Lightheart Solo Awning

The lightheart gear solo awning is also lighter than doing a solomod with the inner net though the solomid would be lighter if you didn t need to bring the inner bug tent.

Lightheart solo awning.

The awning gives lots of room to work in adverse weather and the size allows for all your gear to be in the tent. Lowering the stick can close the vent. Hand made in asheville nc. This is how i set it up on nights when it may rain.

And is rock solid. Roomy and it can take the weather. The lightheart solo awning only 28 5 oz. The solong 6 is so long that hikers over 6 8 will fit comfortably in this tent.

5 inch carbon fiber stay in the front tip. The solo duo mid is much better at handling high winds and snow. I just finished a cdt sobo thru hike using a lightheart solo and unlike on the at i slept every trail night in the tent for exactly 5 months finishing three days ago apart from cowboy camping just the last two nights. Still this is much roomier than most other solo tents.

The solo awning has adequate room to store all of your gear inside the tent. Awning fly on front extends out 30 inches. 10 inch carbon fiber stays in the back corners. 8 inch bathtub floors.

The first to thru hike with lightheart gear. I used the awning to cook on a couple of rainy nights and it worked well. The ridge vent has a short plastic stick at the bottom. Line lock adjustments on all tie outs.

The lightheart gear solo awning is lighter and provides nicer platform for managing camp life in the rain. The lightheart is a hybrid double wall design meaning it offers the benefits of a double walled tent better ventilation and thus less condensation build up while the tarp remains attached to the inner tent along the ridgeline. I first saw this in franklin and bought one after a few minutes of looking at it. Still had room inside for all my gear except the wet stuff which i hung over the awning.

Of all of those solo options the lightheart solo is very clearly my favorite.
