What reviewers say

OutdoorGearLab names it a top pick for a first ultralight tent: easy to set up with everything included and good door keepers, but tight for two adults and no fly-only pitch. CleverHiker calls it the best "one-and-a-half person" tent, praising the low weight, ventilation, pockets and small packed size, while noting it is small for two.

Good

  • Light and packs small
  • Easy pitch, all parts included
  • Good ventilation

Not so good

  • Snug for two adults
  • No fly-only pitch
  • Pricey

Who it's for

Solo hikers who want extra room, or two close companions who count every ounce. Two larger adults will be happier in a wider tent.
