Completely redesigned, the FirstLight Tent is Black Diamond's optimal shelter for serious mountain missions. It's still the lightest, most packable tent that Black Diamond builds, and it's been updated to maximize airflow while still minimizing weight. Black Diamond's new (patent pending) Flow Manifold technology allows interior heat convection and exterior airflow to draw moisture vapor out of the tent, so you don't have a crisp layer of frost on your sleeping bag every morning. Flow Manifold also allows for a central, ceiling exit for anchoring in on steep mountaineering expeditions. Made with Dyneema, the guylines are significantly stronger than the previous season's FirstLight, and the internal pole grips are reinforced for better longevity.

Great, lightweight 4 season tent.
Great, lightweight 4 season tent. Used it on Mount Adams in a storm and it held up well. Just wish it came already seam sealed!

Bombproof lightweight tent
A fantastic tent when used for its intended purpose. It's pretty tight for two, but very light weight and holds up well in bad condition. Highly recommend to seal the seams which adds a lot of waterproofness

From Bike Touring to Living in Nepal
If I'm not on a bike tour somewhere in the world, I am more than likely at my home in Nepal or Colorado. I am always on the lookout for a lightweight well-made, high quality, self-standing and weather proof tent. Yes, I use this while on my bike and when away from home in either the U. S. or Nepal, I find it extremely useful to have this tent sitting in the bottom of my pack ready-to-use at a moment's notice. When I let people know that I don't need my own room, I'm suddenly an invited guest! I am a huge supporter of Bibler/Black Diamond tents and have used several models extensively around the world for decades.

Great for car camping
I'm pretty much just a weekend warrior and go car camping. I used it when the weather dropped around 50°f and was pretty comfortable. The only issue I have is I wish it was an inch longer or I could stake out the back of the tent and pull it back some my. I'm 6ft 1 and I have no extra room between my head and the tent.

Fills all of my needs
Great tent, set up is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Extra canvas in the corners are great for preventing tent poles from punching through. I would definitely recommend it.

NOT WATERPROOF AT ALL.
I attempted a Mt. Baker/Kulshan summit on 6/26. It started raining when we got back to Hog's Back (basecamp) at around 11am. By 11:30, the tent had started leaking from the seams/poles (since they're on the inside). Water was dripping down on my face while I was napping, which is why I noticed. The rain stopped at around 1/1:30pm, but started back up at around 5. It rained from 5pm, through the night, and into the next morning. When I woke up at 7am, everything in my tent was wet. I mean everything. My backpack, my sleeping bag, my shoes... It was all soaked through. There were multiple puddles on the ground of the tent. I luckily had a dry bag with a few items of clothing and my big puffer, so I could put some dry layers on before heading back to our cars that morning. I would not have been able to stay another day on the mountain in the condition that the tent and my personal items were in. Another individual in our group had the same tent and experienced the same issues (not waterproof, woke up next to puddles and wet personal items), so this is clearly not an isolated experience or a single, defective tent that was sold to me. How can Black Diamond, in good conscience, say that this is a four season tent? It's not at all. Please do better. Seal the seams on this tent before selling it to people who are planning on using it in potentially extreme weather conditions.

the industry standard
this is still the gold standard bivy tent for climbers - light, weatherproof enough for most of the times you are actually out trying to climb something, and cheap enough to thrash. super quick and easy to pop once you do it a couple times. of course if you're over 6, then you're definitely touching foot and head unless you can sleep diagonally - which is a palace for one. BD - make a firstlight with longer dimensions please.

Great tent
Have a first light that is now about 10 years old. The poles have finally lost their elasticity but it’s a decade old. Have used in temps down to 30. Never leaks. Does get a little condensation when 2 are using it. By myself it does better. It’s a tight squeeze for 2 people but it keeps it light and simple. I can pitch this tent in about 5 mins and pack it away just as fast. You won’t regret spending the money on this one.

The worst tent
In cold climates, you wake up with an incredible amount of water inside your tent, in snowy climates, that water turns into ice, and you literally have a blanket of ice on top of you at dawn.
