Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Moondance 1FN 1 Person Tent is perfect for any hiker, bike packer or adventure traveller looking for the best, lightweight, 1 person, 3-4 season tent on the market

Mont Adventure Equipment says: 

The Moondance 1 Full Nylon (FN) Tent is a lightweight, fully seam-sealed, totally waterproof, 3-4 season, 1 person tent that doesn't force you to camp cramped or exposed to the elements. Ideal for any bike-packer, hiker or adventure traveller looking for the best, most liveable, 1 person tent on the market.

The Mont Moondance 1FN has 25% more internal floor area than the average 1 person tent. A 10.2 inches (26cm) wide 86.6 inches (220cm) long triangular expansion opposite the doorway provides waterproof internal space for your clothes, pack & accessories. Totalling 24.87ft2 (2.31m2) of internal floor space makes the Moondance 1 an incredibly spacious 1 person tent. Steep walls at either end and a wide ridge pole across the roof provide a spacious interior ideal for waiting out poor weather in comfort.

With a Full Nylon interior the Moondance 1FN allows you greater protection, particularly in cold and wintery conditions. Ultralight 20 denier rip-stop Nylon provides greater insulation in colder conditions, more protection from condensation coming off the fly, and prevents wind-blown snow coming in if the weather really turns on you.

Mont Tents are sold fully seam sealed, waterproof and ready for rain straight out of the box. There is no need to seam seal your new Mont tent.
