The North Face Solo 12 Tent 1-Person 3-Season
ALMOST Perfect?!

Ranked #8 - Tents

Well. The tent is light and will hold up to the elements. More roomy than a solo bivy, which is nice if you want a little space to sleep. However, at 6'2", it is a tight fit for lenght. Great head clearance. Beter than the Particle 13.
DOWNSIDE: It doesn't breath at all. even with the vents open. Even after a low humidity night it must have been raining inside. You might as well sleep under the stars if good weather a bugs will permit.
So its use is limited to the thundershowers that soak everything or very wet climates.
