Nemo Equipment Spike 1 Person Ultralight A-Frame Tent Review

The Spike 1 Ultralight has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 5, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 79 other 1 person tents we have examined With 18 square feet of space inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a very nice choice for campers that like spending plenty of hours outside the tent exploring.

Many of the fantastic things about a-frame tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the a-frame type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

A-Frame tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The most basic a-frame tent should have a square footprint, sloped sides two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.
