Tarptent Dipole 1 Li

The Tarptent Dipole 1 Li is a single-wall, solo A-frame shelter pitched with trekking poles and supplemented by 7 mm carbon struts that help hold the fly's shape. The fly is DCF rated at an 8000 mm water column, while the floor uses a tougher 15D nylon 6.6 quad-ripstop rated at 4000 mm — a combination that saves weight up top while keeping durability where the tent takes the most wear, on the ground. Full weight is 703 g, dropping to 665 g in the minimum configuration. Two doors with YKK #3 Aquaguard zippers open into two vestibules totaling 1.78 m², a generous ratio against the tent's 1.52 m² of interior floor space — the vestibule-to-floor ratio works out to 117%. Seams come factory-taped, so no user sealing is needed. Pitching requires just four 22 cm Easton Nano aluminum stakes, though no optional footprint is listed as available. A 112 cm peak height allows comfortable sitting, and at 703 g total the tent sits on the lighter end of solo DCF-fly shelters.
