Tarptent - Moment DW

We have, and like, 2 1P tents: * TarpTent Moment DW, non-freestanding, single hoop/tunnel design, quite stormworthy (with "solid interior"), very fast pitch, 2 doors + 2 small vestibules. As I type this, my wife is currently using it on a solo backpacking trip. Optional 2nd (arch) pole for snow loads. Take paracord loops for anchors when camping on slabs. * MLD DuoMid (silpoly), floorless 'mid shelter. As with all 'mid shelters, stormworthiness depends on the pitch. I endorse having both a stormworthy 2-wall tent and a floorless single-wall 'mid for mountain trips. Several of my mountaineering buds use Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 for their 1-person tent, and a few others have tiny single-wall freestanding ledge tents, e.g., Black Diamond Firstlight, which are too cramped for me. Another bud has TarpTent Notch 1 (trekking pole tent) which is similar to Moment DW, a bit light but not quite as stormworthy and considerably longer pitch time. IMO, the extra weight of the Moment DW is worth the extra protection for high mountains.

Is that just -30 without winds that are too crazy or snow? If yes, you might want to consider a 3 season tent with a solid inner. It made quite a difference between when I was camping in an unusually cold Scottish winter. In my case I had as using a tarptent moment dw.

I switched from the Moment DW to the ProTrail because I didn't like packing with struts.

Scarp1 is long enough, and in terms of design, If pitched correctly, is more taut and solid than an Akto. It doesn't have quite the build quality Which is reflected in the cost, but it's good enough. And you have the option of the extra crossing poles for freestanding. (Although this will make it heavier than an Akto then). A longer, better ventilated alternative to the Enan is the Tarptent Moment. Also has an extra crossing pole available.

I use the tarptent moment. Its the fastest tent to set up I've ever owned. Light and versatile.

Do you hike with poles? If so, the single-walled Zpacks Hexamid can be set up with your hiking poles and is USD $499. My Zpacks single-walled tents perform poorly in rainy, humid conditions but making this compromise will save you weight. Tarptent makes several double-walled tents for less than USD $500 that perform well, and there are also some excellent Chinese-made Lanshan tents on Aliexpress. My double-walled Tarptent performs much better than my single-walled Zpacks tents when it's set up, but it's also much heavier to carry.

I thought about the xmid and the Tarptent Dipole. Ended up with the Dipole because I'm tall and I didnt like the large footprint required to set up the Tarptent. I got the 1p and it's huge in the inside (for a ul tent).
