The Fernlight 1 is for the trips where every gram counts and you are happy to trade a little comfort for it. It uses one of your trekking poles as its main support, set at 125 cm, so there is no tent pole to carry at all.
It is a single-wall design: the outer fabric, mesh inner and bathtub floor are sewn together, so it goes up in one piece in a few minutes. The floor is 210 × 80 cm, which fits one person and a small pack inside, with a short porch for boots.
- 780 g packed, 34 × 11 cm
- Needs 1 trekking pole and 6 pegs (sold separately)
- 20D silnylon, 3,000 mm hydrostatic head
Honest limits: single-wall shelters gather condensation on still, damp nights, and you will brush it with your sleeping bag. Carry a small cloth. It is not freestanding, so it needs ground that takes pegs, and it is not for winter.
