The North Face Solo 12 Tent 1-Person 3-Season

The North Face Solo 12 Tent 1-Person 3-Season description

The North Face Solo 12 one-person Tent gives you 18sq ft of room and only weighs about as much as a bivy sack.

Bottom Line: When you're cutting weight, but bivy sacks are just too tight, grab The North Face Solo 12 one-person Tent.

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.

bought it for a solo trip to patagonia. it's lightweight but very clammy and damp inside, especially not good if you have a down sleeping bag. i'm 5'4" and barely fit with my gear inside. it's very narrow at one end. single side door limits how you set it up (if you want your tent somewhat level you may be forced to face the door an undesirable direction). not freestanding. i bought mine on ebay and am going to sell it.
