Perks
The North Face Solo tent was designed to protect you against the worst weather conditions nature has to throw at you, but it also has a great ventilation system. Using overhead and perimeter vents, The North Face has developed a high-low airflow, allowing air to flow freely through the tent even in adverse weather conditions.
Sacrifices
Because of the Solo's lightweight design, it is missing some of the perks of some of its competitors. There is not much storage room in the Solo. It has a small vestibule that won't fit a large backpack, and it has few pockets in the tent for gear.
Bottom Line
The North Face Solo tent is the best one-person backpacking tent on the market. Because of its high price and lack of storage room, the Solo is recommended only for the avid backpacker who ventures out in extreme conditions.
