## Description

3 SEASON ULTRALIGHT SHELTER: Designed by renowned thru hiker and adventure guide Andrew Skurka, the High Route 1P is an ultralight, adaptable, and versatile tent with minimal carry weight

Review: Lightweight and easy to setup - Good tent. Lightweight but with enough room for my 5-10 height. Not much room left over for gear. Instructions should state that trekking poles need to be expanded to required height AFTER they are inserted into pockets in fly. I find that to be the most difficult part of setup. I recommend it without reservations.
Review: Not sub 2 lbs - it is a good tent tho - tldr version: - tent is 2 pounds 4 ounces not the advertised 2 pounds. - tent has good ventilation while keeping you dry - Has a learning curve to set up properly. This is more than 15% heavier than advertised. This isn't much lighter than my other backpacking tent. If you are thinking about buying this tent, be aware that this is not sub 2 lbs. With that said, this doesn't seem like a bad deal at $170, but if it was much more there are other tents that beat this out. I got around to trying this tent out and moved it up to 4 stars. It kept me mostly dry on the second most wet night out camping I have ever experienced. Mud everywhere, super humid, rain, and cold to boot. This tent kept me about as dry as a tent can in this situation. I did have a fair amount of condensation on the inside of the tent, but when I checked in with other backpackers who were in the same area as me, I discovered even tarp campers were running into issues with condensation that night. With that said, it does require a couple of practice pitches before you can get a good pitch on this tent.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need to buy a footprint for this tent?**
A: I generally run this tent without the nest and just a 3’x7’ 20d ground cover. I tied the ground cloth to the shell and it works really well. It weighs 4oz so the tent in this configuration is around 26oz with 8 stakes.

**Q: So the dimensions are 8.5 l x 3.5 w for the fly.  what is lxw of the nest?  all other specs for the nest are given except lxw.**
A: The nest dimensions are L= 7ft 1in W = 2ft 6in. The foot print of the tent is quite a bit larger than the habitable space but this does ensure that you stay dry.

**Q: This shows the current high route, but the picture when i look at the order shows the old one.  which is it?**
A: The new model

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well designed.
*by G***G on July 18, 2023*

A great little trekking pole tent. A few notes from this evening's test set-up: - Weight: The packed weight (including all provided stakes and the stuff sack) of the tent I received is 2 lbs 4 oz, not 1 lb 15 oz. - Staking Out: The fly does need to be staked down squarely, but the decent length cinches on the stake loops give flexibility in stake placement and allow for easy adjustment after staking the fly down. I had no trouble getting the tent taut. - Inner Tent Attachments: The six inner tent attachments also have cinches, which are nice and provide a lot of flexibility on exact placement of the inner tent. - Buckles on Fly: The buckles across the rain fly zippers (two on the long side, one on the short side) should help reduce wear and tear on those zippers as well. - Short Stakes: The stakes are fairly short. It'll really depend on the type of ground how well they work out. I don't expect they would work well at all on sandy soil, and this non-freestanding tent is 100% dependent on those stakes succeeding. However, they worked fine in my test set-up. I'll try to update this once I've had it out on the trail.
