I love this tent. Bought it for bikepacking trips. Its super lightweight. And it fits me. I am 198cm. And 1-Person tents for people like me, are pretty rare. And i even can have all my clothing besides me in the inner tent. While the rest of my luggage fits into the vestibules. The setup is super easy. And the 2 pegs design is also incredebly stable.
i have a TT Gen. 2 Notch Li but my Moment DW is STILL my favorite solo tent. Mine is "winterized" by getting the optional Crossing Pole, shortening it 6 inches and running it UNDER the fly. A great 4 season tent, much better for winter than a Hilleberg Akto or Enan.
Love my original Moment DW. I have the ripstop inner tent and optional Crossing Pole for winter camping. I've shortened the X-ing Pole about 5 inches and run it UNDER the fly for a bit more fly support in heavy, wet snow and high winds. To do this remove the outer X-ing Pole straps, sew shortened double-sided Velcro cable wraps to the underside of the circular hypalon reinforcements (of the X-ing Pole straps) snd seam seal your stitching. The Velcro straps hold the X-ing Pole in place in very high winds. Also if your Moment DW did not come with fly hem stake loops use light nylon webbing and sew on two loops on each side, equidistant from end and center hoop. This prevents noisy and destructive flapping in high winds. I used cut-down. webbing from the X-ing Pole straps.
Have the original Moment DW and the only thing I need to add is a couple of netting pockets inside. I ran my optional crossing pole under the fly and held it with Velcro cable wrap sewn to the exterior X-ing pole attachment point reinforcement. Works great for heavy snow and high winds.
Randy, I owned the original Moment SINGLE wall tent, liked it a lot but sold it when the Moment DW came our B/C I needed a double wall solo tent for winter camping. Works great in even the worst snowstorms. (But ya need an avalanche shovel to dig out around the tent from time to time, as with any winter tent. Keeps the snow from pushing in in the fly and reducing interior space.) This tent and the very similar hiking pole supported NOTCH make setup fast and have good wind handling shapes. They can ge totally guyed for high winds and the optional Moment DW crossing pole help with snow loads AND make it freestanding!
I may sell my Moment dw for the update. One deciding factor is how much time it takes to remove/add the end struts. I'd like to be able to pack it down to that small size but not if removing the end struts defeats the purpose of the 'Moment' aspect i.e one minute setup now becomes two or more minute setup. Hopefully someone can help.
I wish it was just a bit wider at the ends... I use 25 inch pad (I mean who the hell wouldn't) but while you could make it work, it's a tight fit (from what i can gather)
Looks great. Currently own and use the notch. Looking to purchase this because my feet brush up against the end wall in the notch, getting my feet wet. Would thos tent help with that problem?
Im leaning towards an moment dw. I hope you can help me out if my lenght with a sleeping mat will fit the moment dw. Im 6.3 long and my sleeping mats height is 3.5 inch. Will this fitt in the moment dw. Maybe i will ad an inflatable pillow. Thanks.
I'm 6.1 and I don't have any problems. With that thick of a pad you'll be close to the netting when sleeping but shouldn't touch. You defently won't be able to sit up.
Has anyone had this in high winds? The single pole design seems like it would lack strength... I know there is a additional pole however I feel like even with that high winds would be a problem?

Looks straight forward enough , good vid :)
Thanks a lot!

Great explanatory video. Thank you. Now I need one of these. What is the folded pole length, please? Thanks.
Very good, looks easy
Love the simplicity and well thought out design of the Tarptent series! Any chance of a moment dw in dcf?
Very cool set up...best of both worlds.
Would like video to show how end vents work - do the triangles of fabric zip open?
Really like mine great tent except for the inner pockets and all the pole pockets could be larger.
Great video. Does anyone know how the Moment DW does in high winds vs the Tarptent Scarp1?
Very informative video, thank you. Is inner tent/wall/sheet dense enough to stop the bugs? Like blackfly (smaller than regular fly)?
Yes, we use no-see-um mesh. Nothing gets through.

I think you answered your own question....
You've always been able to remove the end struts from their sleeve on both versions. I never have..
I wish it was just a bit wider at the ends... I use 25 inch pad (I mean who the hell wouldn't) but while you could make it work, it's a tight fit (from what i can gather)
Stay tuned..
Interesting, there is a solid fabric option instead of mesh for the interior.
Yes
Or both
Looks great. Currently own and use the notch. Looking to purchase this because my feet brush up against the end wall in the notch, getting my feet wet. Would thos tent help with that problem?
How tall are you? Looking at the notch now. Also, the notch is double wall so if you touch the inner how do you get wet? Thanks
est il possible de tenir assis dedans sans avoir le dos vouté ? merci
Yes im 178cm and its ok
Can anyone comment on the silnylon fly material relaxing/sagging when wet/cold?
Kinda makes sense.
