Altair One Ultralight Trekking Pole Tent

Normally I'd be in a hammock, but needed a tent for a certain trip where hammocks weren't allowed. This was great! I put it together at home before taking it out, just to see how it went together before setting up at my destination. It goes up and takes down easy, all you need is a single trekking pole. (And a couple extra stakes, since it was two short. Not a deal breaker IMO) Ventilation is great, I didn't have any condensation the first night. On the second night, I did have some frost on the inside of the rain fly, but I believe that was only due to how cold it was plus the warmth of my breath inside the tent. I'd definitely buy again if something happened to this one, and I needed another tent.

Love it. Easy to set up, easy to pack. Stays dry. Construction seems good, better than cheap Walmart tents. Keep in mind that it's not going to work for really tall/large people and it can't be set up on hard ground, like all tents of this type. But that's not the tent's fault.

1P tents tend to be pretty claustrophobic and this tent is no exception. It is the lightest 2-walled tent you can buy for the money. We had a little backyard campout and deliberately left the sprinklers going in the middle of the night to test the rain-worthiness. It passed that test with flying colors. The ONLY gripe I have with the tent is the back wall opposite of the door. I couldn't get the rainfly to sit far enough away from the inner mesh, so when I sat up to cook or change my clothes, my back causes the mesh to push into the rainfly and get soaked from the condensation. The 2P version would probably solve this issue but cost the additional ounces.

Just had it out for the first time of a 3 days backpacking trip, and it rained the second night for a few hours, the tent kept me dray and held up well in the wind with the guylines tightened up. The material is high quality nylon, seams are taped and stakes are sturdy. I look forward to many more adventures with this one.

It's lightweight but needs lots and lots of stakes to get to stay tight. It's a pain to setup. I had to tie it to trees and hand made stakes because there are about 40 tie points and only 5 stakes. You have to install the rainfly when the tents down. Then lift them up at the same time with your trek stick... then move all your tie points and stakes around accordingly. It's very hard to keep it tight in high winds and rain. I noticed the first few nights it was 20 degrees or less the rain fly got alot of condensation on it and froze to my backpack. Its decent if your headed to the summit and need a quick emergency tent but this isn't fast or effective for backpacking in the mtns in my experience if you had to use it for an emergency youd havw to find lots of rocks or limsa to tie everything too and get it stabile. Other tents are way more effective and easy to set up and offer more room. This this is a casket and I'm only 5foot 9. I sent it back just not what I need for trekking mountains. It's just too time consuming to set up I need instant or under 2 minutes not 45...

Came in on time and and packaging was good

Very small for the weight. I am 5'10" and it is far too small for me. Easy to put up, but not built well. The zippers a garbage. I will not use it again after 4 sleepless nights in the woods.

This tent is impressive in its light weight and its build quality so it's apparent why so many people like it, but it's not perfect. I decided to review one to see why it's so great. In terms of weight, it's getting close to weight of dyneema tents for about 1/10 the price. It is also easy and quick to set up and requires just 6 stakes, although more might be required if it's really windy. I should mention that you can't set up just the inner mesh tent unless you rig a guyline at the front to hold up the hiking pole (which is not provided, as in almost all ultralight tents). When you set up the outer tent, it holds up the hiking pole so everything stays up. Being roughly cone shaped, it sheds both wind and water very well, although it didnt rain on the 2 nights where I tried it out. About the only problem I see is ventilation. If you zip it up fully, which is necessary when it's raining, it feels stuffy inside and tends to have a lot of condensation on the outer wall. None of it lands on you, as it easily slides down to the outer edge, but stil LOTS of condensation, even with the small "exhaust" opening on top duly guyed out. You can reduce this a bit by staking out the outer tent a little further so it gets better airflow, but that requires about 5 additional stakes. So like I said, not quite perfect but pretty close and amazingly well built for the price. None of the zippers snag, the outer zipper is waterproof, all the guy lines are attached so you don't lose them and it's very quick to set up. You can even set up the outer tent first really quickly if it's raining and then tkae your time to set up the inner tent from inside to stay dry. It's a little tricky but doable. Fantastic tent for just one person, and ONLY one person. Your gear has to go outside in the vestibule.

A barraca não tem luxo nem excessos. O grande benefício dela é a leveza, a um preço aceitável. Nunca tomou chuva real, mas testei com mangueira de jardim e resistiu bem aos esguichos de água. Fácil de montar e desmontar. Protege bem contra entrada de insetos.

This is a great tent. Really good for ultra light hiking. There was only two points. First is this tent needs a lot of ventilation to avoid condensation. I pegged it too low to the ground made the inside of the tent wet with condensation so when you pitch it, it needs good 6 inches clearance. Second thing is it's not that warm, but it does state its a 3 season and I took it in winter so I'm not marking it down for that. I would say you'd be fine with a 4 season sleeping bag or a sleeping bag liner. It keep the rain off really well and when the wind picked up it wasn't too bad. All in all it is great if your priority is low carry weight.

I was really happy with this tent. It takes up no rooms and is super light, without having to spend loads It rained all day/night and I was pretty nervous but the tent was completely fine. No condensation at all either. It was 10C outside and just the right temperature inside with a good sleeping bag It does take a bit of time to set up (maybe 20 mins my first attempt), mainly constantly tweaking all the stakes etc. The mesh inside hangs pretty low which seems a waste of space and I'm hoping to fix that. I'm 5'3 and it was low for me (basically no sitting up) but definitely long enough. Best for backpacking in mild temperature when you don't have space/weight

Pros: - Light weight - Uses your hiking pole - Durable tent stakes Cons: - Confusing to set up the first few times. The instructions are bad and there isn't a simple tutorial video on their site or youtube - Tent is two separate pieces - a tarp and the inner mesh section - Inner mesh section is separate from the tarp and connects in a way that drastically reduces the available headroom completely spoiling everything.
