Black Diamond

Distance Tent: 2-Person 3-Season + Adapter

Very light and easy to

Very light and easy to set up. Stoked

Great Concept! But...water.

I love how simple and lightweight the tent is. I have back problems, so I can't take too much weight in my pack. This was perfect for that! Both mornings, though, I woke up to outrageous amounts of condensation inside the tent. The second night, I left the main air flap of the door open, and still there was water everywhere.

Best Trekking Pole Tent

I think this is the best tent on the market that uses trekking poles. It’s not the lightest, but the design more than makes up for it. It has a very easy setup, is quite sturdy in the wind, and quite spacious, all attributes not commonly found in a trekking pole tent. 100% would recommend (and do) and buy again.

I really love the packability of this single wall tent. It condenses more than I like, but it is surprisingly sturdy in storm force gales. I recently put it to the test in a storm in Greenland. I was nearly certain the weather would rip it to shreds, but by morning everything was in place, nothing was damaged, and I stayed warm and dry.

Gets so wet

I have tried using this tent multiple times. Once when it was raining out and once when it was dry. The inside gets soaking wet in both situations. The morning dew completely gets inside or the condensation from your warmth. Your stuff and yourself will end up soaked. I hate this tent and I spent so much money on it.

Nice bivi tent

Very good as a bivouac tent. Ingenious and minimalist design. Super light. We sleep two people, comfortably. The only thing I would add is the possibility of closing the ventilation, with Velcro or something like that. To prevent dirt (or snow) from entering when the wind blows

Light weight tent

Light weight tent using trekking poles. Larger than a Nalgene bottle, about the size of a lightweight summer sleeping bag. Still am improvement in size and weight than a standard tent

Awesome tent

This tent is super light, has plenty of room for two people, and stays fairly dry when it’s damp out. I highly recommend buying adjustable trekking poles to use with this tent, that way you can get the length just right to keep it taut. Only issue I had with the tent is that when I woke up one of the poles had fallen over. Maybe I didn’t set it in the ground securely enough.

Lightweight and waterproof

I have really been enjoying this tent, i have used it on 6 trips some being overnighters and some being 6 and 7 days long and have fallen in love with trekking pole tents. i really enjoy how light weight it is and how it uses poles i already would be packing. i came into this tent suspecting a real bad problem with the condensation and if i had it fully zipped i could see that being an issue but i have treated it more like a spacious bivy instead of a tent. i do recommend if you are going to be using it in high moisture or multi day hikes to use a waterproof sleeping bag cover to prevent your sleeping bag from touching the bottom small foot area of the tent as that was the only time i had any problems with condensation. i also recommend using a tarp or poncho to make a covered area over the door so that you can have the door open when there is high moisture. but with all that being said i have used it in snowy fall conditions, heavy rain and sleeping by a waterfall and know that i can depend on this shelter to keep me dry and out of the wind even without the tarp or sleeping bag cover and just remember to bring something to wipe down the sidewalls before bed just incase

I used this tent on a 12-day, 120 mile hike/camping trip at Philmont Scout Ranch. It was perfect. Setup and take-down took under five minutes. It was spacious enough for one person, probably not two. It handled high winds and rain very well. The only challenge I experienced was condensation on the inside when the outside temp dropped below the dewpoint.
