GOSSAMER GEAR The One - is the best ultralight single-walled solo shelter for the competitive price. Weighs only 502 g (17.7 oz). It has a spacious interior featuring mesh bug netting, bathtub floor and excellent ventilation to help prevent internal condensation. 

The One is made with an ultralight SilNylon fabric and use a UTS (Ultra Tear Strength) coating that actually increases tear strength. UTS offers the waterproofing benefits of a traditional polyurethane coating, but as the name implies, increases a fabric’s tear strength significantly.

It comes factory seam-taped, so does not need to be seam sealed. It has a tarp style design with single entrance and vestibule. The One also features a clothesline at the top of the tent, great feature that you can use to dry damp clothes or hang a headlamp from to light up the tent at night.

You will need two adjustable trekking poles (or two custom length carbon or aluminum poles that can be purchased separately) for set up and minimum of 6 stakes (+ additional 4 stakes if you also stake out the floor). Aluminum stakes in quantity of 8 pcs are included.

For those who prefer lightness of single-walls with sewn-in bug netting. 

If you love to backpack solo and want to go light, we recommend The One for you! The manufacturer also offers this tent in a larger version as 2-person shelter GOSSAMER GEAR The Two.
