The Luxe Tempo 1 Person Tent is a high-performance tent perfect for the solo backpacker looking for a durable tent with decent space that can withstand harsh weather conditions.

This 4 season tent will serve you year round, including the cold months of winter.

It’s perfect for the solo, cold weather lightweight backpacker weighing only 3.3 pounds.

You get 2 doors and 2 vestibules so easy entry/exit, plenty of space to keep gear and a good amount of fresh air flow in and out of the tent, even with the rain fly on.

The rainfly is weather rated with 20-Denier 360T Rip-stop Silnylon along with 5000mm silicone coating.

This pairs especially well in wetter, cooler weather with the built-in canopy rated at 210T Breathable Polyester.

The floor is fully waterproof with taped 210T Ripstop Polyester with 8000mm PU coating.

Remember to throw down the 210T PU coated polyester footprint that comes with the tent and you’ll preserve this Luxe Tempo 1 for years to come.

Despite the high waterproofing the 2 doors and 2 vestibules help create plenty of ventilation so it will still work in the warmer months.

Also at 4 pounds, this tent is on the more lightweight side for 4 season tents.

Definitely one of our favorite in the single person tent genre.

The Teton Sports Mountain Ultra Tent offers a range of sizes from 1-4 person tents.

We reviewed the 1 person and it we found it to be a very reliable lightweight tent.

It clocks in at just over 3 pounds on the trail, 4 and a half pounds packed with everything.

The Mountain Ultra Tent will work for the trail or biking. Even with the lightweight, you get a lot of room inside, enough for a tall person with gear along with 2 vestibules for extra storage space.

Without the rainfly, the tent is made up of durable micro mesh fabric for a fully ventilated 360-degree view experience, but even with the rain fly on there’s still air ventilation at the top to keep the air flowing even during rain or sleeping.

Extra-high waterproof bathtub floor is made of strong 150D Oxford canvas for ultimate water protection.

The tent held up very well to rain and wind and setup couldn’t be easier.

The yellow was a bit much, but we weren’t camping at a fashion show so it was ok.

The Winterial Single Person Tent is a nice tent for the lightweight solo backpacker. It packs down to just under 4 pounds so it won’t put too much strain on your back.

It can withstand the wind and the rain fairly well.

There’s a small vestibule on the side that will protect your shoes or boots, but not big enough for a pack.

With the rainfly off the walls are mostly mesh and provide excellent air circulation.

The setup is also very simple with only a 2 hoop design utilizing lightweight aluminum poles that simply snap together.

There is some staking involved, so if you’re new to backpacking this could be a challenge, otherwise experienced backpackers will find it fairly easy.

Keep in mind that taller backpackers over 6 feet won’t fit in this tent. 5’11 is about as tall as you’re going to get.

Our main complaint is the lack of ventilation that allows condensation to build up.

This also can work as a bivy, but definitely one of the better 1 person tents out there.

If you’re small it could maybe even fit a 2nd.

The ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1-Person Tent is one of the best 1 person tents on the market today.

This lightweight tent keeps pounds off your back weighing in at 3-4 pounds while providing enough shelter through even the worst rain and light snow.

The Lynx 1 person tent also includes a free-standing, lightweight aluminum 2-pole infrastructure which makes setting up easy for even beginning backpackers.

The floor is bathtub style meaning it angles up a few inches off the ground which helps keep any water underneath the tent from seeping in.

Pair this feature with the 75D 185T Poly Taffeta coated at 2000mm and you get premium water protection at the base of this tent.

The seams are factory sealed around the nonmesh part to protect from any rogue rain and wind. Inside you’ll stay dry and warm.

Keep in mind that this is a 3-season tent so it may not work best in the dead of winter, but the rain fly is extremely robust and will definitely hold up to late fall, early winter weather conditions.

The mesh walls make it perfect for warmer months and sets up fast and easy.

Perfect for the solo backpacker.

The Sierra Designs Flashlight left us with some mixed emotions.

We were very excited to try this 3 season tent as the design seemed unique and we were anxious to see what it could do in the wild.

It held up nicely in extreme weather but did leave a bit of condensation.

At just over 2 pounds the weight is nice and ultralight, and the 2 open sides with awnings are nice especially on warm/dry nights but we did run into some issues with clipping in the vestibule and one of the zippers.

The 88-inch length gives you more lounging space than many other 1 person tents and bivy sacks, and the 35-inch height on one side of the tent is a little more convenient than a peak height in the middle.

This especially helps if you get stuck inside due to bad weather or for just having the ability to change clothes.

If you get sideways rain, the water can soak the inside.

However, the tent floor is made from 30D Nylon Ripstop, water-resistant 3000mm polyurethane coating which ensures the wear and tear you’ll inevitably encounter.

Also for the price, you can get a much nicer, bigger tent. Not our favorite tent, but it may do someone out there well.
