Overview
Backpackers who pitch alone get a freestanding dome with Quick Corners and color coded clips that make setup simple. A seam taped fly and vestibule handle rain and gear storage.
Light weight and solo friendly setup make it a capable first backpacking tent. One door means climbing over your partner, and the floor size is listed two different ways.
Who it's for
Weekend backpackers and campers who value easy setup suit this tent. Couples who want two doors or more headroom should look at larger models.
Pros and cons
- Freestanding, movable after pitching
- Easy solo setup
- Seam taped fly
- Vestibule for gear
- Floor dimensions listed inconsistently
- Small vestibule area
Performance notes
Quick Corners hold poles while you clip the body, so one person can pitch it. A coated fly and taped seams shed rain. Guying out the fly improves stability and airflow.
