Gossamer Gear The One

Gossamer Gear The One

The One, set up with trekking poles, is an all-in-one solution for a single-person ultralight hiking tent. Weighing just half a kilogram, it offers remarkable usability. The integrated mosquito net is always ready to use, saving you the hassle of setting it up separately. The seams are pre-taped for waterproofing, so no additional sealing is needed. Its compact packing size allows it to easily fit into most backpack side pockets.

The bathtub-style floor provides protection even in harsh conditions, while the raised rear wall enhances weather resistance. Excellent ventilation reduces condensation buildup. When rain isn’t expected, you can roll back the vestibule for full panoramic views.

Features:

• Easy access with both front doors opening.
• Exceptional head and shoulder space.
• Large vestibule offers excellent protection.
• Lightweight yet provides full rain and insect protection.
• Curved cut design for fast and tight pitching.
• Adjustable setup height.
• Internal clothesline and attachment point for a flashlight.
• Reflective guyline points for extra space and stability in high winds.
• Adjustable tensioners and reflective guylines for secure pitching, even with gloves.
• Zippers with reflective pulls for easier handling.
• Large internal mesh pocket for personal items.
• Sidewall attachment points increase storm resistance and add extra space.

The package includes 8 pegs (11 g per peg), so you only need trekking poles to set it up. Poles should be set to a height of 125 cm. A minimum of 6 pegs are required for pitching.

Pitching tips:

We recommend using long Y-shaped pegs (e.g., MSR Groundhog) for the front and rear guylines to achieve a tight setup, and suitable pegs for the corners based on conditions. Face the tent end into the wind, not the front or back. Start by securing two corners, with pegs 90–120 cm apart and guylines at a 45-degree angle. Leave the corner guylines slightly loose to allow for optimal ventilation and final adjustments. Secure the other corners in the same way.

Place the rear pole (set at 125 cm height) with the handle up and the tip in the loop. Attach the tent so the pole leans slightly outward. Repeat for the front pole, ensuring the ridge is tight and both poles lean at the same angle. Tighten all corner guylines for a firm setup. The tent floor may sag, but you can anchor the corners with extra pegs if desired. The 10D nylon floor is durable, but for extended life, consider using a groundsheet underneath.

In windy conditions: Choose a sheltered campsite in strong winds. Use large rocks on pegs for extra hold if needed. The tent also features two extra attachment points for guylines, which can be used for additional anchors. You can also pitch the windward corners flush to the ground to prevent drafts.
