    Love it. Perfect for me and the pup.

    I've had this tent for about a year now, and I adore it. Getting a good pitch takes some practice, sure, but I can now do it without a single stake on uneven ground using just rocks when conditions dictate—and that particular setup got through a night of rain and howling wind without issue. I've been through a few long high mountain thunderstorms with this tent now, and as long as you do a good job sealing the seams, it's great. Some condensation, especially when it's actively raining, but the excellent airflow in the tent keeps things dry a majority of the time, and the bathtub bottom works like a charm.

    Very sturdy. Plenty of room for my long/large sleeping pad, a 60 lb dog to have her own bed, and all my stuff inside the tent, and it's got a massive vestibule. I highly recommend guy-lining the head and foot areas up and out when you can.

    I use the single carbon fiber pole from SMD, not a trekking pole. I very rarely use a footprint of any kind, and the floor is holding up great. I had to replace the line on the tent recently because it was getting beat up and breaking due to using sharp rocks as anchor points. That was quick and easy to do.

    Overall, a great tent that I expect to see many more years and trail miles.

    Love this tent!

    Just thought I’d leave a review since I’m on year 6 with my lunar solo! I’ve taken it to Algonquin park, New Hampshire, Temagami, and crownland camping. It’s an amazing shelter. Highwinds and heavy rain all night and always stayed dry. Never an issue with this tent. Zippers still work, seams never tore. I camp with a dog or 2…pretty tight in this tent but dogs are rough on gear and this tent has help up for 6 years. I’m currently looking at buying the lunar duo for a bit more space now. I should note also that I’m kinda rough my gear as well. Great product.

    GREAT LIGHT TENT

    I specifically bought this tent to replace a heavier 2 person tent that I have been backpacking with. The very first night camping in the tent we had strong winds and snow! The tent did awesome! The one thing I did learn was to make sure you put the tent on very flat ground, otherwise the floating bathtub kinda slides down hill LOL. Looking forward to many more backpack trips with my Lunar Solo!
