I bought this tent in September of 2016. I used it about 6 times. Nothing is wrong with the tent or the poncho. Description: The Hexamid Solo is a six sided pyramid style tent for an average size solo hiker. It has fully enclosed screen, a detachable bathtub floor for versatility, and storm doors for 360° rain protection. Features:
Sets up with just one trekking pole or walking stick (not included) adjusted to around 48 inches (122 cm), and a minimum of six stakes. Eight stakes are recommended (not included). Ample space for one average size person plus gear. The tent is long enough for an average size person to fully stretch out their arms and legs, and tall enough to sit upright. A 6 foot (1.83 m) tall person would have about 17.5" (45 cm) of vertical height at the ends of their head and feet when laying down.
A pair of storm doors protect the front of the tent from rain spray. The doors overlap in front, you never have to worry about a broken zipper. They clip down to the front center guy line, or roll up out of the way. Leave one or both doors open for air flow when the weather allows it. You can also use the doors for vestibule space.
Great ventilation, and a great view through the large screen entryway. 6" (15 cm) of screen around the perimeter allows air flow. The bathtub floor is set back from the screen walls. You can leave both storm doors open in the rain for air flow, unless spray is blowing directly at the front of the tent.Our Hexamid tents are unique in that they have a fully enclosed screen floor which keeps 100% of insects, spiders, ticks, etc out!This Hexamid tent includes a separate waterproof bathtub floor (that doubles as a poncho) on the inside, on top of the screen, just like sleeping under a tarp. Keeping it separate from the tent offers the following advantages: works great, but alternatively you can use the to double as rain gear..On nice nights you can take the bathtub floor/poncho out and sleep under the stars or on the ground under a shelter.If rain is blowing hard at one side of the tent, you can fold or shift your floor away from any spray. Rain spray or condensation runs harmlessly out the screen floor.You can set your wet shoes, wet pack, and clothes on the screen, while keeping your bathtub floor dry.You can take out your bathtub floor to dry the tent off faster. If the tent is wet you can pack your dry floor separate.Normally the floor stays clipped in place and packs up with the tent. You don't ever have to take it out except when you want to!
Each inside corner of the tent has a loop and clip for attaching your bathtub floor. The peak also has a loop on the inside for hanging a flashlight or stuff sack.
This tent does pretty well in the wind. The material can handle high wind loads. As long as your stakes stay in the ground (use rocks if available) your tent will stay standing. Cuben Fiber is not a particularly noisy fabric, however almost any tent will make a little noise in the wind.The expected life span of this shelter is at least one full 2500+ mile thru hike, or many years of casual use with some care.
Construction:
This Hexamid tent is made from updraded .74 oz/sqyd Spruce Green Material:
Cuben Fiber has a very high strength to weight ratio. The material can handle high wind force and does not tear easily.Cuben Fiber is waterproof.Cuben Fiber is made from Dyneema threads which do not stretch. The tent stays taut all night. Nylon material by comparison can stretch and sag, especially if it gets wet.Tape sticks well to it. Any damage can easily be fixed in the field with our .The seams are stitched and then taped taped water tight. The tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength. No seam sealing necessary!
This tent has fully enclosed .7 oz/sqyd (24 g/m²) insect screen. The holes in this screen are super tiny, even the smallest insects cannot get through. Our tent screen is about 30% lighter than comparable Noseeum screen with no noticeable decrease in durability. The screen floor holds up surprisingly well. As long as you are a little careful to move pointy things from your tent site you are unlikely to get any damage. If it did get a puncture it would be under your solid bathtub floor where it wouldn't affect the performance of the tent.
The separate (optional) bathtub floor is made from 1.0 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber. This material weight is more than twice as thick as the canopy material and is more resistant to abrasion and punctures. As with all Cuben Fiber it is easy to patch with tape.
Bright Yellow 1.25 mm Spectra Z-Line cord is included for guy lines (uncut). This cord is very strong, tangle resistant, and doesn't stretch so it gives you a tight pitch. Yellow is easy to see day or night. We recommend fixed length guy lines for the easiest set up with no knots or adjustment necessary. Some customers choose to add or different cord.

Some people prefer to upgrade to heavier .74 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber for added peace of mind. My own opinion is this material is not necessary, but it also does not hurt other than a small weight increase. It adds around 1.5 ounces (45 grams) to the weight. We have it in dark green as shown. It is a little bit less transparent than the thinner material.The detachable bathtub floor is always made from black 1.0 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber which is thicker and stronger than the tarp material.
