Cons

Our Take:
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

The Hubba NX 1 by MSR is a great option for solo hikers looking for a relatively large single person tent with excellent protection from the elements that also packs down light.
This tent is a good “all-rounder” that performs well under inclement weather and provides spacious accommodation for how little it weighs.
However, it is a bit pricier than we would like it to be, considering some of the other tents in its class that offer similar features for less money.
