Camping & Outdoor · Ultralight Tents

Single-wall or double-wall for ultralight backpacking?

Reviewer consensus

Single-wall trekking-pole tents (like the Featherstone Backbone) are lighter and pack smaller but are more prone to interior condensation in humid or cold conditions. Double-wall freestanding tents (like the Big Agnes Copper Spur) manage condensation and ventilation better and pitch anywhere, at a weight and cost penalty.
