Mountain Hardwear Stiletto 1 Tent 1-Person 3-Season

You could bring a bivy sack on your solo trip and be claustrophobic all night, or you could sleep comfortably in the Mountain Hardwear Stiletto 1 Tent. For only 2lb 8oz, this fully featured tent provides plenty of room for you and your gear, which is a lot nicer than a waterproof bag when you're sitting out a rainstorm. The key to the Stiletto Tent's low weight is Mountain Hardwear's 20D Hollow Core nylon fabric, which provides total weather protection for much less heft than regular nylon. Mountain Hardwear also added an extended center pole to this solo tent to increase vestibule space and allow plenty of room for out-of-the rain storage.

Bottom Line: Why cram into a bivy sack when you can relax in the Mountain Hardwear Stiletto Tent?

You do need to stake out the tent for it to stand.

Hi! I am 6'2" and 190 lbs with an athletic build, and

Hi! I am 6'2" and 190 lbs with an athletic build, and I am interested in buying a light-weight solo tent. I have looked around at a bunch of different ones, and am inclined to go with the MH stiletto. Does anyone have any opinions? My biggest concern is making sure that I will fit in the tent, from the above reviews I am not sure if I will or not. My other worry is that this is not a free standing tent, has anyone found this to be a major annoyance camping on rocky/frozen ground? Thanks!!!!!!

You might want to check out the Big Agnes tents, Fly Creek UL1, Seedhouse SL 1, Copper Spur UL 1, and Emerald Mountain SL 1. Fly Creek and Seedhouse you'd have to stake out to maximize the floorspace and keep the rainfly of the tent body and decrease condensation/increase ventilation, but both are freestanding. The Copper Spur and Emerald Mountain are both free standing and do not need to staked out. The Fly Creek and Seedhouse are both lighter, while the Copper Spur and Emerald Mountain will both be slightly heavier.

Well A guy below is 6'3" and 225 and he says he is comfortable so I would go with that although he might be used to cramped quarters. Other than that this is a solid tent-you definitely get what you pay for. I have the MH Sprite (which is not free standing either) and it can be somewhat annoying pitching it on rocky or super hard packed ground, but that is what hammers/nalgenes are for.

I have this tent and love it. Never used it in the rain but I am sure that when that happens. I have used it about 10 times and probably 18 nights. It sets up fast and I still fit at 6’3” 225. Its light and small so its perfect for me. The entry is nice and allows quick exit in the middle of the night incase you need to go to the bathroom. Its expensive but it works well and I feel that its worth it.

It's recommended. However, doesn't look to be currently in stock (6/15/09. Footprints are not typically included with the tent but If you can find it, it will be well worth it as you'll be protecting your new investment.

Im 6'2" and I was wondering if this tent will be a little cramped for me. It seems some other Mountain Hardwear tents are a little on the short side. Is it true for this one as well ?

a little math will help you with this problem. Even mountain hardwear's site says 15 square feet, so that is correct. But if you convert your inches to feet and multiply the two, you have a total of 12.27 square feet, 3 square feet short of the actuall. the web-site screwed up. convert 86 inches which is 7.1 feet long and multiply it by the width you will have your 15 square feet.
So there it is, it is really seven feet long by 2.16 feet wide. Which will be plenty long enough :)

It is 86" long not 68" - so you would have 14 inches of added length.

Alright with some math... if you lay diagonal you would have ABOUT (key word here...) 72 inches of space, which is 6 feet so this probably wouldn't work for you

It says the floor space is only 5'8" long, so you might be a bit squished.

Does the hollow core stuff have the same toughness as the regular

Does the hollow core stuff have the same toughness as the regular nylon?Is the 2lbs 8ozs the FULL backpack weight?

You will probably find a hollow-core nylon fly to be as tough as a regular fly during normal use... what ever that is. With that said, the fabric is used so the total tent weight is as light as physically possible not as tough as possible. If you want tough... you gotta add weight! 2lbs.8oz. includes tent, body, and poles.
