Six Moon Designs Skyscape Scout
Best ultralight shelter for solo long distance hikers.
This is the rare ultralight shelter that actually accommodates taller hikers without feeling like a claustrophobic coffin. You will need to source your own poles and stakes, but the trade-off is a spacious, airy sanctuary that keeps your pack weight low without requiring a massive investment.
