Featherstone Backbone Ultralight Tent for Backpacking, Camping, Thru Hiking - Trekking Pole Backpacking Tent - Waterproof, Single-Wall, Durable Shelter - Compact, Light, & Easy to Carry

Great tent, easy to set up. It's going to get tested in some major winds in a couple weeks, but I'm confident it'll be up to the challenge. Also, the Big Agnes Rapide SL (tapered) fits inside perfectly.

I've been using a six moons design lunar solo tent for a good while. It's a great tent but I wanted more room and this tent checks the box. For one person it is very spacious with lots of headroom. It only weighs 11 ounces more than my lunar solo. Sets up easy with two trekking poles which I always have with me whenever I am backpacking.For the price it has a lot to offer.

I haven't used a trekking pole tent before so I did a test setup. It's a little confusing at first, but once you set out the guys it helps make sense. The tent has nice quality stitching and zippers and the vestibule is of a decent size. It could use a couple more pegs. It's very light and small. Happy with the purchase so far but have to see how it does in the weather. Excellent value.

This is a really awesome tent! I’ve set up a few times! It took a few tries to get it set really well, but it’s a really nice tent! Extremely well ventilated, very light weight! I would buy this over so many others!I’m just a normal person so I can’t really afford the other ultralight tents so this is perfect for me. I don’t plan on ever getting another backpacking tent.Just set it up last night to undergo a night of 35 mph wind gusts and heavy rain. And a day of rain back to back. And while it did develop a puddle in the foot end of the tent (outside) the inside remained dry except for a puddle that I’ll have to investigate further.

Got this tent just in time for a 3 day backpacking trip. It was easy to set up, and kept me nice and dry ( it rained most of the second night). I would certainly recommend this tent to anyone looking for a lightweight backpacking tent .

Firstly I really love the trekking pole tent style as it gives the trekking poles dual purpose and less weight in the pack. The pole pocket is another feature I greatly appreciate as I won’t have the problem I’ve had with other trekking poles tents of having the pole slip around during set up and struggling to find the right spot. I also like the two pole design as Im not feeling squished in my tent afraid I’m my sleep I’ll hit the pole.I was surprised that it was one full unit and not a mesh with a rain fly separate. This is actually something I really like in its set up as it makes it quick and easy. Also if having to set up in a slight drizzle the inside will remain dry.The choice in having the stiffeners in the footing is an awesome feature but I’m confused why its only on one side. However it does help me find the edge to start the set up with.The flooring is probably my largest concern. It is so thin it makes me nervous, despite the descriptions assurance that it can withstand the rough ground.The tri-stakes the tent comes with are the tiniest ones ive ever seen and too short for my taste so i will be buying third party ones and i also dont like the hook ones though they are surprisingly thick but still very lightweight weight.I absolutely love the fact this tent is dual entry. I will probably use one door to enter and exit from and use the other side to access my pack. The fact i can see the sunset from one side and the sunrise from the other in the morning is just a luxury feature to me.I’m curious how this tent will handle high winds considering how tall it is. Im not sure if it’s shape is the best for that kind of condition. Edit: this tent is a champ in wind and rain. I did have to buy a new tube of sealant for the seams to finish it not enough in the tube sent. I only wanted to add one tie out of the regular 6 stakes on the loop in the middle of the side your feet go on.This has been the easiest and quickest tent I have ever set up, I’m really excited to set it up again and use it some more

The media could not be loaded. For someone that has never used a trekking pole tent before, this was a little bit of a learning curve. But I’ll start with the positives and move into the negatives.So the reason I bought this tent is because of how light it is. And boy, is it light! Love how small it packs down as well. It’s also VERY roomy compared to my North Face stormbreaker tent - I could not believe how much headspace I had! I took this on the TCT and really enjoyed the fact that I saved a few pounds, and could stretch out in my tent after setting up. It made it so much easier to get changed and move around. I purchased the single person tent and felt it had just the perfect amount of room for me and my backpack. I am between 5-6 feet tall and I can’t imagine a 6 ft person being quite so comfortable but it was perfect for me. Also, it held up pretty well to the windy weather that we experienced. As you can see in the video, it was a rather light wind, but I thought it did well all the same.Now onto the negatives. First, it is as other reviews say. This tent does HORRIBLE in rain. We had one night of light showers and I constantly had to wake up to wipe down the ceiling when water started raining down on me. Luckily, I had an extra blanket to put over the foot of my sleeping bag so it wasn’t soaked by morning. The ceiling dips by the foot area so it is touching the bag. There are several loops on the tent and I used one of the ropes that came with it to try and tighten the ceiling a little but I’m not sure how much good I did. There is just way too much fabric in the ceiling to prevent this dip compared to the footprint. This could be user error but since there’s no instructions, I have no clue. My best advice: do not bring this tent if you expect rain. This is a one season/summer only tent. This is due to it being a one layer tent. Furthermore, and this might be important for other ladies, this tent is pretty see through. I was traveling with someone so it wasn’t that big of a deal, but I’m not sure I would like the idea of people being able to see me through the thin tent layer day or night if I was solo backpacking.Overall, you get what you pay for. This is a light tent and a good price if you don’t want to dish out $500 from a major brand. It has some major flaws but I found it was a good tent for at least three out of the 5 night trip so I’ll give it a three star instead of 1.
