Snugpak Stratosphere 1-Person Shelter with 5000mm 100% Waterproof Outer Shell

RICK: Great little tent although condensation is an issue if you don't get the air flow right. Also it is hard to escape from in a hurry, let's say if a bear or threat was close by.

Sara: I've been using this tent for few years and I really love it.
I'm a small girl with not much power so for me light weight is the most important thing for camping equipment, and this is the best tent for me ever!
It's really light as a tent, fit in my little backpack, super easy to set up, everything is very well made.

It is really small, so it's obvious that 2 persons don't fit inside, purely for solo camping. and it's so small you cannot spend time inside really. You can only lay, maybe read books then sleep. Cannot do unpacking bags or eating something comfortably. But so perfect if only you need is sleep.
For me as 152 cm girl, I can put my backpack inside too and there are little covered area above head so I place my shoes there. I have been camping with this in hard raining day too but it wasn't problem.

I don't think this is a common tent so if you also want to enjoy time spending in tent or camp with someone, you need a bigger one. I'm thinking to buy one size bigger too to have different options of camping but I am really happy for this product.

Alessandro: Arrivato nei tempi previsti lo ho subito utilizzato nella mia prima uscita stagionale ... facile da montare e smontare. Ottimo per 1 persona con relativo equipaggiamento ..io ho fatto entrare il mio zaino da 70 usandolo come cuscino e posizionando il resto comodamente poiché media statura non ingombrante!!! Unica pecca la condensa accentuata in questo periodo estivo ma con accorgimenti giusti si risolve ... soddisfatto appieno lo consiglio... complimenti al venditore e grazie Amazon.

Alejandro: Probada en campo con tiempo seco y muy lluvioso.Principal fallo que veo al producto es que condensa la humedad del cuerpo y termina mojandose el saco(saco de plumas se daña,frio,sensacion de incomidad,etc)No la recomiendo.

Nomadic: This is a pretty darned good bivvy shelter. It is well engineered, roomy enough, and lightweight as heck.

Without the stakes, it takes about a minute to set up. The two poles are well designed and snap right into place. The result is about 2' of interior headroom. There are vents facing both front and rear in the head area. The vent at the head of the bivvy has a fly cover that stakes down to keep one dry in the rain. Alternatively, it can be rolled up to give a night time view through the bug mesh. The vent facing down is nice, but the shelter can be zipped up in the account of a rainstorm. There's a nice little mesh pocket in the roof of the bivvy where one can put a small lantern, phone, etc. When zipped up in a rainstorm, with a lantern and a book, a person is good to go.

My Alps inflatable sleeping pad fits easily inside. With my sleeping quilt the room is taken, but I am warm. The bivvy adds to the temp rating of your sleep system. Now, for the zipper. There's a zipper part way down the right side that seals with overlapping velcro strips. For anyone who wonders how the heck they'll slither into a regular bivvy sack, this zipper...

Sean.: I purchased this item because I wanted an ultralight sleep system to protect me from the rain and harsh conditions of the Florida swaps. First, I considered buying a bivvi cover like the one I was issued in Ft. Benning. But when I saw the design of the Stratosphere I realized what I was missing out on. I decided to give the Snugpak Stratosphere a try due to the great reviews and the light weight and the use of poles that create more space (and breathing room) than the GORETEX bivvi bags. Think of this shelter as a tent and bivvi hybrid. While the Army issued bivvis are great, nothing can be done in them except sleep and perhaps write a couple of letters or reports. This shelter rewards very little work and effort (putting two poles in place) by giving you much more breathing room, temperature circulation, the ability to store a small pack or change of clothes, shoes (preferably in a plastic bag to prevent tracking in mud or water), and a rifle or weapon of similar or smaller size. The issued bivvi can also be too hot for use during the summer, unless you like suffocating and bathing in sweat. If you are not used to sleeping in a bivvi and this is your first time...
