Converting my gear to a more minimalist approach. This little tent is going to be perfect for solo adventures. I am 5'9" and find there is extra room lengthwise. Room enough to sit up and dress. Good separation between fly and body of the tent. Performed very well on my first outing to a west coast beach (Vancouver Island) light rain as usual. Can't wait to put it to more use.

I love everything about this tent except for height (wished 4-6" more) and no gear loft. One mesh pocket by the door is good enough. I wish there is more loop tabs on ceiling so I can string it to hang socks and small gears. The extended fly by the door is pretty tight and your gear can get wet from rain. Best way to prevent from getting your gear wet is place it on top of rock. You should be good. Ventilation inside is awesome. There is no way in hell that this tent has condensation issue. I wish this tent is rectangular evenly. It would be great to put extra small gears inside along the wall. Other than that I love this tent. It's my favorite tent to take with me all the times because it's very easy to set up.

As a beginning backpacker this tent was worked great. Not the lightest but still very easy to carry and set up. Used it in the desert and had no problem setting it up and its design was sturdy enough to last a night of moderate wind. Rain Fly worked well and I left it partially open to have some air circulation during the night. Only issue for me was at 6'1", 200lbs it felt a little tight but I believe that's just the tradeoff that comes with a one person backpacking tent. So far a great product that I would buy again. Looking forward to getting it up in the mountains.

I use it for hiking the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail in SWPA. Lightweight and Ultra-Fast Setup.

I love this tent. It's a fantastic product for the price. I went on a trip in November with this tent, and it rained or snowed every day for 3 weeks. I stayed dry and relatively warm the entire time. My only criticism- it's a tight fit with a dog and a pack!

Finally retiring my Kelty tent after the AT and the next stop is the JMT this late spring. I wanted to try out a lightweight yet sturdy enough tent from TNF. After testing out the product, I find this tent to be acceptable for an overnight/weekend trip, or for those ultralight backpackers, but I prefer to have slightly more room for my gear and during sleep. I am 5' 5" but I cannot comfortably fit a 14 day gear pack with me inside the tent. I am returning this and getting a Talus 2.

On the plus side, the rain cover material does appear to be sturdy (as to what you would expect from a quality TNF product). Again, this tent is great for a small person looking for a light tent (I weighted it to be 3.4 lbs with everything).

this tent was bought with weight in mind. my technical rescue pack is limited in weight and size so this tent fits perfectly.

I would add a small cross pole to the design go across the top and it would add a little more height in the vestibule .

Simply put, the best one man tent for the money. Perfect for Adventure Motorcycle Riding, will with in most bags, or can be strapped on the outside of the same bag.

The Storm Break 1., is lightweight, stable, priced great, and simple to set up...for me it's better then a bivy. ITS the length thats a problem...I'm 6,5', the tent is 6,5' long...I'm head to toes tent! It's a little cramped for me. I love North Face mountaineering gear. However, I'm 6,5' and I'm used to it, but as I get older it wears on me. We have longer sleeping bags, what's up with the tents?
