The Lunar Solo's distinctive low hexagonal shape easily spills the wind no matter the direction. Short, steeply sloped sides, handle snow or high winds with ease. A generous canopy covers a 2.4 sq. m sleeping area plus 0.8 sq. m of vestibule storage. The 49" peak height, set in the middle of the tent maximises room for sitting and taking care of chores.

The Lunar Solo is constructed with 100% Silicone coated Polyester material reducing fabric stretch and packed volume. The Canopy is constructed from 20D material while the floor utilises a more durable 40D weave. We now also use reflective material in the main and corner guy lines.

The sleeping area is a surrounded 15cm deep bathtub floor, topped by 15 cm of mesh. This ensures excellent ventilation while keeping you separated from low canopy walls. This keeps you drier on those occasions when condensation forms on the canopy. The vestibule is set on the long side of the tent to maximise views and ventilation when fully open. Close it and you've got phenomenal protection from the worst storms. Like all Six Moon Designs shelters it is designed to be pitched with adjustable trekking poles or with our fixed length aluminium or carbon fibre poles (sold separately).

* Weight does not include stakes or pole. Stakes or poles not included. Tent does NOT come seam sealed *
