[A comparison review with no consideration] This is the place to go for fast packing overnight. We've put together a selection of popular models of lightweight tents and shelters that focus on mobility.
written by Keroppa
This time we will be discussing "shelters," but now I have a question for everyone.
Have you ever slept in a "shelter"?
What is the difference between a "tent" and a "shelter"?
What is the difference between "Zert"?
Tents, shelters, Zelt. In the act of staying outdoors, these are all tools for use for the same purpose, in the sense that they are "a place where you can rest your body and protect yourself from the rain, wind and cold." However, roughly speaking, the difference can be said to be the high level of protection that can be achieved through this.
The appeal of the shelter is that it is "light and easy to set up, but it has decent livability and protection."
Of course, the tents have the highest protection and livability of the three categories. On the other hand, in order to avoid the worst situations such as sudden, bad weather, Zelt is positioned as a simple tent for emergency evacuation, which is second to the comfort level and is the quickest and most secure. "Shelters" are just halfway between them, and are a type of product that places more emphasis on lightness and ease of setup than tents, and more emphasis on livability than zelts. However, in reality, the boundaries that separate these are not very simple, there are shelters like tents and shelters like Zert, and to be honest, it is a category that cannot be summed up in one word: "This is a shelter!"
The appeal of shelters, which combines minimum livability and protection, yet lightness and ease of setup, has become popular in recent years along with the terms of UL (ultra light) and fast packing, and thankfully, many attractive shelters are now available to choose from.
Choose the perfect shelter for you from a wide variety of products
However, there are many different models, such as models that sell high livability, while others that are more Zert-like in terms of ease of setup, and even though they are quite expensive, you won't be able to understand until you try them. From my own experience, I think it's impossible for ordinary hikers who have never used a shelter to choose the right answer in one go.
So, this time we've picked out five models from among the diverse shelters that you might think, "This is the one you'd like to use for fast packing or speed hiking right now," from the perspectives of popularity, ability, standard, and newness, and compared them from various angles. I think it would be great if you could provide clues to actually choose when choosing, such as "You're just thinking about reducing the weight of your equipment and are interested in shelters!"
By the way, in UL's trend, there are camping styles such as "tarp" and "hammocks", so I would definitely like to compare them if I have the opportunity, but I have not selected this time due to the viewpoints of wind, low temperatures, insects, etc.

About the Shelter Comparison Review
Select a comparison candidate
I'm sure our readers have a wide range of experiences, abilities, and oriented people, but this review is basically written with the assumption that "people considering purchasing a shelter for the first time, those who are thinking of climbing a tent overnight and are thinking of starting a light climb at a shelter." For this reason, when choosing a product, we have picked out models that are relatively easy to obtain and models with features that are not too difficult to move from staying in a tent.
- Six Moon Designs/Lunar Solo 2020
- Gossamer Gear/THE ONE
- HERITAGE / Crossover Dome 2G
- Black Diamond/Distance Shelter
- ZEROGRAM/Thru Hiker 1p
There are five models, including a model with an vestibule, a Zelt-like, inner mesh and fly.
Just to be safe, I would like to write about things that I think should be explained as a prerequisite to those who use shelters to climb mountains. The level of protection is definitely lower than that of a tent, so it is important to judge the situation when using it. If you are expecting bad weather, don't push yourself too hard, just use a tent or stay in a hut, and start with safety first (on the other hand, if you're not yet confident in determining the situation, we definitely recommend choosing a tent!).
Also, the issue of condensation is inevitable. Of course, this happens in tents too, but in the case of shelters, when you wake up in the morning, you start by wiping away any condensation inside. In a double-wall tent, condensation that accumulates on the fly sheet will accumulate in the living space in a single-wall shelter. Make sure to put anything that gets wet and is in a staff bag or something. It is natural that puddles form in the corner. This is a part that depends on the weather, but that's what it is, and condensation prevention is essential!
Test environment
It was used for fast packing in Okuchichibu and traversing in the Northern Alps from July to September 2021. One night for each model. There were no extreme weather conditions when used, and even if the rain fell, it did not last for more than three hours. The temperature is at least around 10°C when you sleep. No winds exceeding 3m were observed.
(It's pretty good! Thank you to the mountain god! In terms of reviews, it's better to have a bad one...)
Points of evaluation
- Living comfort: the comfort of the living space. Space-like space. There is less psychological oppression, etc.
- Ease of setup and removal... Can it be set up easily, quickly, and intuitively?
- Weather resistance: Will it protect the room safely against the environment such as rain, wind, and temperature?
