Marmot Tungsten UL 1P

A great lightweight solo tent.

I own numerous solo tents, I keep going lighter and smaller, and this tent is great. It weighs a little over 2 1/2 lbs, and packs down very small. I carry its parts seperately, and compress the body and fly into a Sea to Summit ultra-sil compression sack.

The tent has a bathtub floor, and completely mesh upper. It has a vent, a headlamp lampshade pocket, and mesh storage pockets. The vestibule (8.75 sq ft) holds a pack and other gear next to a D shaped door. The poles are pre-bent on the tent's front side to add living space, and the poles and tent body are color coded for easy set-up in the dark using a headlamp. The interior height is 38 inches. I am 6'1" and can sit up, and change clothing in the tent with no problems.

To cut weight, I always upgrade to MSR stakes. I carry Mini-Groundhogs for the tent body, and Groundhogs for the guy lines. I carry nine stakes. I made guy lines out of Paracord Planet 1.8 mm reflective cord and Zephyr guy line tensioners. I carry 5 guy lines. The tent's only design flaw is the lack of guy line loops at the tent's ends, which can cause condensation to wet the tent's mesh ends in heavy rain, but that shouldn't be a problem for anyone 6'2" or under. 

I added a footprint. The materials are delicate, and the weight is minimal. 

Overall, the Tungsten Ul 1 is about the least expensive ultra-light solo tent on the market. It's freestanding and packs down very small. 

Experience

I have solo backpacked over 100 nights since 2015.
