Hello!

I'm looking for a Nemo Meta 1p.

Thanks!

I had one that I got at a discount from I believe REI outlet, it appeared that many places were trying to get rid of them at one time. I returned it, I did not find it a good design, nor was the weight accurate. It sagged at the ends, I felt water could pool as the sil-nylon stretched as it does. It does include 2 additional guy out points which I have seen someone use 2 additional sticks to get more room and get rid of the sag, but that's 2 more lines, and stakes and the need to find 2 suitable branches.

It just seemed to me like a attempt at a ultralight tent where every thing was just done wrong. Looking at the reviews it does look positive, but just want to let you know my experience as buying used you will most likely not have the same return policy as REI.

Thanks for the info! I thought this was going to be "The Tent" because I'm 6'4". UGH! The search continues.....

One more funny point that I just remembered, the door opens in a way that the trekking pole bisects the opening, This only allows you to exit on one side and the rest of the zipper on the other side is useless.