- Durability: Strength and length of material and material type
- Weight: Weight required for actual use
- Storage: Easy to pack

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo 2020: 1st overall. It was once again a benchmark shelter!
This is the place
- Wide floor, large vestibule, wind resistant resistant.
- If you move from a tent, you'll be able to do it without any discomfort.
This is △
- The limits of one pole and the clearance above the head...
- It's surprisingly large when packing, but thanks to that it's more durable.
It is one of the most famous brands in the American UL world, which started out as a tent sales 19 years ago. The founder is a through-hiker, so he is good at UL-style shelters and packs.
It was born in a culture where people walk long distances with their backpacks on their backs, and we do not intend to climb mountains that go down rocky ridges.
He won the prestigious award in the United States in 2019. This shelter has undergone minor changes every year, making it even more complete. Recently, I've been seeing them quite a lot at tents.
Living comfort
The floor area is large. The manufacturer says that only two people are just the right time to sleep, but if you just want to sleep, it's the size of two people.
If you're alone, you can clutter unlimitedly next to your sleeping bag without thinking about anything, such as bags or anything.
Also, regarding the shelter's challenge, the 360° bottom is mesh.
Of course, there are vents in the ceiling, so the warm, moist air that has been collected is expelled from it.
This is the advantage of One Pole, which has the lowest condensation of the test items this time.
Of course, it is not possible to simply compare the weather, but this is something I realized once again after actually using it.
The front room also gives you a sense of gratitude when it rains, but this item is quite useful.
The photo shows a pole on the front room to make the floor wider, but it is also possible to make the space on the front room wider.
Ease of setup and removal
One of the advantages of shelter is the ease of setup. This model is also easy once you get used to the order.
With the pole as a fulcrum, from the left and right pegs, then the front and rear pegs. In that case, insert the rear pegs, then raise the pole and then the front pegs. Finally, the two pegs are finished diagonally behind.
The problem is that there is nothing you can do unless the pegs are inserted. This place does not assume that the pegs cannot be used due to the different environments in which they were raised. Of course, there are many ways to avoid it, but if you want to properly apply tension, you will need to peg down.
Also, the installation area is surprisingly large, so if you are in a crowded tent area, you may be able to look at it with a bad eye.
Weather resistance, durability
The material has been changed from sil nylon to polyester (silicon coating) since the 2020 edition of this model. The reason is that polyester is less likely to spread even when it contains water. Sil nylon will inevitably stretch if the material itself contains water. Even if it was built perfectly when it was built, it felt a little sloppy when I woke up in the morning...I'm grateful that it didn't flex inside even when it was raining.
The overall thickness is 20D and the floor is relatively thick at 40D. The floor 40D is thick enough to make you think you don't need a ground sheet, giving you a very different sense of security. It is also resistant to UV rays compared to nylon, which is the advantage of polyester, which lasts longer than nylon.
Weight and storage capacity
740g (including storage bags but no poles or pegs are included) is a heavy shelter. Considering that models that currently sell under 1000g (including poles and pegs) are less than that, even double-wall tents. It is also a shelter, and when I looked at it, it was huge. It's small enough compared to a tent...
Instead, the large living space and quick setup are the appeal of this model that tents don't have. In that sense, there is a good deal of choosing this model, and there are surely many people who choose this model because of the sense of freedom that tents do not have.
summary
In conclusion, this is the safest recommended shelter for those who want to move away from a tent or use a shelter.
Gossamer Gear THE ONE: Lightness x Comfort No. 1. I've been waiting for something like this! A lovely UL shelter
This is the place
- What a wonderful overhead space. It's spacious. The vestibule is also large enough.
- If it's this light, it feels like you're using a shelter.
This is △
- I'm worried in strong winds, but I can't use it on the ridge. Well, that's what it is.
- Durability. It can't be helped, so it's light.
The manufacturer that made backpacks in the garage 20 years ago has become a gear manufacturer that has attracted attention in the U.S. UL world.
This model, which came out in 2021, is a later model from Lunasolo, and has been crushing the negatives there. Personally, I've been interested in this model the most, so I'll give you a quick review.
Living comfort
The topic of this model is the spacious overhead space. At 170cm, I'm tall and wide enough.
The floor area is sufficient for one person. It is over 200cm long so there is no need to worry about your sleeping bag sticking to the shelter and getting wet.
Regarding this condensation, in this model, the short side is meshed at the feet (left of the bottom photo), the back side of the long side is at the top (in the bottom photo), and the entire front side is meshed (right of the bottom photo). Depending on the way the wind flows, if you only flow from the short side, condensation will inevitably accumulate on the panel. As this is what we're doing, let's wipe it quietly!
