Gossamer Gear - The One Tent

Why We Like It
Silver City sits right on the Continental Divide Trail, so we see a lot of thru-hikers rolling through town needing to shave weight before the next stretch — and The One is exactly the kind of gear that gets it done. At well under a pound and a half, it disappears into your pack, yet somehow still has enough headroom that you're not doing yoga to get dressed in the morning. Pair it with the trekking poles you're already carrying and you've cut out an entire pole set's worth of weight and bulk.

• Under 18 oz (Trail Weight) — one of the lightest fully-enclosed single-wall tents on the market, full stop.
• Trekking-Pole Setup — no dedicated poles to carry; if you're already hiking with sticks, this tent is basically free weight.
• 45" Peak Height — genuinely roomy for a 1P shelter, headroom that beats a lot of dome tents twice its weight.
• ClearSkies™ Fabric — PFAS-free recycled nylon with a 1200mm silicone/PU coating that sheds morning dew instead of soaking it up.
• Retractable Vent — open it up on calm nights to fight single-wall condensation, seal it down when weather turns.
• Factory-Taped Seams — pitch it and go, no seam-sealing chores before your first night out.

FAQ

Do I need special trekking poles for this tent?
No — any adjustable trekking poles that reach roughly 125cm work fine. Gossamer Gear also sells a dedicated pole set if you don't already hike with poles.

Is it warm/weather-tight enough for three-season use in the Gila?
Yes, with normal ultralight caveats — the bathtub floor and taped seams handle rain well, and the retractable vent helps manage condensation on cool desert nights.

How small does it actually pack down?
Small — Gossamer Gear rates it at roughly 5" x 10" rolled, easily lost in the bottom of a pack.
