Big Sky Soul-tält - ultralätta versioner för fynd och cykelpackning

I have had great experience with Big Sky's 1 person tents in the past, this will be my second soul tent. The first lasted more than five years. Lightweight equipment often is not adequately durable, but that is not the case with these tents. Also, I was glad to find that they still offer excellent customer support.

Solid tent! You can find a detailed review and lots of photos here: https://bikepacking.com/gear/big-sky-soul-tent-review/

My Soul 1P has been with me on many adventures over the past few years. I originally chose it because I needed something to serve as both a mosquito net in a malarial environment and also as a shelter for wilderness backpacking. It turned out to be perfect for that, and many other things too. Since then it's been bike touring in Patagonia, traveling in West Africa, backpacking in the Sierra Nevada mountains, bikepacking across the entire US, and more. At the end of a long day on the road or trail, I always enjoy setting it up and crawling inside. It's very roomy, extremely quick to set up, and has kept me dry through some nasty storms.

I especially love that the Soul is completely freestanding, even the vestibule, which is unusual among lightweight tents. It's less of an issue when hiking, but when bike touring or traveling I sometimes need to pitch in a parking lot, on a porch, or even inside a building - places where stakes aren't going to work. I also like that the interior is completely mesh, which is great for ventilation when it's hot out, while the rain fly provides great weather protection. It's a really flexible system.

Despite heavy use, it's held up well and been very reliable. The zipper has needed some upkeep over the years to keep it running smoothly, and the elastic cord in the poles eventually became stretched. I recently replaced the poles with the new shorter bikepacking length, which I love - it fits nicely on the handlebars of my drop bar mountain bike.

Thanks Big Sky for making this fantastic and very versatile lightweight tent! I recommend it often to people I meet on the road and trail.

Tente ultra légère, ultra compactable et spacieuse. Je fais 1,8 m et m'y sens à l'aise pour dormir et m'asseoir. La tente est autoportante donc facile à installer avec peu d'emprise au sol. Le ciel étoilé est un concept merveilleux et unique. Bravo pour cette belle réalisation qui reste à un prix très abordable . Merci
