Altair One Ultralight Trekking Pole Backpacking Tent, Waterproof SIL Nylon, Double Wall, 3 Season, 1 Person Shelter for Backpacking, Hiking, Camping, Trekking, Bushcraft

Just had it out for the first time of a 3 days backpacking trip, and it rained the second night for a few hours, the tent kept me dray and held up well in the wind with the guylines tightened up.The material is high quality nylon, seams are taped and stakes are sturdy. I look forward to many more adventures with this one.

1P tents tend to be pretty claustrophobic and this tent is no exception. It is the lightest 2-walled tent you can buy for the money.We had a little backyard campout and deliberately left the sprinklers going in the middle of the night to test the rain-worthiness. It passed that test with flying colors.The ONLY gripe I have with the tent is the back wall opposite of the door. I couldn't get the rainfly to sit far enough away from the inner mesh, so when I sat up to cook or change my clothes, my back causes the mesh to push into the rainfly and get soaked from the condensation. The 2P version would probably solve this issue but cost the additional ounces.

This tent is impressive in its light weight and its build quality so it's apparent why so many people like it, but it's not perfect. I decided to review one to see why it's so great.In terms of weight, it's getting close to weight of dyneema tents for about 1/10 the price. It is also easy and quick to set up and requires just 6 stakes, although more might be required if it's really windy. I should mention that you can't set up just the inner mesh tent unless you rig a guyline at the front to hold up the hiking pole (which is not provided, as in almost all ultralight tents).When you set up the outer tent, it holds up the hiking pole so everything stays up. Being roughly cone shaped, it sheds both wind and water very well, although it didnt rain on the 2 nights where I tried it out.About the only problem I see is ventilation. If you zip it up fully, which is necessary when it's raining, it feels stuffy inside and tends to have a lot of condensation on the outer wall. None of it lands on you, as it easily slides down to the outer edge, but stil LOTS of condensation, even with the small "exhaust" opening on top duly guyed out. You can reduce this a bit by staking out the outer tent a little further so it gets better airflow, but that requires about 5 additional stakes.So like I said, not quite perfect but pretty close and amazingly well built for the price. None of the zippers snag, the outer zipper is waterproof, all the guy lines are attached so you don't lose them and it's very quick to set up. You can even set up the outer tent first really quickly if it's raining and then tkae your time to set up the inner tent from inside to stay dry. It's a little tricky but doable.Fantastic tent for just one person, and ONLY one person. Your gear has to go outside in the vestibule.
