Solo Tents

When you’re going it alone, you need a non nonsense tent that’s easy to carry, easy to erect; and guaranteed to keep you warm. You’ll be looking for feather light poles, minimal construction features and optimal ergonomic design features. You won’t have to look very far. Tailored solo tents are available for all requirements and all types of user; from hardened veterans to holiday resort campers.

Solo campers can find it hard to get the right balance between too much tent space – and too little. In the past, single berth tents had the dubious honour of being little bigger than a sleeping bag; not just too small to swing a cat, but claustrophobic too. At the other extreme, while a roomier tent might seem like a good idea, it’s just empty space to fill and invariably, harder work to construct. Neither of which are advantages in cold climes!

Fortunately today’s tent market is better geared to the solo explorer. Whether you opt for a bivouac style for maximum space efficiency – narrow at the legs and head high at the entrance; or a more conventional design, the solo tent is designed for solo use. (As opposed to a bigger tent that’s simply been scaled down.)

As a solo traveller you’ll prize the lightweight construction and convenient assembly. Some sinlge berth tents can be assembled using just four pegs in favourable conditions. Moreover, with simultaneous inner and outer pitch design, you’ll likely spend just as much time sorting out your sleeping bag as putting your tent up!

Going solo doesn’t mean going back to basics. Your solo tent should offer all the same protection from the elements and protection from wear as the largest expeditionary tent. More than that, it should be designed with your individual needs in mind.
