17 oz full shelter that builds on the design of the Lunar Solo (almost to the point of copyright violations).

If I were in the market for a new tent, this one looks like a winner!!!

“HOI - That's where I learned of it.”

“Cool tent but at $275, price is a bit steep.”

“Nice.”

“It appears to be a nice unit. I'd like to see one in person.”

“holy cat crap! almost three-hundro! noooo thank you!”

“oh and it won't weight that much after you seam seal it.”

“That $275 is only a hundred more than their Spinn Twinn Tarp. That spinaker cloth does cost more, is lighter, more water proof and doesn't stretch and sag as much as silnylon. The Squall Classic they sell also is made of the spinaker cloth and cost more than Tarptents.”

“So less of a need to re-tighten The One compared to the Lunar Solo?”

“only a hundred more eh? spinaker cloth is very noisy in the wind and rain... like a snare drum.”

“It looks like a cross between the Lunar Solo and Lunar Duo.”

“I like the looks of it, but I will stay with my Hubba for now.”

“If I hiked more, I would get it”

“My noisy home made spin tarp and lite bivy w/patches on patches will do for $275. I could replace the 1.1oz bivy bottom in an hour and a half, but it only takes an hour and a quarter to find and patch the holes.”

“If only the One was the Two! Why never a nice roomy two man that's lightweight?!
The Duo is about all there is. =(”

“I hear ya sass!!! those one mans are tiny......might as well just stay in a bivy.”

“bear creek sports on ebay selling 3lb kelty crestone 1 for $65 good deal for the price”

“I thought I would make ONE of these out of 1.3oz per yard silnylon I have. I get on the site and get all measurements and go through the video and pictures to copy the design and got down pretty much to materials when I realized why this thing cost $275. This tent has a half mile of seams to put together and a SeAmingly unending number of parts. Seam sealing would take another day and with 1.3 oz. would finish at 26 oz..”
