Two Person Backpacking Tent
Spacious. Secure. Ultralight. The Lunar Duo – Explorer redefines what a single wall, ultralight tent can be.
With an unsurpassed space-to-weight ratio, it’s no wonder the Lunar Duo - Explorer is affectionately referred to as The Backcountry Palace. The pitch design provides a lot of interior space, and that doesn’t even include the two vestibules. It’s the perfect tent for anyone looking for livability without greatly compromising weight.
*To completely repel water, shelters need to have sealer applied to the seams before use.
*Shelters including a seam sealing service may not ship immediately.
*Stakes and Support Poles Sold Separately

Three Words Describe the Lunar Duo:
✓ Spacious
✓ Secure
✓ Ultralight
This tent is at home in a campground as much as a top a windswept ridge and large enough for four adults to sit and play a game of cards. No matter how bad the weather, you can batten down the hatches for a comfortable nights sleep. Lunar Duo offers no compromises despite the fact that it’s less than half the weight of your traditional tent.
✓ 6-in mesh lining above the bathtub floor increases ventilation and keeps you further from the canopy walls, so you stay nice and dry.
Construction
The Lunar Duo offers the most interior room of any tent in its class and weight range. Dual curved poles located on either side create a unique arched roof. Combined with a tent height of 45 inches and width of 54 inches leaves so much interior space you've got room to spare.
With dual oversize vestibules, each person has plenty of weatherproof storage for gear. The Lunar Duo's two vestibules can be deployed to multiple positions. When fully open, it provides maximum cross ventilation, keeping you cool and those pesky mosquitoes at bay. They can be raised or lowered, ensuring that you can achieve the optimum configuration for the weather you're likely to encounter. The Lunar Duo's vertical sidewalls prevent rain falling into the tent.
Like all our shelters it is designed to be pitched with adjustable trekking poles or with our fixed length aluminum or carbon fiber poles (sold separately).

- KWKent W.Rated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoPlenty of room!
Purchased the Lunar Duo Explorer a year ago. Needed something lightweight, but with a larger interior because my wife and I are both tall. She's 5'11" and I'm 6'2". Tired of my head and feet touching the walls on most tents. Plenty of room in the Lunar Duo to stretch out. We've taken it on a few trips in the Cascades and Olympic Coast and it has proven to be a comfortable shelter. Condensation hasn't been a problem as long as I set it up to provide adequate air flow.
My solo tent is a Six Moon Designs Skyscape Trekker which I also purchased because of its length. It's also been a great shelter on a number of solo backpacking and backcountry bow hunting hunting trips.
- CNCullen N.Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoAmazing shelter
Took this on a 40km backpacking trip with the fiancée through Algonquin. Held up great against the high (30-35km gusts) winds and rain. Everything inside and around the tent was kept dry! Set up is very easy and can be done solo. This tent is everything you want out of a backpacking tent. It’s very light, durable, and sets up quickly and easy. Material seens very durable as well. Couldn’t be more happy with it so far. I’ve only slept in it a few nights, but will going to Killarney for a long trip again soon to put it to the ultimate test. I hope to have this tent for long time and so far it has exceeded my expectations. Great work, to all of you over at six moons.
- IINTIVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoLunar Duo is great (4.5*), with few exceptions
I purchased the Lunar Duo Explorer Backpacking Tent for a Sierra Nevada trip I just completed. The trip took me and my daughter up into the Ansel Adams Wilderness. The tent performed as advertised in terms of its compact, low weight design. This is my second Six Moons tent in the last 5 years or so. I also own a one person tent design that I use for solo backpacking or bikepacking trips.
Pros: This tent is great if weight is your primary concern. I opted for the 45" carbon fiber poles. I also purchased a Tyvek ground cloth. Because my daughter is a young teen, I was planning on carrying some extra weight around several shared items we would use on our trip, including the tent. I opted for this tent because of its weight to size ratio. The tent is quit roomy. It is rather easy to set up, although I noticed that each time I set it up it got a little easier and faster. It takes a little practice to get the tensioning across all tiedowns correct on the first try. This tent design allows for ample air movement when the side flies are unzipped. During our recent trip we experienced a couple of light downpours. The tent performed as promised keeping us and our stuff dry during the rain. I ended up sealing the tent myself, but am curious how different it would be it I had Six Moons do it before shipping. Either way sealing is important and strongly recommend doing so to ensure full performance.
Cons: This is not a self standing tent design. As a consequence,…
- KBKyllo B.Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoLight, big and cool.
Used this shelter on an overnight through arid badland backcountry at Grasslands National Park East Block in southern Saskatchewan. I set up this shelter to wait out the hottest part of the day in around 10 minutes with little practice. Ventilation is excellent and the shelter performs well as a sun shade in arid summer conditions when you need to conserve water. The shelter is easy to see from kms away for away-hikes in open terrain and performs well in moderately high winds with good anchors.
- JAJeff A.Rated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoThe Lunar Duo - Explorer tent is pretty awesome
I took this tent on a hiking trip with my son on the 4-Pass Loop trail in the Maroon Bells Wilderness Area in Colorado recently. The first night it rained pretty heavy together with some pretty good gusts of wind. This tent (although not setup entirely great by this first-timer) handled the conditions with ease, and we and our gear stayed dry all night. I was surprised by how much headroom and legroom (can stow extra gear and keep it dry) there was in the tent. My son & I are each about 5' 10". The tent is also pretty light and fits in the side ouch of the Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60 pack, which is pretty awesome.
It took us about 5 minutes to pitch once we got the hang of it. Although I'm sure it wasn't necessary, we used a an extra footprint just to keep the tent as pristine as possible.
I would recommend this tent to anyone that requires a lightweight 2-person tent, but still wants some of the extra features (dual doors, extra space / room, etc.)....Love it -- will use again.
