The North Face Dyad 22 is a non-freestanding single wall ultralight tent and is one of the many items in the Flight Series. Although The North Face states that this is a 2-person tent, it, in my opinion, is the perfect 1-person tent because there is simply no room for that second person. Room enough for 1 plus gear.

The Dyad 22 withstood heavy wind gusts during an overnight test on the Metacomet Trail. My evaluation is as follows. It is simple and fast to set-up and easy to get in and out of and very comfortable to sleep in. The design and quality of the materials of this tent is superb as with all North Face products. I highly recommend this tent to anyone who is seeking a roomy ultralight tent for one person.

I purchased this tent at The North Face store in Boston "which carries the entire selection of The North Face Flight Series gear and clothing" and I am very pleased with this purchase. It is worth noting here that if you love North Face products, then this is the place to go.
