Gossamer Gear - The One

Product Highlight: Gossamer Gear "The One" Ultralight Tent

Imagine this: you're miles from civilization, the stars above brighter than any nightlight, and your tent weighs less than your water bottle. Enter Gossamer Gear’s The One: a minimalist’s dream and a bikepackers best friend. At just 17 ounces (yes, you read that right—barely over a pound), this ultralight single-person tent combines durability, comfort, and portability. Priced competitively for the ultralight category, The One is a go-to solution for bikepackers seeking to shave weight without sacrificing protection.

With a packed size comparable to a Nalgene bottle, The One tucks easily into even the most minimalist setups. This tent is designed for use with trekking poles, though as bikepackers don't carry these, Gossamer Gear offers a dedicated pole set to make setup a breeze.

Key Features of Gossamer Gear The One

1. Featherlight Weight
Weighing just 17 ounces, The One redefines what it means to travel light. Perfect for thru-hikers or bikepackers prioritizing ounces over pounds. This tent frees up pack space for essential snacks or, you know, an extra pair of socks.

2. Compact Pack Size
Folded down, The One’s diminutive size rivals your favorite burrito (but lasts longer in the wilderness). Slide it into a side pocket or stuff sack without compromising other gear.

3. Single-Wall Design
This single-wall tent provides a seamless balance between weight savings and weather protection. No fussy rainfly, no extra steps—just efficient, functional design.

4. Easy Setup Options
The One deploys like a charm. The pole set from Gossamer Gear replaces standard trekking poles and makes set up simple. Stake out the corners, insert poles, stake out the vestibule and opposite wall, and your all done. The shelter pitches surprisingly taught and provides plenty of protection.

5. Ventilation Done Right
Don’t let its minimalist look fool you. Strategic mesh panels and a well-designed layout ensure ample airflow, keeping condensation at bay during humid nights.

Lightweight but tough—the perfect companion for any outdoor adventure.
