Six Moon Designs - Haven

I use the six moon design ultralight haven bundle which can sleep two, but so far I've mostly used it just for myself. It's still less than 1kg but does require hiking poles to set up, or alternatively two additional tent poles.

Six Moon Designs Haven tarp and net tent has worked great for spouse and myself last several years. Lots of room, with offset peak adding to useable headroom. Holds up great in heavy rain. I’d say is easy to erect. We keep the net tent attached to the tarp, so erects quickly by staking out the four corners, inserting trekking poles in the vestibules, and lastly adjusting corner guy lines.

Used the haven on the PCT. Did me well 💚

I love my two person six moons haven

It comes seam sealed too! The more I read about dyneema fabric (dcf), the more negatives I hear about it...loud, breaks down if repeatedly folded in the same places, it's pretty transparent, etc. If you want to go a little lighter and a little more expensive, and you like the 2 person with trekking pole design, the Haven by Six Moons is really nice. They were having a pretty good sale on them a couple months ago on their older stock.

This is heavy and really big. However, many hundreds of hikers have done the trail with gear this heavy and then some! It comes down to personal preference. If you decide to go lighter, you could get a tent of the same size, that is under 2.5 lbs, for under $300 (especially with cyber week sales happening right now!). I hiked with a massive 2P tent from Six Moons Designs and loved it.

I brought my Six Moon Designs on a PCT thru hike and absolutely loved it. If you plan on backpacking and use trekking poles, it's a great choice. If you're doing more car camping, I have a cheap pop-up tent from Amazon for that and it sets up in about 1 minute. For car camping, the easier the better IMO.
