SlingFin - Portal 1 Tent

The Portal 1 rounds out the fan-favorite Portal family. It's Slingfin's lightest freestanding tent with a minimum weight of only 2.5lbs. To make the Portal 1, they kept all their favorite aspects of the original 2-person Portal, but optimized the geometry and features for a solo hiker. What they DIDN'T do is eliminate any pockets or details that make the Portal series the most livable backpacking tents on the market.

To avoid the coffin-like feeling of many 1-person tents, they extended the Portal 1's cross pole so the side walls of the tent are beyond vertical, providing tons of volume and headroom up high. The extra long cross pole creates a super roomy vestibule with plenty of overhang when the vestibule doors are rolled back.

Their 10D Nylon 66 Ripstop silicone-coated flysheet fabric is basically magic, with better UV resistance than fabrics three times its weight (read more about their UV testing here), super low water absorption (aka quick dry times), and incredible mold/mildew resistance. The silicone coating will not break down in your closet and produce that "old tent smell" that haunts well-loved gear. The 20D PE-coated floor fabric strikes a good balance between light weight and durability and doesn't absorb water, unlike PU-coated floor fabrics. It also has far more hydrolytic stability than PU coatings and won't become flaky and smelly with time. Pre-installed spare sliders on all the zippers double your zippers' lifespan and eliminate the need for half-baked field repairs when you're 90% of the way to the terminus of whatever long trail you're on.

To prolong the life of your Portal's floor, pick up a Portal 1 footprint.
