your sleeping pad and bag, you may feel a little uncomfortable if it gets wet there. But I decided to make the trade off for the weight difference, so we'll see how it goes. Also since it is only a one person tent, there is only one door. This is fine, but since there is no space in the tent for gear in case of rain... it would be nice to have a 2nd door on the other side to put your backpack under the other vestibule, leaving the other door free to enter and exit unencumbered. But since there is not, you will need to put your pack under the rainfly and hope you don't need anything out of it during any rain... or store it on the side of the door, making entering/exiting a little difficult. But this is the downside of going with any one-person tent. If weight is an important priority to you, it is a great tent. It is definitely more comfortable than a bivy sack. | |

Excellent Solo Tent! | |

| I just spent 9 days and 8 nights canoing the Pecos River in West Texas. For those of you unfamiliar with the West Texas landscape let me give you a quick lesson; thorns, rocks, heat, BEAUTY! When I first received the tent I was excited about the weight! Compared to my TNF 3 season tent (6lbs) this tent felt like a tarp! The initial set up was a bit tricky becasue it was the first set up. After that set up I took it down and put it back up a few times, it is very user friendly. The poles and grommet tabs are color coded for ease of construction. The tent is 90% mesh which works great for hot Texas nights. During the trip we received all sorts of weather, from an unexpected Thunderstorm to 75 degree nights. The tent bore the full brunt of the storm (once I retrived it and staked it down)There was no leaking at the seams or rain blown under the tarp. I did not guyline the tent, but If I had, Im sure it would have felt like a brick house! The few nights that condensation formed I had left the rain fly open so there was no build up on the inside of the fly. With the fly off, the ventilation is akin to sleeping under the stars. I am 5' 8" so this tent fit me with a few inches of either foot space or head space depending on sleeping pad placement. There are two stash pockets, one at the foot and one at the head, they are a surprising good size for the minimilism of the tent. The door opens to a 350 circle and can be stuffed into its own pocket at the roof of the tent. FYI this pocket also makes a great place to place a headlamp for lighting. There are also multiple loops inside the tent for other attachments. My one gripe about this tent is the rain fly. Just like other tents I have owned or still own the rain fly has to be angled into the rain if you want to cinch it down tight, which leaves the opposite side more exposed to the elements, but if staked and guylined out there should be no fear of the elements. All in all a great tent. I cant wait to take it backpacking in the mountains this spring and summer! | |

Three months in the tent | |
| Rating: | |
| I worked in the back country this summer and lived in this tent for nearly three months solid. Over that period of time we went thogh torrential hail+ rain, snow, and many many 100+ degree days. The tent held up through all of it. The bathtub bottom works extraordinarily well, you can have a sleeping bag touching it throughout the night in the rain and you will not be wet inside. The venting is decent and keeps out the rain. The Vestibules are about the only down side, in the heavy rain the rain would be falling into the puddles created around the tent by the fly and then splash water up into the mesh in the inside of the tent. After setting it up and taking it down daily for nearly 90 days I had 2 bent stakes, no broken poles and a very very dirty tent. I'm 6 foot and I have just enough room in the tent with a small backpacking pillow in there with me so if you are tall this isn't the tent for you. If you feel like you need to roll around in your sleep this also isn't the tent for you. Sitting up in the middle isn't a problem, and the mesh pouches along the sides fit the bill. | |

Best solo tent for long distance hikes | |
| Rating: |  |
| My tent for a sobo 08 AT thru-hike. I only carried poles, fly, tent and 2 (stakes for the front and back vestibules.) In the 100 mile wilderness a tent was essential to keep the blackflys and mosquitos off in order to sleep. It was great to be able to see through the mesh and still star gaze. I was caught in thunderstorms on peaks and the tent went up quick and would always keep me and my things dry. It has a pocket on either end of the tent so you can store your headlamp/book/watch wherever your head is. There is a top pocket to store the teardrop shaped door. This allowed me to be in my warm bag and tent while cooking in the vestibule. I'm 5'7 and fit snug with available room above my head to keep things extra dry. Did well in the snow too, kept the wind and snow out. I believe its about 2.2 lbs with just essentials. Its very similar to the msr hubba but costs less and weighs less. The hubba is a little bigger inside but pointless inches. Awesome lightweight sturdy simple tent. | |

