OverviewThe Golite Hut 1 is a one-person, fully-enclosable, floorless shelter with a number of unique features. Rather than the typical guyline cords seen from other manufacturers, it uses the easily adjustable tieout strap system borrowed from its older and  larger cousin, the Golite Hex. This allows re-tensioning the tieouts from inside the shelter, and the reflective straps are easily spotted with a flashlight at night. The front and rear ridgeline guyouts are more conventional, but they do employ guyline tensioners to minimize fumbling with knots. The Hut 1 can even be pitched over an adjustable trekking pole at its apex without any external guyline in front – the vestibule tieouts can support the front of the shelter in this configuration alone. Plus, when set up this way, only six stakes are needed for a fair-weather pitch. The large vestibule has a sturdy zipper closure, complete with a reinforced snap at the bottom to reduce stress on the zipper. Finally, the 1.76 oz/yd2 silnylon used is sturdier than the lighter silnylons and silicone-impregnated polyesters used by Golite’s competitors.
