Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo Tent - Only 23 ounces
• Protects. . like a Tent
• Airy. . . . like a Tarp
• Lighter . . than a BivyThe Lunar Solo has been completely redesigned for 2012. With the canopy raised an additional 3" to 48" and the pole offset, the new Lunar Solo offers considerably more headroom. The floor was extended to 90" and the end walls made vertical. This greatly 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 Lunar Solo packs a tremendous amount of room, weather protection and features into its incredibly light 1.5 pound package.
Its 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 square foot sleeping area plus an 8.5 square foot 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 surrounded by a 6-inch deep bathtub floor, topped by 6 inches of mesh. The mesh 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 and door are 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.
