Compact, lightweight and worth every penny
Color: Gray/Navy Size: 1-Person
Small, lightweight and easy to assemble and pack. It is a small one person tent that seems very well constructed. I have no complaints.

Awesome little Tent. Best so far.
Color: Gray/Navy Size: 1-Person
This is my third one-man tent, and is by far the nicest and highest quality single I have had. Sure, it isn't the least expensive for a one-man, but you get what you pay for here. The quality of construction is exceptional. The sewing is top notch, and the poles are of really high quality aluminum. It sets up in just a few minutes, and is self supporting, (doesn't require stakes) which was crucial for my needs. I'm 5'8" and have plenty of room. I especially like the head height that lets me easily sit up, which I couldn't do in my other singles. The ventilation is great. This tent was specifically chosen for it's features and dimensions so that I could set it up on the deck of my 13' Boston Whaler boat, and camp on the water. It ended up being a perfect fit and will work as intended for this. ... show more

Excellent value
Color: Gray/Navy Size: 1-Person
I’ve used this tent for two years now on various trails in the Shenandoah mountains, Big bend national park, and various campsites up and down the east coast. Very easy to assemble and packs down very small, especially if you separate the sticks and put them on the outside of your pack. Only cons would be a lack of airflow sometimes, and I upgraded the weak stakes that it originally came with, as they vent. Very good tent. ... show more

Very light stakes provided if windy
Color: Gray/Navy Size: 1-Person
As soon as the LYNX 1 arrived, I put it together. I looked all around for assembly instruction. They were sown into the tote bag for added convenience. But after the first time putting the tent together, the instructions aren't needed. I disasembled it, packed it in about 15 minutes. No sweat! I reassemble the LYNX 1 (one person tent). It was up and ready for use in about 15 minutes. Weather was extremely hot and no wind. I was sweating bullets! The only thing that requires any thought is the two flexable sectioned poles need to crisscross at the center. The pole sections are held together by a bungee cord. Each section is about 1ft. poles are provided with a storage bag, as well as, the stakes. The tent is really two(2) pieces. The tent with large access zippered door and mosquito netted windows in the sides. There are soft plastic open clips that attach to the poles and are obvious where they attach to each pole. A larger clip at the very top of the tent goes onto the point where the poles cross. Once all is clipped together the entire tent can be picked up with two(2) fingers and placed where wanted. The second important part is the cover or rain-cover. This is pulled over the tent and each corner has a buckle that clips onto the tents corners. Again, the tent can be easily picked up. The front of the cover has a large zipper for entry. The cover has four guide strings that can be attached for extra stability. A loop in the back can be staked down. The two unzippered flaps in front can, also. be staked or use one flap as a shade with the other flap rolled up and secured by tie-downs located in each side of the cover. Extra cloth is provided for holes in the rain repellent cloth. However, the user must provide the super-glue. One thing that would be nice if a ground cover(4x8) was provided to protect the bottom from being punctured and wornout quickly. I believe plastic sheeting can be found at a hardware store or online. Overall this is a well made backpacking tent. It will provide good cover for overnight hikes. It is very light and won't add any substantial weight to the pack. My caccoon sleeping bag will fit, covering the entire floor of this tent. I would recommend this purchase to others. I haven't gone out to the wilds yet. But, I don' t see any difficulties with LYNX 1. ... show more

Durability; Cost; Freestanding = The Best!
Color: Gray/Navy Size: 1-Person
1. This is a “Rock Solid” Tent, at a far less cost than the competition. 2. Very easy to set up, and the Footprint & Rainfly secure into the same fittings as the Tent, making ALL of it truly ‘Freestanding’. 3. For me, the ‘Freestanding’ issue is a “Must”. The price is 20-25% of comparable Big Agnes and/or Nemo variations. 4. ONLY “Con”: The weight. If you add in the Tent + Rainfly + Footprint + Stakes + Bag = 4.4 Lbs. [I’ve weighed it on a Digital scale.] 5. Total Cost is $95 to $120+/- depending on the Vendor. You will pay $500/$550+ to lose 1.5 to 2 Lbs with the BA or Nemo with their 2P tents. 5. The Alps 1P Tent is small @ 4.4 Lbs [All Items Included]. The BA & Nemo 2P tent will weight less & provide more room, but you’ll pay the difference. 6. Candidly, I like the larger sizes of the BA or Nemo 2P tents, yet ensure you include the weight of all of the above items when comparing. 7. Last Item: The Alps 1P tent is much more robust/durable - especially the zippers. I’ve used both the BA & Nemo 2P. They are lighter with more room [which I enjoy] but Much More/Very delicate. Zippers may not sound like a ‘big item” until you need to get up in the middle of the night, or simply get ‘In & Out’. 8. Hence, if an extra 2 Lbs+/- is mandatory [And I’ve always been weight sensitive on my Pack/Gear] you could choose another brand. But, if it’s ‘just you’, and the added 1-2 Lbs is acceptable, the Alps 1P tent is an incredible bargain & is rugged, too easy to setup, and all components are Freestanding. [I’ve actually traded a Nemo 1P ultralight “expensive” tent on the 2nd day of a backpacking trip with another hiker who was using the Alps 1P, and took no money in exchange, for all of the above reasons.] ... show more

Perfect tent for hiking and camping

This is perfect tent for single person. Its light weight and not too big or too small. Very easy to assemble. I used it for hiking and camping

Nice beginner backpacking tent!
Color: Gray/Navy Size: 1-Person
This is really nice beginner backpacking tent. It's a bit heavier than 1 person tents that cost hundreds more (obviously) but you can't beat it for the price. It's easy to set up, and with the guy lines tied out, it's very stable in high winds. I was just getting into backpacking and didn't want to spend 400-600 on the gear basics. I have used and loved this Alps Mountaineering tent on 6-8 trips at this point and it's been good to me. The only complaint is that the stakes bend easily on the rocky ground around here, but a new set of sturdy stakes is a cheap add on to an otherwise nice item. I'll note I'm 5'7 and about 150 lbs. I think if you're a much taller or larger person or just someone who moves a lot in their sleep this might not be as comfortable for you. ... show more
