Does this tent require seam sealing?
- Yes, this tent utilizes 100% silicone-coated fabrics, which require seam-sealing with the included kit. Please read our buyer’s guide section on seam-sealing for more information and guides.

- Yes, or we have substitute poles that are available for purchase separately.

- Yes, this tent comes with apex lines pre-attached, and there are tie out points along the perimeter hem and side panels.
Is this tent stuffable?

Do I need a groundsheet?
- Probably not. 20D sil-poly is durable compared to many ultralight floor materials, and in most conditions, a groundsheet is just additional weight. A groundsheet is recommended for use on highly abrasive and/or sharp ground, such as on sandstone or when pitching on sharp rocks/sticks.
How do I avoid condensation?
- ALL tents suffer from condensation in the right/wrong conditions but there are steps you can take to limit it. Try to avoid camping overnight in cool, damp environments such as river valleys, meadows, marshes and next to water. If possible, choose an elevated campsite with a bit of a breeze and preferably under a tree canopy. Please refer to the Choosing a Better Campsite video to better understand how to avoid condensation.

I used it for my first overnighter and I already like it! Cosy, functional, efficient. I personally like that it is not as roomy as my X-Mid, but I still had enough space for the basics. What I really enjoyed is the view, having the side open is super nice.

Used for 3 weeks riding the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) Colorado and New Mexico sections Southbound from late May to Mid June. Set it up once in my backyard and then lived in it for 3 weeks…PRO LEVEL preparation here. For my use case (ride most of the day with a vague idea of where I’ll sleep and then pitch camp when I’m exhausted enough to sleep anywhere) it was excellent. At 6’ and 170 lbs this was a perfect fit for me on a standard 72×20 pad + some gear above and beside me. Used the Tarptent gear hammock/nest thing to stow and charge electronics while sleeping. If I was taller or wider it would still work great but I’d be more disciplined with what I bring into the tent and what I leave in the vestibule. Depending on the campsite and weather I used 4-8 stakes and occasionally some sticks to lift the additional guy outs if I was feeling fancy and wanted a little extra space. Easy setup after a few practice runs. Fit into some tight spots on the CDT section and random last minute wild camping. Got winded and rained on a couple times and stayed dry. Had the inevitable condensation that effects ALL TENTS, managed it like a PRO, and stayed dry. The small packed size/volume, ease of use, simplicity, relatively low weight, compact pitched footprint and ability to stuff it makes it a perfect fit for my style of bike travel. In my experience the “Pro” in the name implies the ability to manage condensation, pitch it appropriately for the conditions and a little forethought and discipline with my gear stowage habits all of which comes naturally after a bit of practice and experience. Anything less and I’d be hating life in a bivy/tarp setup, anything more and I’d be questioning my life decisions about carrying too much tent when I spend very little time hanging out in camp regardless of weather.

I just picked this up directly from Tarptent in Nevada City and WOW I love this tent so much. It is so well thought out. Easy to put up, good size foot print, feels like I will be protected from the elements if I got caught in a storm, good ventilation, roomy for me, and the right price. Great customer service allowing me to pick up on my way out to the mountains. Very happy with this purchase. Only thing I will say is I wish it came with a few more guy lines.
