MSR Access 1 Person Dome Tent Review

The Access 1 has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 4, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 72 various 1 person tents we have studied. With 19 square feet of room inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you throughout the 4-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make a very good choice for people who like spending plenty of hours outside their tent getting some air.

Many of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances lightweight, making them simple to carry around. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, slanted sides two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 19 square feet, the Access 1 is smaller than quite a lot of the 72 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included.
