Our Verdict

The Gossamer Gear “The One” tent stands out as a commendable ultralight shelter option for solo backpackers and thru-hikers seeking a balance between weight savings and functionality. Its single-wall design, utilising a ripstop Polyurethane fabric coated with silicone, which offers impressive durability and weather resistance while keeping weight to a minimum.

The tent’s spacious interior comfortably accommodates one person and gear, with ample headroom for sitting up. It’s a simple setup, using trekking poles as support, so you must adequately stake out and tension The One for optimal performance. The adaptable set-up means in foul weather, the tent can be pitched lower for better protection, and in fair weather, the tent can be pitched higher, improving airflow.

While “The One” tent excels in many aspects, it’s important to note that its ultralight construction prioritises weight savings, as the tent is single skin condensation, which can be an issue. However, those who wish to shed every gram will appreciate the trade-off.

Overall, the Gossamer Gear “The One” tent earns praise for its exceptional blend of lightweight design, durability, and functionality, making it a top choice for solo adventurers seeking to minimise their pack weight without compromising shelter quality
