I used the awning to cook on a couple of rainy nights and it worked well.
Lightheart solo awning.
Ramble on at 2009 trail journal.
Of all of those solo options the lightheart solo is very clearly my favorite.
There is so much room in this tent that 2 regular size people can share it.
Still had room inside for all my gear except the wet stuff which i hung over the awning.
Still this is much roomier than most other solo tents.
The solong 6 is so long that hikers over 6 8 will fit comfortably in this tent.
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.
The patented center ridge pole provides full use of measured headroom and allows users to sit up and change clothes comfortably.
Lowering the stick can close the vent.
The ridge vent has a short plastic stick at the bottom.
The lightheart gear solo awning is lighter and provides nicer platform for managing camp life in the rain.
Lightheart gear solong 6 tent designed for the big tall.
Velcro the stick to the vent covers to open the vent.
Awning fly on front extends out 30 inches.
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.
8 inch bathtub floors.
5 inch carbon fiber stay in the front tip.
This tent weighs well under two pounds.
The solo duo mid is much better at handling high winds and snow.
Hand made in asheville nc.
The solo awning has adequate room to store all of your gear inside the tent.
And is rock solid.
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.
I first saw this in franklin and bought one after a few minutes of looking at it.
This is how i set it up on nights when it may rain.
The lightheart solo awning only 28 5 oz.
The awning gives lots of room to work in adverse weather and the size allows for all your gear to be in the tent.
