Your cart is empty.The Lynx 1 is loaded with features and is great for your solo getaway. With the freestanding design and pole clips that quickly attach to the aluminum poles, it sets up easily. There are extra-large #8 zippers on the door and vestibule. What's especially nice about the Lynx is that the walls are mostly meshed, which helps increase ventilation. To be sure no corners are cut, ALPS has the factory seal the fly and floor seams and coats the floor with 2000mm to keep you dry if you run into a rain shower.

ALPS makes excellent tents at a fraction of the cost of other high-end manufacturers. This one is no exception. Is it ultralight or hyperlite? No. Is it an ideal tent for backpacking? Sure. It's compact, light, and super-easy to put up and take down.This tent's design does not lend it particularly well to ventilation when it's hot outside--you may have to rig the fly a little bit to get a cross breeze to come all the way through the tent. Fortunately it's small enough that if you do it right, you can reach outside the tent walls and bring the fly all the way back down to cover everything if a pop-up shower interrupts your backcountry nap.My ONLY criticism of ALPS tents is I wish they had some integrated mesh/elastic pockets in the corners, instead of the 2 hanging pockets on either end and the one you have to hang with hooks from the top.

I got this as a tent for my teenage son to go camping, but I use it more than he has. It is high value, it is seam sealed, it is rugged, it is warm. Set up is basically idiot proof. The short version of the review, this tent is good to go. You won't regret buying it.The only potential con is the weight. 5 pounds is substantial for a one man tent. However in exchange for that weight, you get a freestanding tent, and a 70D floor. I have a big agnes copper spur UL 2 person tent that is much bigger and half of the weight, but it also costs 4 to 6 times the price, and is much more delicate. I also have a six moons designs solo that is one third of the weight, but is a single wall tent, non free standing, less rugged, and 2 to 3 times the price.This tent is perfect for entry level campers and backpackers that don't feel confident in finding the best place to set up camp. It is also for people willing to sacrifice weight savings for rugged reliability and simplicity.I love all 3 tents that I own, and for most situations, my Alps 1p wouldn't be my go to choice. However, if I were forced to pick only one tent to bring with me in a true survival scenario where reliability was my highest priority, I would most likely choose this tent. I don't think I can give it any better praise.Oh yeah, the factory stakes are garbage, but high quality stakes are cheap and easy to replace. Get yourself some MSR groundhogs with all the money your saved getting this tent and your g2g.

I’ve used this tent for two years now on various trails in the Shenandoah mountains, Big bend national park, and various campsites up and down the east coast. Very easy to assemble and packs down very small, especially if you separate the sticks and put them on the outside of your pack.Only cons would be a lack of airflow sometimes, and I upgraded the weak stakes that it originally came with, as they vent. Very good tent.

As soon as the LYNX 1 arrived, I put it together. I looked all around for assembly instruction. They were sown into the tote bag for added convenience. But after the first time putting the tent together, the instructions aren't needed. I disasembled it, packed it in about 15 minutes. No sweat!I reassemble the LYNX 1 (one person tent). It was up and ready for use in about 15 minutes. Weather was extremely hot and no wind. I was sweating bullets! The only thing that requires any thought is the two flexable sectioned poles need to crisscross at the center. The pole sections are held together by a bungee cord. Each section is about 1ft. poles are provided with a storage bag, as well as, the stakes.The tent is really two(2) pieces. The tent with large access zippered door and mosquito netted windows in the sides. There are soft plastic open clips that attach to the poles and are obvious where they attach to each pole. A larger clip at the very top of the tent goes onto the point where the poles cross. Once all is clipped together the entire tent can be picked up with two(2) fingers and placed where wanted.The second important part is the cover or rain-cover. This is pulled over the tent and each corner has a buckle that clips onto the tents corners. Again, the tent can be easily picked up. The front of the cover has a large zipper for entry. The cover has four guide strings that can be attached for extra stability. A loop in the back can be staked down. The two unzippered flaps in front can, also. be staked or use one flap as a shade with the other flap rolled up and secured by tie-downs located in each side of the cover.Extra cloth is provided for holes in the rain repellent cloth. However, the user must provide the super-glue.One thing that would be nice if a ground cover(4x8) was provided to protect the bottom from being punctured and wornout quickly. I believe plastic sheeting can be found at a hardware store or online.Overall this is a well made backpacking tent. It will provide good cover for overnight hikes. It is very light and won't add any substantial weight to the pack. My caccoon sleeping bag will fit, covering the entire floor of this tent.I would recommend this purchase to others. I haven't gone out to the wilds yet. But, I don' t see any difficulties with LYNX 1.

pesa 1.800 kg. Por el precio me parece una excelente tienda. El toldo es perfecto para aguantar lluvia y tiene buena ventilación Se arma super fácil. Tiendas más ligeras de una persona ya se disparan muchÃsimo en el precio, al menos en amazon. Por cierto, podrÃan caber dos personas súper pegaditas y si no tienen bronca de dormir encimadas, abrazadas o de ladito (yo mido 1.63)

I got this on black Friday sale. Fantastic value. Have taken it bike packing twice now and it's been brilliant. It's light and easy to setup. It was remarkably stable in wind which surprised me. It seems tall. It rained on me twice and I remained dry. If I had any complaint, the tent zippers were awkward and kept catching the fly. But this is a minor complaint. Very pleased with this purchase.

Con ayuda de un amigo, pude fácilmente instalar la casa de campaña. Desmontarla tampoco fue un problema.

Good cheap tent. I don't think you can do much better for the price.

Resistió tormentas muy fuertes con solo un poco de agua que entró por una esquina del piso. Pero lo sesolvi levantando para dejar correr el agua, casi estaba yo sobre un cauce de agua y resistió muy bien
