Six Moon Designs - Skyscape Trekker

6’ 6” and I bought that tent and returned it. The measurements are incredibly disingenuous as it’s only that length directly on the floor due to the incredibly steep wall slopes, which I guess is perfect if you’re 2 dimensional. At 12” off the ground however where your feet and head are, it’s shorter inside than an X-Mid 1. Don’t waste your time on that tent.

I bought one back in 2017 as my first backpacking tent. It's treated me well, and through both high winds and torrential downpours.

Because it's a really old design and people moved on to newer shinier things, especially after they stopped making it in DCF. It's a great tent, especially for tall people.

I use it, and love it. So much so that when it was ~8 years old and in need of replacement, I only briefly looked at different options before buying the new version. In those 8 years it did near on 10,000 km. I replaced the zipper and it had a few tape patches from general wear/tear and a few holes because the owner is an idiot, but otherwise help up really well. I can fit myself, and my pack, inside the tent proper. Plenty of room for dirty shoes under vestibule.

I have taken my six moons design skyscape trekker everywhere. It is silpoly and has been durable to the point that I gave it to one of my teenagers (boy scout) when I bought my Owyhee tarp.

Interesting! I have a regular 2025 XMid 1P (not the XDome) and I fit in it just fine at 6'1. I've also used the SMD Skyscape Trekker, which was nice, but still a tad small for my taste (though I did fit in it).

I bought last fall and I love it. Under 2# with stakes and plenty of space for a tall guy (6'4") like me. You can also sit up straight in it which is a huge bonus. The dual doors are nice, I'm looking forward to nicer weather when I can open both sides up. My packing buddy got the Lunar solo which is a great tent in its own right, but the extra length on the Trekker is indispensable (for me, anyway). He's ~5'10" and said he's too close to the head/foot of the tent. The Lunar has far more floor space than the Trekker but it only uses a single pole so the roof slants and eliminates the headroom I have in the Trekker. I will say the vestibules on the Trekker could be better. I can set my pack upright in it but that's about all that will fit. The fly also rides a bit high so I'm worried how well the vestibules will work in the rain. It doesn't have a vent but I've camped in the rain and subfreezing temps and condensation wasn't an issue. All said and done I'm EXTREMELY happy with the tent but if you're not a giant like me, you might be fine with the Lunar or Gossamer Gear The One.

I bought one in 2018 and absolutely loved it. I wanted the new fabric last year so I sold the 2018 on ULgeartrade and bought a new one! Here’s what I like about it: super easy to set up, one piece, only takes 5 stakes to stand, poles inside the tent (can’t be knocked over by accident), mostly double wall (one panel at the foot is single wall), both doors roll completely back for a net tent experience, spacious inside but doesn’t take up a huge foot print. Only con about it is that I wish the bathtub were taller to help with splashing during rain however I tried a tarptent with a taller bathtub and experience splashing in that tent as well so 🤷‍♀️

I like my SMD Trekker tent. The A frame design allows me to sit up and change a shirt without touching the walls. It can also be made to fit in fairly tight spaces. The foot of the sleeping bag can still touch the wall at the bottom, especially when wet as the material tends to sage when wet. I just put my rain jacket over the bottom of the bag if it’s raining.

I have one and love it.
