Nemo Equipment Spike 1 Person Storm A-frame Tent Review

The Spike 1 Storm has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 6, which is a tiny bit more than the average height of the 79 other 1 person tents we have studied. With 19 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one can make a great choice for campers that love spending plenty of hours outside their tent getting some air.

A few of the great things about a-frame tents are, that they are under normal circumstances lightweight, making them easy to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the a-frame type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

A-frame tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most straightforward a-frame tent should have a square floor, slanted sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
