I was looking forward to trying out my new Mont Moondance one person tent for this weekend. The first thing i noticed was how light and compact it was. When packed up, it didn't take up much room in my pack so was great compared to my two person hiking tent.
Setting up the tent is a little more tricky compared to my two person dome tent. The central pole is lightweight and colour coded at the end. When slotting the poles into the tent eyelets, you have to remember to ensure the triangle slot is facing down as this is later attached to the tent. The fly is also colour coded as the ends of the tent differ in size, with the head end slightly larger. What amazed me was the tiny and lightweight size of the pegs - amazing.
The main vesitbule is small but has enough room for a pack, boots and cooking stove. The other vesituble is only accessible from the outside and smaller than the main vestibule, so is useful for items that doesn't require access from inside the tent.
Inside, the tent is airy with lots of mesh. You can unzip the entrance vestibule down to allow additional ventilation. On this trip i didn't have any condensation build up at all, and i think this is attrituble to the airyness of the vestibule. A potential concern might be how much splash back might occur during a rain event but i didn't get to test this out on this trip.
Overall a good one person three season hiking tent. Compared to other one person hiking tents I have seen, this one is spacious and sturdy.