The vestibule is sufficient, and with the spacious overhead space, it seems like it will be quite comfortable even on rainy days.
Ease of setup and removal
First, peg down the four corners. Place the trekking pole on the back and in front. This may be a bit tedious until you get used to it, but once you get used to it, it's easy. Once you have set it up, balance the front and back and forth and finish.
The withdrawal was also a shelter, so it went by in a flash. Even if it is wet due to condensation, the thin material will dry out relatively quickly even for the second night. If it's sunny...
Weather resistance, durability
This model only has a panel on the back that hides the mesh part, allowing it to be exposed to the wind. Take the entrance downwind downwind along Theory As it stands there will be a lot of trouble, so you need to make an effort, such as choosing a location with as little wind as possible, or taking the short side upwind.
The material is 10D sil nylon. Seamed. The single wall is made of material similar to that of a light tent fly sheet, and even the floor is 10D. This leads to this small and light weight, but at the same time it also leads to its low durability. This is a difficult part to balance, so it is necessary to make a decision. A ground sheet is required.
Also, since it is nylon, I feel relaxed when I wake up in the morning. There is also perfect condensation, so take thorough measures against condensation.
Weight, storage capacity
The main unit is 503g, and the included pegs are just plain pegs and 112g, and the minimum required number is 6, so this number can be reduced even more. The storage size is small enough for a shelter with a front room, making it a reasonable sense.
summary
This shelter has an vestibule and is the lightest part of the baggage. I'm sure there were many people waiting. It's easy to use like a tent, light as a shelter, and the speed of installation and storage is satisfactory. It is not recommended for beginners in the mountains, but I think that if you have a certain amount of experience, you won't be able to lose out on your equipment even considering the disadvantages of a shelter.
HERITAGE Crossover Dome 2G: Easy to build and compact. Japan's leading independent shelter. I'm doing my best seriously
This is the place
- This small and lightness is impressive.
- Being independent is great.
This is △
- There's no choice but to see the high amount of condensation. It's warm.
- Rainy days can be a lot of trouble. But there's an vestibule option!
This is Japan's leading tent brand, with Espers being better in the mountain club generation. I am enthusiastically deploying shelters and personally own them.
Living comfort
First of all, I would like to say that this heritage and the next black diamond are shelters with no vestibule, near Zert. All except these two are sized for single use, but these two are picked for two people. Since there is no vestibule, it is more convenient for two people, considering that there is a variety of tasks to do indoors.
Since it is for two people, it is 100cm wide. Two 50cm mats are large enough to be placed side by side.
The length is 210cm. The sleeping bag can even touch the shelter itself, so we recommend using a sleeping bag cover to prevent condensation. It is 105cm tall, so it is easy for me, who is 170cm tall. It can be used very spaciously if used alone.
For models closer to Zert, there is no vestibule, so the most troublesome thing is when it rains. Basically, the use of firearms is strictly prohibited, but in reality, it cannot be replaced by the back. However, there are many models with poor ventilation, so be sure to be careful about ventilation and minimize usage time. This is just your own judgment, and no one will guarantee it, so be careful!
By the way, this model has an optional vestibule. There must have been a lot of requests! It adds price and weight, but it's a great option for those who need this model! I think it will really be useful when it rains.
Condensation is a concern, but I think it's probably the most common. There is only one vent on the front side. Another one below the back of the long side. The zipper at the entrance is double, so if you don't have to worry about rain, you can open the top to increase the number of ventilation holes.
However, the area is smaller than other models, and is minimal. The material itself is breathable, but condensation will greet you in the morning. The day begins with wiping off condensation. Conversely, this model is the warmest. If you close the entrance, you will be able to warm yourself with just your own body temperature.
It is highly airtight, which is great for staying at a shelter in cold weather. This one has also been thoroughly seamed.
Ease of setup and removal
You can just insert two poles and start it up, so you won't be confused at all. The pole size is the same, and one side of the insertion slot is sewn, so it can be easily set up by one person.
The smallest installation area of the comparisons this time is also a high point. Even when used on narrow ridges, it can be easily built without any location. This is a Japanese manufacturer, and they understand well. The withdrawal itself is simply a matter of pulling out the pole. It is self-supporting, so it doesn't even need to be peg down and there's no problem even with rock ridges where pegs cannot be used. A tensioning rope (sold separately) can also be installed, so it can be used even in strong winds.
This is probably the key points for those who are aiming or aspire to the TransAlps.
