Mountain Hardwear Ghisallo 1 Tent 1-Person 3-Season

The Mountain Hardwear Ghisallo 1-Person 3-Season Tent gives touring cyclists a superlight, easy-to-setup waterproof home away from home—with a garage for an upright bike. With only two poles, you can get the Ghisallo 1 Tent up in a jiff, and Mountain Hardwear added a cycle-specific vestibule where you can store your bike for security from inclement weather and nosy types.

  • Guaranteed watertight construction provides worry free wet-weather camping options
  • Pitchlight compatible: quick shelter system using only the footprint, poles, and fly that gives you near-instant protection from storms
  • 1 Dry entry vestibule; 1 Bike vestibule; provide shelters for your boots, bag, and an upright bicycle
  • Evolution Tension Arch is designed to save weight while maximizing space and ease of setup
  • 1 Mesh door and mesh walls provide ventilation and improves visibility; 1 Welded SVX window improves visibility and warmth retention
  • Reflective guy out loops and starter point improve nighttime setup, adjustment, or take down
  • Triangular and rectangular gear loft options give you the option to customize your shelter

Bottom Line: A new bike-savvy tent from the Mountain Hardwear Superlight range.

This is an amazing tent. The garage feature is a sweet feature to have. It is an amazing space to keep your gear dry, out of the weather, and out of sight.

Would recommend putting this tent up before you go out with it just so when you get out you know where the poles go and it will be a lot faster. As far as a 2 pole tent goes it is a very stable and strong design. The rain fly is kinda confusing the first time you put it on, but you'll get the hang of it fast. The small window in the rain flies door is a nice feature. The rain fly works amazingly, it truly is water tight. The tent has lots of mesh making it very breathable so that you don't have to worry about moisture or condensation. The tent is also very light and compact making it an amazing tent for backpacking.

The point is I would recommend this tent to anyone looking for a one person tent.

The moisture or condensation will occur on the fly of the tent (like all tents) but the mesh nature of the tent body allows for a ton of ventilation and great condensation mitigation. Enjoy!

No problems with moisture and condensation in moderate-high humidity. I haven't tried it in the rain though, but I doubt there will be problems.

Nice Tent.

Spider-silk weight fabrics and a clever asymmetrical design come together to make this a very special tent, that needs some attention to detail in setup.

For starters, let's get the obvious out of the way: The two poles are hugely different in size, and the long one looks bent. Put them in backwards,and you'll get nowhere. Once you do that, you'll find that the high pole takes a good bit of tension: this tension makes the entire structure pretty solid and strong, but worries me when pulling that mesh so tight. Same with the rainfly: Takes a little getting used to pulling it over to get it to set right. Tip: Poles always go under seams!

The arrangement where the poles clip in to the tent body is interesting, and I highly encourage setting this tent up at least once in daylight before you're fumbling with the headlamp. It actually makes a good bit of sense, it's just different.

Liveability? Great! It's a thin tent, with a whole lot of airspace inside, so condensation is less a problem than it should be, all and all, surprisingly capacious for you and the bike. Less garage-like than an MSR Velo, but 1/3rd the weight.
