Article Summary:

Tarptent, a California based company, manufactures the Moment. It is a simple tent with flooring, netting, and one entrance. It also includes one pole and two stakes. The entrance to the tent can be rolled back and secured with two nylon ribbons as seen in Fig. 1.

When the door is closed, it forms the vestibule where gear can be stored. The vestibule area has ample room at 6.6 ft2 (see Fig.s 2-3). Also, there is a plastic clasp that can be secured that prevents the door from unzipping (see Fig. 2).
