Six Moon Designs Lunar Duo Outfitter 2 Person Ultralight Backpacking Tent. 57 oz Gray. This Hiking or Backpacking Tent Provides Unsurpassed Space, Comfort, and Durability at The Perfect Price.

Lunar duo tent. Lightweight. Durable. Easy set up. Very spacious. Very very very good value for a quality backpacking tent with features and materials on par with the big brands at a fraction of the cost. This is not a “cheap” tent even thought it is inexpensive. I have the lunar duo and the lunar solo and I have used them a LOT in many many conditions from heavy rain, heavy wind, to heavy snow. I think six moon tents are the best value for the money available.

I really like this tent. I think that as far as 2-person single-wall tents go, it's one of the best options on the market. It's very lightweight and durable, easy to set up, and has good options for customization. The line tensioners aren't perfect, but one of the only things I would change about the tent.

It's a great tent, but get familiar with setting it up before you're on the trail.

I've only used the Lunar Duo for one trip so far but it was fantastic. I'm used to a one man backpacking tent that's roughly the same weight and very small on the inside(I'm 6'1" 220). The lunar duo is huge! It packs up small but has plenty of room on the inside. There is enough room to keep your pack at your feet if that's how you roll. My girlfriend and I loved the space and even hosted another couple for a game of cards. The tent is not free standing but once guyed up it is very sturdy. Although I've only used it a few nights and haven't totally fine tuned the fly settings, it did a great job of keeping the wind out and moisture out. The last night of our trip we camped on an exposed bald at 6k feet with high winds and were not effected by the low clouds or high winds. Absolutely love the tent and for the price would be surprised to find a better deal.

Just used this tent for 4 nights at 9800’ elevation in August. It is a good lightweight option, and held up really well, but still has some drawbacks. First, no pockets or gear slings or anything internally. It’s just wall to wall tent. If sleeping two people, that leaves no where to keep things like bear spray other than under your pillow. Also, the need for hiking poles is a neat idea. However, if you are base camping and set up the tent, you then have to take it down at least partially if you want to take your trekking poles on any day hikes. Also, stakes are not included in the tent or the weight ratings. Are you kidding me? If stakes are necessary in order for your tent to even function (which they are), then include them in the purchase and the weight rating. Last, if you buy the tent through the company’s website, you have to pay extra in order to have the seams sealed. Excuse me? You don’t seal the seams of your product automatically? That means the tent is completely useless in any precipitation at all, unless you pay the company more to actually complete their tent. You can opt in to sealing the seams yourself which I did, but it took about an hour and is a huge hassle. Just seal the stupid seams already. That would be like having to pay Levi’s more to include a zipper in your jeans. Ridiculous. So yes, overall it seems to be a decent tent. However, the severe lack of any “wow” factor and even a huge backwards step in basic tent fabrication make it impossible to rate this tent any higher.

Excellent tent for backpacking. 3.5 pounds, easy set up and far more affordable than the z packs duplex. The nylon straps used for the tent stakes are pretty dumb so I replaced them with guy lines. Good tent.

I purchased the Explorer version of the Lunar Duo with the intent to use it for canoe camping primarily on Ozark rivers. This involves gravel bar camping where precise, secure placement of tent stakes is often not possible and setting up on an uneven surface is pretty common. What is more, high humidity can be expected when camping right along the river's edge. The space to weight ratio for this tent is excellent, but that is achieved through a single wall design and the lack of a supporting frame. The only support of this tent is provided by two poles or trekking poles which can only be maintained upright through the tension of the four guy outs at the corners and the two at the sides. In order to giver the tent proper shape, the position of the guy out stakes and the tension on the guy outs is critical. While it is not difficult to achieve this when setting up on level, compacted earth, it often is not when setting up on an uneven gravel bar surface. What is more, the two expensive carbon fiber poles that I purchased for this tent don't even work with it without modification. The tips of the poles go into little nylon D rings but the poles are so slender that the D rings slide right down the poles with nothing to grab them. I had to wrap the tops of the poles with Gorilla Tape to get them to work. But far and away the biggest problem with this tent is unbelievable condensation. With only one person in the tent (me) the interior resembles a tropical rain forest on most mornings. And this is with two of the four tent flaps completely open. And because of the single wall design, once the interior of the tent is sopping wet, it is very difficult to dry and often requires turning the whole thing inside out. I saw a youtube video that suggested the condensation problem could be addressed by propping up the corner guy outs 6-8" with sticks or stakes to allow more ventilation under the eaves of the tent. I have done this and found that while it helped a little, the effect was minimal at best. This might be a very good design for back packing in the mountains of the Western US in low humidity conditions and where light weight is essential. Unfortunately, I have found that for downriver canoe camping on riverside gravel bars, it sucks.

Great tent haven't been able to put it to an actual test. I set it up in my kitchen and seemed sealed it. Easy to set up and looks like it's going to be a wonderful tent.
