Description

The Sololite is a three-season tent made by REI. It has an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5), based on 3 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Ultra-lightweight and compact--a great solo tent for backpacking and bicycle touring. Two-pole design with locking pole tips enables fast, easy setup. UV-resistant, taut, polyester rainfly rolls back and attaches to rear hoop, opening up the view and increasing ventilation in good weather. Convenient integral vestibule provides space for wet or dirty footwear and gear. No-see-um mesh door, rear window, large ceiling panel and vestibule vent provide ample airflow, preventing condensation. Vestibule tighteners with ladderloc buckles make it easy to adjust the tautness. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Special buy."

"It's the perfect summer tent, lightweight and easily packed up. Can hold up to a good rainstorm or twelve when fully staked in, but condensation can be a problem during colder weather especially down by the feet. It tends to sag in the middle so make sure to stake it in nice and tight."

I have thoroughly enjoyed using this tent. I have taken it with me in scout about 20 nights; only scar is a minor tear in the fabric. It is extremely light and packable as a backpacking tent. The tent has a reflective silver outside cover. Because it is not a freestanding tent, you have to put in the stakes before the tent will go up (this is an annoyance if you are on rocky soil or sand).

"This is a wonderfully light and inexpensive tent. Easy to set up, full coverage rainfly, and roomy vestibule. Better yet, the vestibule is attached to the tent body, rather than the fly, so you can use the vestibule for storing gear and still use the large mesh starview panel. I would recommend this tent to anyone."
