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

Normally I'd be in a hammock, but needed a tent for a certain trip where hammocks weren't allowed. This was great! I put it together at home before taking it out, just to see how it went together before setting up at my destination. It goes up and takes down easy, all you need is a single trekking pole. (And a couple extra stakes, since it was two short. Not a deal breaker IMO) Ventilation is great, I didn't have any condensation the first night. On the second night, I did have some frost on the inside of the rain fly, but I believe that was only due to how cold it was plus the warmth of my breath inside the tent. I'd definitely buy again if something happened to this one, and I needed another tent.

A little over 2lbs in total weight and fitting well in a 5L dry sack, this works really REALLY well for carrying a shelter that's lightweight and packs small. It's a trekking pole tent which means it requires some finesse to make the canvas tight and takes a little longer than a free-standing tent, but overall it's relatively easy to pitch. There are loops inside the shell to tether the screen mesh to, giving some headroom inside, however my 6ft height still has my head up against the screen when laying down likely due to my 4in air pad. And my 65L pack fits nicely in the vestibule. One critique come to mind. The tent comes with enough stakes to pitch but not enough to run the guylines, you'll need 3 additional stakes for that. The weight picture is with 4 additional aluminum stakes for this purpose, it's not that much added weight to include and you can get a dozen on here for under $20. Only other gripe I have is I wish the canvas was slightly longer so I can use the max length of my trekking pole to give a bit more headroom when laying inside. This may be resolved by running the guyline out to pull the canvas a little more. Overall I'm impressed by the material, weight, packed size when I ditched the original pouch and get a dry compression bag, and how it comes with locking cams to make the lines snug. Highly recommend whether new to backpacking or looking to refine your gear.

Love it. Easy to set up, easy to pack. Stays dry. Construction seems good, better than cheap Walmart tents. Keep in mind that it's not going to work for really tall/large people and it can't be set up on hard ground, like all tents of this type. But that's not the tent's fault.

Too short in height once air mattress in tent

I wouldn't want to put this tent up after hiking all day. Size is good but I am 5'2 and have to sit in the middle for it not to hit my head. I lurked on this tent for a long time reading every review... thats why I bought it... I wouldn't trust this tent to last for any extended period of time. People say it's easy to go up...kind of but again, I wouldn't want to set this up after backpacking all day. The material is questionable.. one sharp edge of anything and you will have a hole. Consider cutting weight somewhere else

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.

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.

Came in on time and and packaging was good

I was really happy with this tent. It takes up no rooms and is super light, without having to spend loads It rained all day/night and I was pretty nervous but the tent was completely fine. No condensation at all either. It was 10C outside and just the right temperature inside with a good sleeping bag It does take a bit of time to set up (maybe 20 mins my first attempt), mainly constantly tweaking all the stakes etc. The mesh inside hangs pretty low which seems a waste of space and I'm hoping to fix that. I'm 5'3 and it was low for me (basically no sitting up) but definitely long enough. Best for backpacking in mild temperature when you don't have space/weight

Very fragile if you try to pull too tight to stop inner tent fly from collapsing. Would not recommend- didn’t last a week!

A barraca não tem luxo nem excessos. O grande benefício dela é a leveza, a um preço aceitável. Nunca tomou chuva real, mas testei com mangueira de jardim e resistiu bem aos esguichos de água. Fácil de montar e desmontar. Protege bem contra entrada de insetos.

This is a great tent. Really good for ultra light hiking. There was only two points. First is this tent needs a lot of ventilation to avoid condensation. I pegged it too low to the ground made the inside of the tent wet with condensation so when you pitch it, it needs good 6 inches clearance. Second thing is it's not that warm, but it does state its a 3 season and I took it in winter so I'm not marking it down for that. I would say you'd be fine with a 4 season sleeping bag or a sleeping bag liner. It keep the rain off really well and when the wind picked up it wasn't too bad. All in all it is great if your priority is low carry weight.

Pros: - Light weight - Uses your hiking pole - Durable tent stakes Cons: - Confusing to set up the first few times. The instructions are bad and there isn't a simple tutorial video on their site or youtube - Tent is two separate pieces - a tarp and the inner mesh section - Inner mesh section is separate from the tarp and connects in a way that drastically reduces the available headroom completely spoiling everything.
