Blow 1 Tent

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Compact, solidly built, and intuitively designed, the Blow 1 is a reliable solo shelter for fast-moving trips.

Ferrino says: 

Blow 1 is an ultralight one-person tent. Lightweight, comfy, and easy to set up. Designed to protect trekkers and cyclists wanting to travel and experience adventures with no limits.

Our Verdict

At 1223g and measuring 210 × 70 cm inside, the Blow 1 offers a snug yet functional space with decent headroom and just enough vestibule space for essential gear. Twin vents and an upper mesh door panel allow for good airflow, helping to keep condensation down, even on humid nights. The freestanding dome feels stable and supportive.

The freestanding dome feels stable and supportive, well-suited for spring through early autumn, thanks to its extended pole sleeves and a unique reinforcement crossbar, which handles wind well. The flysheet is made of silicone-coated 20D nylon (rated 2000 mm), with a 30D floor and reinforced corners

While not luxurious, it’s a tent that feels purpose-built for high-output days and solo objectives. For weight-conscious travellers who don’t want to compromise on structure, it’s a strong contender.
