Sierra Designs Velox 1 Ultralight 1-Person Tent

The Sierra Designs Velox 1 Ultralight Tent makes a great pick for solo backpacking trips where you'd rather not deal with the drawbacks of a floorless shelter or lean-to. The full mesh sidewalls allow plenty of air flow without the risk of being eaten alive by mosquitoes as you sleep. Sierra Designs gave this freestanding tent a vestibule large enough to hold your pack and boots, so you don't have to start your morning with wet gear. The Velox 1 Ultralight Tent's combination of single- and double-wall designs helps shave its weight to only three pounds, and you can pitch just the fly with a footprint (sold separately) to shave a whole pound for really long trips.

Bottom Line: The Sierra Designs Velox 1 Ultralight Tent adds much-needed comfort to your solo backpacking trips.
