1P trekking pole tent - Gossamer Gear The One

[GuyinIdaho]

I am looking for a lightweight 1P tent for summer and early fall. I already have a late season shelter. I would like a trekking pole set up and floor. For the price, Gossamer gear's "the one" seems to fit what I am looking for. They only downfall I can see is its a single wall tent. Does anyone have experience with this tent or have any other suggestions that are around this price point? $300
Thanks!

WTS - Gossamer gear the one

Bought this last year and used it on a couple trips. Super light tent. Comes with gossamer pole set. Has a very small hole in the floor (pencil diameter or smaller) it's covered on both sides with tenacious tape. Asking 250 plus shipping Will post pics when I get a chance.

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo, Zpacks Alta Plex, and the 3F UL Lanshan 1 are similar to the Gossamer Gear One in design and function if I remember correctly

Those options look similar. The gossamer gear is a 2 pole set up which should increase headroom.

Oops. I read that as a single trekking pole tent option. My apologies

No worries, still some good options to consider

I have used The One extensively. It is super spacious for a 1-man, sets up easy, and has been solid from a performance/durability perspective. If you understand the pros/cons of this style of shelter category, you should be really happy with The One as a top pick in the category.

Thanks Mark, first heard of this shelter through the podcast. Seems like a solid choice

@maxwellh86 is that a Deschutes in the background? If so curious on your thoughts/comparison of it vs the one, use of space, condensation, wind resistance etc. I have used the Deschutes a few times and overall foot print is good but the head room is pretty tight for me to love it. I am sure others would appreciate first hand comparison of the 2 as well.

That’s my buddies z-packs solo, dyneema. Pain in the ass to setup right, way less space inside and worse condensation. He said he wished he had saved the $300 and gotten the gossamer gear. IMO, it’s a great balance of weight, space, ease of use and durability. Do NOT know how it would handle the nastiest of weather yet though.