Might Be The Perfect Tent | |
| Rating: | |
| I’ve only had this tent out once, but it suffered through wind and rain in that one night. It endured both without a hitch. Set up is pretty simple, but I would suggest a dry run the first time. This definitely sets up different than any tent I’ve had before. The interior design is great. The shape is basically that of a giant slice of Texas Toast. A very nice, wide ceiling makes sitting up in the tent very comfortable. Much easier to get dressed/undressed than the typical solo tube tent. I previous used the Alps Mountaineering Comet 1.0, which was a pain for changing clothes in. When I initially climbed inside I was concerned that the width of the tent might prove to be too confining when sleeping. Not a problem at all. There was plenty of elbow room and I didn’t feel confined at all and didn’t bump into the walls when sleeping. I am completely satisfied with this tent and look forward to many nights in it. | |

| This product is sooooo light and compact it is awesome although for some it may be to small as it truely is a one person tent so the area inside is tight no room for anything other then yourself your pack will not fit with you having said that I am 6 foot 2 and sleep inside happily I am even able to sit up inside which is very rare even for 2 person tents and with the rain fly on there is plenty of room for my pack inside of it just outside the tent. there are lots of small ultra light futures to this tent in terms of how it goes up and how it adjusts. this tent is very very very solid this new design is great the wind does not bother it at all. great value if you are into ultra light backpacking and extra comfort is not not your goal then this is perfect. | |

Setup practice needed, nice tent | |
| Rating: | |
| Even though I practiced at home setting this tent up, the first time in the field was problematic. After the 3rd night I got it down but don't wait until then! Great in the rain but when the sun came out briefly it became a furnace in seconds! Even with the venting it was amazingly hot but opening the vestibule, when I could, helped. One comment I got about the foot print was that it looked like a tent thong! Kind of a narrow tent but was adequate for me at 5'9". However, when on my back, my toes would touch the side of the tent and my feet would get cold (I use an air matress and lightweight bag). Even though the tent was long enough the sides curved up into my feet. I had to adjust my head right up to the other end to avoid this. Great value and very light ! | |

WOW, Great Tent | |
| Rating: | |
| I like to go in the back woods with my ktm exc and camp out, so I have to find light enough items so I can maintain control of my motorcycle as I’m traveling over rough terrain but still be comfortable when I get to my destination. This tent is extremely light and very comfortable. I really didn’t think that this tent would work for me because of it size, I’m 5’10” 215 lb and like my space but I was amazed on how comfortable this tent was. I recently was in pretty bad weather where it rained heavy all night and not one drop got past the rain fly, I slept like a baby. The only thing I would change would be a vestibule and door for both sides giving you a little extra space for gear. | |

Nice tent... I wish I could fit inside | |
| Rating: | |
| This seems like a great tent for someone smaller than me; I'm just shy of 6'1" and need a few more inches of length when I'm lying down. I really wish I could keep this tent and am sad to return it. The quality is excellent and it has many thoughtful touches. And, no chemical smell, unlike my new Big Agnes. Buyers, keep in mind that the walls slope inwards at the head and feet, so even if you fit the "footprint," you might not be comfortable in the tent. | |

Super One person tent! | |
| Rating: | |
| Great tent. Color coded poles and seams make set up a breeze. Great place to shed a few POUNDS and still have a comfy, roomy sleeping space for the night. It POURED my first night out and I was dry and happy. Cooked breakfast under the fly and had no issues. Great fly design allows you to stay in the warmth of your bag and unzip the fly just enough to vent for cooking. No problems. | |
