The Winterial Single Person Tent is a nice tent for the lightweight solo backpacker. It packs down to just under 4 pounds so it wont 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 wont 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 definately one of the better 1 person tents out there. If your small it could maybe even fit a 2nd.
