Tungsten Tent: 1-Person 3-Season

Great tent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this tent for 3 weeks in Colorado and also multiple shorter camping trips. Very nice tent has never let me down. It even withstood 6 inches of snow the one night.

I wish I had several trips report, but I only have one night under my belt with it so far. I did set it up at home to make sure I knew how to do everything quickly. I love how easy it is to set up. It is my first backpacking tent and I wanted to get the most space I could and also have something that could be freestanding without the fly…just in case. The top rainfly vent was more sturdy than some of the videos that I had watched, so it looks like that part is been improved. The zipper door entry felt somewhat awkward. I am short and it seemed like it did j not go quite far enough over. Maybe I’m just too used to having the big the doors. I like to put my head opposite of the end I come in, so the little pocket there didn’t do much for me. I bent one of the stakes with a rubber mallet. I plan to buy some different ones from another top end manufacturer. Once you tie the guy lines out, I don’t think this tent is gonna go anywhere. I bought this as an intro for myself to pass down to my scout. I had a hard time deciding between the one person or the two person. Since the one person only has the one door, it felt like you had wasted space on the backside of your tent vestibule area. You could put things under it and then tie it out. I might even check out the two person when I had this one down to him. I was very impressed with the quality of the fabric and the mesh. I feel like it will be around a long time. I can’t wait to actually take it on a backpacking trip.

Hunting Tent

Bought this for a backpack hunting tent on a budget. Tent is easy to put up. It will keep you dry in a storm I tested that. Plenty of vestibule space for boots and pack. Plenty of room for cooking inside and you. Weight was not a major concern to me. Losing a lb wasn?t worth the price to me. Only thing I don?t like are how long the poles are collapsed. They don?t pack well. This is why I give 4 star.

Been great till now

I bought this tent last June in Australia for a 2 week through-hike and it worked perfectly. I've subsequently used it for a 6 day and 2-month hike here in Australia. No problems at all till recently. I pitched the tent as normal. No high winds or rain. When I removed the fly sheet one of the pole sections split at the joint - simply cracked and gave way along joint. I used the included pole repair sleeve. No dramas. Pitched it again, as normal, but careful with the sleeve in place, no wind. Next morning the next segment failed at joint. Not sure what happened to the poles after nearly 15 months of perfect service. Maybe I just got a faulty pole. Now trying to find replacement sections to repair myself. That said it's been a great tent till recently.

Nice looking, easy set up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchase this tent for use on the AT hike 2022. The tent arrived on time. I set the tent up (easy). Crawled inside, added gear and mats & laid inside. The tent was cozy not claustrophobic. The tent is very lite weight. Everything was easily reached from sitting position. I have not used in any bad weather but soon it will be put through the test.

Quality product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this tent around 3 or 4 years now. It's held up great and been just the right size for me when I'm solo. I liked it so much I also bought the 3 person for when my wife comes along. I've had zero issues with either tent and the design is simply better than others in the same price point.

Great Overall

Great and roomy well made 1p tent. Only issue is how close the zipper opening of the rain fly gets to the tent mesh when opening, allowing moisture to transfer to mesh when exiting the tent.

Great Tent!

Great tent! First setup was just before some heavy rain, and it stayed completely dry on the inside. I would recommend this tent to anyone looking for a quality solo tent!

Great weight and value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent a good deal of time researching ultralight tents for backpacking and bikepacking. This tent weighs only a bit more than the "ultralight" models I looked at, at nearly half the cost. Looks to be more durable too. Packs very small. I haven't tried it in the field yet but setup at home was easy and the fit was comfortable (I'm 6'1").