Weather resistance and durability
The second generation has significantly improved the specifications of the materials used. Water resistance: 1,230mm, breathability: 367g/square m/h. It's 1.5 times or 2 times higher than the first generation I own. 10D Japanese-made nylon lip material that is even breathable. Still, it's 10D thin, so a ground sheet is essential. In terms of durability, we cannot expect high expectations. Instead, it's light and compact!
Weight and storage capacity
The shelter itself is 333g for two people, and 630g for two poles! Pegs and hanging rope are sold separately, but can be used at 630g. It's a small storage bag, but I'm surprised that it's not difficult to put in. Incidentally, the optional vestibule is 140g.
summary
This time, Heritage is the only Japanese brand. This is one of the few models that have specifications that can be used even in mountain areas that exceed the forest limits. This is a uniquely independent model, so you can take it anywhere, regardless of the mountain range. Once you get used to it, it won't bother you, and it's one of the brands that I hope will continue to work hard in the future.
Black Diamond Distance Shelter: It's an outstanding sense of security even though it's a shelter. The shelters built by mountain shops in America are all reliable.
This is the place
- Absolute security.
This is △
- The storage size is so large that it cannot be called a shelter.
This is a brand of BD that anyone who does mountains has always seen. A comprehensive brand of gear. Shelters also offer ambitious things.
Living comfort
Like the Heritage above, this model is closer to Zert and has no vestibule. Of course there are no options either. The poles use two stocks to reduce the weight and packing size. Sizes are for 2 people only.
A hexagonal floor with a 50cm wide mat lined up side by side and spaced enough to place small items next to it.
It is also 240cm long, so it is large enough to keep your sleeping bag from touching the shelter. It's really spacious when used alone. You can do anything! It's also 104cm tall, so I have plenty of room for 170cm.
However, the width of the ceiling is narrow despite the use of two poles, so it is better than a one pole. Still, if you're alone, it's not a problem at all!
Of course, there is condensation. However, just like the Lunar Solo, there is a vent at the zenith, so I was prepared for it as a Zert-shaped one, but it didn't seem that bad. The mesh panels are all around the short side of the feet, and the top of the entrance is also mesh, so it seems to ventilate surprisingly well.
Ease of setup and removal
There is no difficulty in setting up the equipment itself, but the way to install the stock is a bit tedious. The original BD stock can be set up much faster, but for other stocks, it takes a little time to install the attachment. Still, it's much faster than a tent.
First, peg down the four corners. The thin pull on the feet is easier to adjust later after stretching them longer. Prepare two stocks, connect small poles, and hook them up to complete the project. There's nothing difficult about it, and even first-time users can build it quickly.
When I left the bag, it was a bit difficult to put the main unit in the included bag. I would replace it with a larger staff bag.
Weather resistance and durability
Both the main floors are made of polyester 30D. Is this material really 30D? It's so firm and reliable that you might think. The seam is also perfect. Maybe you don't need a ground sheet.
Even the narrow zenith area is as large as a one pole, it has a higher resistance to wind. The design that lets wind pressure escape is reliable under the ridge. It is a Yamaya shelter, with the use of polyester, which makes it difficult to change the tension even when wet. wonderful.
Weight and storage capacity
What would it be like if the shelter itself is actually measured at 670g, six pegs, a thrust rope, and attachments are 240g, and the total is over 900g? You think so, right? The shelter itself is also not too small and not packed together, so it is larger than a poor double-wall tent.
However, when you actually stay there, there is an indescribable sense of security at this shelter.
summary
This model clearly states its compactness and lightness as a shelter. Still, there is no doubt that the construction and removal of the shelter is fast. And in terms of protection, it is the best of the five models.
I don't think it's a very popular choice in terms of UL hiking, but I think there's a different kind of mountain style that makes this model come into play.
ZEROGRAM Thru Hiker 1p: Combines the comfort of the tent with the ease of use of the shelter. A super lightweight Korean brand tent that is attacking in various ways
This is the place
- It is fast and fast for a double wall tent.
This is △
- As a result, cleaning up afterwards is a lot of hassle.
This year marks its 10th year in a Korean gear manufacturer, rebranded, changed its logo, and has also launched apparel. It attracted attention when it debuted as an outer pole tent, and is still offering multiple lightweight, easy-to-use tents.
Since we are taking part in a shelter project this time, there are few noticeable specs, but it is a very attractive model when viewed as a tent.
Living comfort
Looking at it as a solo tent, there is plenty of living space. There is ample space for both width and length.
What makes it different from other solo tents is the vestibule installed on the head. You can use wet or dirty items that you don't want to put on the floor as a second storage space that is different from the vestibule.
The overhead space is also excellent, and the outer poles provide plenty of space overhead, making it extremely comfortable, and even in the rain, you can spend time without any stress, including cooking.
