Sierra Designs Velox 1 Ultralight 1-Person Tent
Best value single person tent.
By treklite
Ranked #48 - 3-Season Tents
October 31, 2008
The SD Velox 1 is WIDER than the MSR Hubba, has MORE HEAD ROOM than the Marmot Eos 1, and it WEIGHS ABOUT THE SAME as both the MSR and Marmot. The SD Velox 1 has tapped floor seams--the MSR DOES NOT.
The Velox 1 tent is the only lightweight single person, tent that will have all the features that you want. One wall of the tent is single-walled, the rest are double walled, so this would even make a better winter tent than either the MSR or Marmot, because you can pitch the single wall in the wind and cut down on drafts. The Velox 1 pitches tight and taught as well.
