Our take on the Ampex Ultralight 1-Person Adventure Tent

The Ampex Ultralight 1-Person Adventure Tent is a solo backpacking shelter that can be pitched several ways, from a stripped-down minimum-weight setup to a fuller configuration with a footprint. It accepts trekking poles for support, which keeps the packed weight down for hikers who already carry them. Against other solo trekking-pole tents, its main draw is the included footprint and the flexible pitching, while its single-wall-style design and pole dependency are the trade-offs. It suits weight-conscious solo hikers and bikepackers more than casual car campers.
