RidgeNote verdict

A hexagonal single-wall shelter on one trekking pole, with steep walls that shed wind and a vestibule big enough to cook under in weather. Owners rate the space and the price highly and it has carried a great many thru-hikes; the two consistent criticisms are that it arrives unsealed unless you pay for sealing, and that the single wall wets the inner on humid nights. The trade-off is fiddle for value: it demands a careful pitch and a seam-seal session. It suits a solo hiker who will spend an evening preparing gear rather than more money.
