Article Summary:

The Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo tent is a single wall tarptent-like shelter using a single trekking pole with smart features like mesh full-perimeter sidewalls for ventilation, a self-equalizing guyline system that keeps the pitch taut through a cold night, rain, or snowfall, and a huge vestibule with a large awning that can be dropped for storm protection or fully raised for incredible views. All this for 1.5 pounds? We put the Lunar Solo through the ringer of high mountain rain, wind, and snow, and discuss its performance as related to storm resistance, wind resistance, and condensation resistance, as well as a detailed feature summary and usability discussion. This review discusses its key features, including: detailed specifications and photos, ease of setup, usable features/options, weight and sizing, flexibility of pitching, usable space, and field observations related to stability, storm protection, ventilation, condensation resistance, insect protection, durability. In addition, comments about the tent's value and recommendations for improvement are provided.
