1 Person Tent Reviews and Deals

Are you looking for reviews and deals on a 1 person tent? Well, you've come to the right place. This article will tell you about some of the most popular and highest rated solo tents available today.

Before buying a 1 man tent, be sure and decide what weather conditions you might be encountering. You want to choose the right tent for the right situation. A 3 season tent will serve you well during spring, summer, and early fall - but might not hold up to heavy snow and extreme freezing temperatures. If you see yourself camping in extreme winter conditions, then you really should go with a 4 season tent.

Eureka Solitaire Tent - This 1 person, 3 season tent is a great choice for the backpacker who wants to carry as little extra weight as possible - it weighs only 2 lb. 9 oz. It sets up quick and easy with 2 poles, pole pockets and ring and pin. It is not freestanding, so you'll have to stake this tunnel design tent into the ground. The floor space is 2 feet x 8 feet (21 square feet) and the headroom is 2 feet 4 inches. Reviewers found it to large enough to sleep in (even for people over 6 feet tall), but very little room for anything else. Most people have to store their gear outside. They also found it a challenge to get in and out of. Many reviews found it held up well to rain and wind, but there were a few problems with the fiberglass poles reported.

Eureka Solo Spitfire Tent - This 3 season tent allows plenty of floor space (over 18 square feet) and head room (40 inches) for one person - with some room left over for gear and wiggle room. The side door makes entry and exit very convenient and the weight (2 lb. 12 oz) makes carrying it in your backpack fairly easy. There are plenty of mesh panels throughout the tent for plenty of air flow and circulation during the hot summer months, and the bathtub floor keep the seams well off the ground for maximum dryness. It is easy to put up and take down with the side release buckles. The storage vestibule is over 4 square feet for boots and a couple of extras. Most reviewers found it roomy enough for all but the largest campers - with a little space left over for gear storage. There was much praise for its ability to stand up to rain and winds - and there were few complaints of moisture getting inside the tent.

Reviewers found it to be plenty roomy - and some reviewers were well over 6 feet tall.

Hilleberg Akto - This heavy-duty 4 season, 1 person tent will keep you protected in the harshest of climates with its combination inner and outer tent system. The inner and outer tents can be linked and unlinked depending on the weather conditions. There are vents at both ends of the inner tent for great air circulation and they connect to a vent in the outer tent kind of like a chimney. It weighs 3 lbs, 5 oz; has over 18 square feet of floor space; 3 feet of headroom; and an over 8 square foot storage vestibule. Reviewers found it to be extremely easy to set up and take apart. It provided great protection from even extreme weather conditions. The inside is plenty roomy for a grown adult, with a little room left over. The only real negative I could find in the reviews were that it was a little on the heavy side - but that's to be expected from a heavy-duty 4 season tent.
