From Backcountry.com:
"The MSR Skinny One Tent puts a whole new spin on the solo camping thing. Basically, it doesn't have to be cramped and uncomfortable. This sub-three-pound tent provides a spacious 15sq feet of sleeping room and a large vestibule to keep your gear out of the rain as well. MSR used a single-wall SilNylon design to lower weight and decrease pack size. You also get a few extra guy-out points for better support if the weather turns out to be a bit nastier than you expected."

"I was in the market for a solo tent to use when out by myself or with a party of 3, that was comfortable, relatively light, weather resistant, and reasonably priced. The Skinny One met all of my criteria.

PROS - At 5' 11" and 230 lbs this tent is more than roomy for me."
