Ascend Nine Mile 1-Person Backpacking Tent – Ultralight Solo Shelter, 3 lbs 1 oz (1.4 kg) – Trail-Ready, Weatherproof Protection
Embark on solo adventures with the Ascend Nine Mile 1-Person Backpacking Tent, an ultralight, trail-friendly tent designed for backpackers seeking portability and reliability. Weighing just 3 lbs 1 oz (1.4 kg), this 3-season tent features a side-entry design with a 68-denier polyester body, no-see-um mesh panels, and a full-coverage rainfly for weatherproof comfort.
Why Choose the Ascend Nine Mile 1-Person Backpacking Tent?
- Premium Quality: Made with 68D 190T polyester taffeta body (uncoated for breathability), no-see-um mesh panels, and a seam-taped 68D 190T polyester taffeta floor with a 3,000mm PU coating. The seam-taped rainfly (68D 190T polyester, 1,500mm PU coating) includes adjustable air vents. Lightweight, non-freestanding 7001-series aluminum poles with shock cords ensure a sturdy frame.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for solo backpacking, hiking, or minimalist camping. The side-entry design with a zippered vestibule offers dry entry and gear storage. Combine with the Ascend Nine Mile 1 Floor Saver (item 2273876, sold separately) for a minimalist rainfly setup.
- Distinctive Properties: Compact and ultralight at 3 lbs 1 oz, with large mesh panels for ventilation and stargazing. X users praise its quick setup and packability, though some note the non-freestanding design requires stakes for stability, limiting use on rocky terrain.
- Convenient Size: Floor dimensions: 86"L x 34"W (7.2' x 2.8'); center height: 38"H. Packed size: 16"L x 5"D. Yields ~20 sq ft of floor space, fitting a single sleeping pad. Includes stuff sack, aluminum stakes, pole repair sleeve, and guy-out cords with tensioners.
- Additional Features: Interior mesh organizer pockets for gear storage. Reflective guy lines aid nighttime visibility. Easy setup with color-coded webbing and quick-attach pole clips.
Effortless Setup & Comfort
The Ascend Nine Mile 1 sets up quickly using color-coded webbing and quick-attach pole clips on lightweight aluminum poles. The full-coverage rainfly with a zippered vestibule provides dry gear storage, while mesh panels ensure ventilation in warm conditions. Customers appreciate its durability in light rain and wind, though some suggest adding the Nine Mile 1 Floor Saver for extra ground protection. One reviewer noted it “packs small enough for a daypack” on a Pacific Crest Trail section. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
