More info

SIX MOON DESIGNS Lunar Solo Tent - is a lightweight and compact 3 season solo tent with a good size sleeping area and vestibule, ideal for ultralight backpackers. It’s so small, light, easy to set up, and the interior space is amazing!

The Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo is a very well designed, it performs all the functions of a tent (protection from the elements, bugs, etc.), at the weight of a tarp.  

The Lunar Solo is constructed with 100% Silicone coated Polyester material which results in reducing packed volume, polyester will not sag as much as silnylon when wet and the weight has been reduced to a great 680 grams.
Manufacturer has also made the main guy line a reflective cord and guy outs for the corners are also now reflective.    

The Canopy is 20D material and the floor has been constructed with 40D material for additional strength.

The Lunar Solo's distinctive low hexagonal shape easily spills the wind no matter the direction. Short, steeply sloped sides, handle snow or high winds with ease. A generous canopy covers a 26 sq. ft. sleeping area plus 8.5 sq. ft. of vestibule storage. The 48" peak height, set in the middle of the tent maximizes room for sitting and taking care of chores.

The sleeping area is a surrounded 6-inch deep bathtub floor, topped by 6 inches of mesh. This ensures excellent ventilation while keeping you separated from low canopy walls. This keeps you drier on those occasions when condensation forms on the canopy.
The vestibule is set on the long side of the tent to maximize views and ventilation when fully open. Close it and you've got phenomenal protection from the worst storms.

A 2012 redesign raised the canopy up to 122 cm and offset the pole. The result was considerably more headroom. Extending the floor to 229 cm and making end walls vertical enhances sleeping for taller individuals. The slight reduction in floor space is more than compensated for by better weather handling. With more vertical walls, the Lunar Solo easily sheds wind and snow.

The Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo is an excellent shelter for an extended backpacking trip for ultralight backpackers.

Lunar Solo was awarded Editor's Choice Gold Award by Backpacker magazine as "The Best Gear of the Year".

"A 122cm (48 inch) tall peak height was good enough for our 188cm (6’2”) tester to change shirt layers without brushing the walls, and there’s space inside for all the gear you don’t want to store in the 0.8 m² (8.5 ft²) vestibule."

Seams aren't sealed. We recommend to use GEAR AID Seam Grip SIL seam sealer to achieve complete waterproofness. We do not offer seam sealing service at this time. It is important to note that seam sealed products can no longer be returned within 30 days. However, the product is still under warranty.
