The ultra-lightweight and durable KAMINA MONOPOLE 1, a compact one-person monopole tent weighing only 800g/ 1 lb 12.2 oz (Minimum freestanding weight), offers wind and weather resistance for all seasons while providing a comfortable living space. (*For severe winter mountain conditions, we recommend using the Kamina Dome, which offers better heat retention.) This non-freestanding, single-wall tent with front leg room can be set up with a minimum of 2 stakes. We carefully selected the highest quality, made-in-Japan, strong 66-nylon ripstop fabric that can offer top-rated strength for all seasons while remaining both ultra-lightweight and astonishingly compact. In addition to the high quality fabric, the "Tension Sling System," our patented technology, is applied by sewing the ultra-high-strength polyethylene fiber IZANAS on the ridge line. This improves the tensile strength of the main canopy, making it strong and durable despite its lightweight fabric. The diagonal arrangement of a single pole minimizes dead space, and the interior space is comparable to that of a cross-pole type tent. As an ultra-lightweight tent weighing less than 1 kg, KAMINA MONOPOLE 1 offers the best of both tent and zelt (Bivy Shelter).
