ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 1.0 1-Person 3-Season Tent - 2008

There are some serious benefits to tenting alone. For one, a single-person tent weighs a lot less than a two-person tent. You also don't have to worry about getting steam-rolled at four AM or warding off your homesick tentmate's wandering hands. At under four pounds, the Alps Mountaineering Zephyr 1.0 Tent barely affects the scales, but offers heavy-duty protection against bugs and wet weather. All-mesh walls guarantee ventilation during muggy summer nights, while the urethane-coated, seam-sealed fly blocks precipitation. Two aircraft-grade aluminum poles set up with simple clips and provide strong, lightweight stability.

Bottom Line: Sometimes it pays to sleep alone.

Is this tent really only 66 inches long? I mean unless you're like 5'2" tall that seems a bit limiting...

On Amazon someone says it's actually 86" long, not 66. So sholloman, you can confirm that it's truly only 66" long? You own one of these?

Does the fly sheet open on separate sides (zippered?) so that you can bring in a breeze or get out of a wind or avoid a one-sided rain while still regulating interior temperature. Being totally covered under a flysheet can be uncomfortable.

As you're looking @ the tent head on, the fly opens on the right side & turns 90 degrees left @ the top of the zipper.

Neat little tent, quality seems pretty good. Lots of little features (small gear loft, small window in vestibule, vent on rain fly). So obviously lots of value. Weight is pretty much on and it includes the guy out lines and all of the tent stakes.

Glad to pay less than a c-note for what the big boys are asking $200 for.

Although the set up is pretty self explanatory some more detailed instructions would be welcome. They are vague to say the least.

This may seem like a stupid question but I just came back from a very wet camping trip. So here goes, IS THIS WATERPROOF??? Especially on the bottom?

Yeah, polyurethane coated nylon = waterproof generally speaking. Your "wet" trip is probably attributable as much to condensation as it was to rain. When humidity is high outside the tent, it won't breathe well. This tent should however breathe well since it's got mesh walls.