The front mesh floor space is made of special monofilament. This water repellent ability is amazing. The condensation is solid, but even if the accumulated water droplets fall, the mesh repels firmly, so the floor does not get flooded.
The fly covers the entire area up to the very edge of the ground, so there is no rain coming in, and there is a vent at the zenith to ensure a good ventilation.
This model has more than enough extras as a double wall tent.
Ease of setup and removal
Speaking of Zerogram, it is the shape of this outer pole.
When installing, first peg down the four corners. Then insert the outer pole and lift it up with the clip. Finally, I fixed both ends of the two short poles, and in no time the tent rose up and pegs down the remaining fulcrums to complete the process. It's done at the speed of a shelter.
The reason why this double-wall tent allows for quick setup is that the inner tent is connected to the fly sheet.
In most tents, the inner tent is raised with a pole and then a fly sheet is over it, but when using an outer pole such as a zero gram, the fly sheet and inner tent are connected and set up together. This makes setting up much faster.
On the other hand, condensation occurs in tents, and in the case of an inner tent with a large mesh part, the water droplets accumulate inside the fly sheet. In a normal tent, you can store water droplets that have accumulated on the fly sheet after being removed to some extent, but in the case of Zerogram, the inner tent is connected, making it difficult to dispose of water droplets when it is removed. This point differs depending on where you place the points.
Weather resistance and durability
The fly and floor are 15D sil nylon. The mesh is a 20D monofilament mesh. The ground sheet lasts longer if used. Of course, it has been seamed. The fly is well-bearing to the ground, and I think it's quite wind-resistant. However, since peg down is intended, it would be difficult to set up on ground where the pegs do not penetrate.
Weight and storage capacity
The total amount is just over 1,000g, including the poles and pegs needed for setup. It is not the lightest solo tent, but it is light enough. Smaller storage size, including the size. This model is perfectly satisfying given the comfort of the living space.
summary
Due to the speed of setup, we chose the double wall tent as a comparison item within the shelter this time. The comfort is unique to a tent. In terms of total usability, it may be a hassle to dry and store after you get home, but it is extremely easy to use in the field. It is extremely fast to install in a double wall tent, and is excellent for use in the rain and for retracting (you can even hold the inner tent with the fly sheet still behind). Few people use it, so I think it's an interesting tent.

summary
This time we reviewed Shelter Type 5 (strictly, one double-wall tent is included).
Lightening the equipment is an inseparable important point for mountain climbing.
- Lighten your equipment and go further away, higher
- Lighten your equipment to reduce the strain on your body
We pursue weight reduction in two major ways, but 1. speed and 2. increase safety.
However, there are always risks there, and if you ignore this point, mountain climbing is an activity that can even lead to life.
This time, I have reviewed the benefits and risks of each model from my own perspective, but if you can clarify what you are looking for and find a model that you think is right for you, please do some research yourself and check it out.
- Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo is relatively easy to move from the tent .
- In terms of UL shelter, it's Gossamer Gear THE ONE .
- The Heritage Crossover Dome 2G can be taken almost anywhere in the mountains of Japan .
- If you're looking for protection and want installation speed, try Black Diamond Distance Shelter .
- ZEROGRAM Thru Hiker 1p with tent comfort and fast installation .
All models guarantee the ease of installation of shelters.
Lightness and protection are difficult to balance, so think carefully about how much each person will look for.
Condensation occurs even in regular tents, so try to get along well. Even if you are not a shelter, you should be less likely to make mistakes if you are conscious of waterproofing measures such as staff bags and sleeping bag covers.
I love the excitement I feel after getting new equipment, but the trial and error before that is even more fun. Based on your own knowledge and experience, what should you add to your equipment to help you step up? In a sense, shelters are a high hurdle, but I'm sure it will be an interesting challenge!
Now, have a fun mountain trip with new tools!
Keroppa
It's been over 30 years since I started to wander around the mountains and wander. I didn't join a mountain club, but I was enjoying the book, magazines, and web information by examining it with my own body, and for some reason I started working for a certain outdoor gear manufacturer. The style of playing in the mountains on weekends all year round, and we enjoy not only peak hunting and traverse climbing, but also fly fishing in the basement, river climbing, BC skiing, trail running, fast packing, orienteering, and more, depending on the season. I love gear, and I can't help but sample items that interest me! I was making excuses and bought it, but by chance I decided to write about it here. I am grateful for your continued support in this industry, but I will review it from the perspective of a first user without any consideration. I will do my best to contribute to all the activities that spread out from new gear!
