Ultralight Tent for one person Illusion Solo Tent | LITEWAY

Description

Ultralight 1-Person Tent Illusion Solo | Liteway

Ultralight 1-person tent Liteway Illusion Solo is a single-wall trekking pole tent for lightweight hiking, backpacking and bikepacking. Its pyramid-style construction is pitched with one trekking pole, so no separate tent poles are required.

Illusion Solo combines the low weight of a tarp-style shelter with an integrated floor. The interior area is approximately 2 m², and the vestibule provides around 0.82 m² of additional covered space. The vestibule is approximately 60 cm deep, giving you room for shoes and small items outside the main sleeping area.

Ultralight single-wall tent for one person

Illusion Solo is designed for solo hikers who want to keep shelter weight low without giving up an enclosed sleeping space. The outer dimensions are approximately 276 × 120 cm, while the sleeping area measures approximately 230 × 88 cm. Around the centre, the interior widens to approximately 115 cm.

The manufacturer recommends Illusion Solo for users up to approximately 185 cm tall. For taller users, the sloping walls may reduce the practical sleeping space.

Pitched with one trekking pole

Illusion Solo is pitched using one trekking pole approximately 130–135 cm long. A dedicated reinforced pocket at the peak supports the pole and keeps the structure tensioned.

Always protect the sharp tip of the trekking pole before pitching. Do not place an uncovered sharp pole tip directly against the upper fabric, as this may damage the material.

Stakes required

A minimum of 6 stakes is required for the basic pitch. Stakes and trekking poles are not included.

Additional guylines can be used to improve stability and increase interior space in windier conditions.

60 cm vestibule

Illusion Solo has an approximately 60 cm deep vestibule. It provides sheltered space for shoes, part of your backpack or other small gear that you want to keep outside the main sleeping area but protected from the weather.

Single entrance with YKK AquaGuard zip

The tent has one entrance with a YKK AquaGuard #3 water-resistant zip.

The AquaGuard construction helps reduce water penetration through the zip, but it does not make the zip or the whole shelter completely waterproof in every condition.

Two ventilation openings

Illusion Solo has two separate ventilation openings on the sides. Together with the mesh areas around the entrance and lower edges, they help improve airflow and reduce condensation inside the single-wall shelter.

As with all single-wall tents, condensation can still occur, especially in cold, humid and windless conditions.

Silpoly 20D Ripstop 2000 mm

The outer fabric is 1.1 oz Silpoly 20D Ripstop with a stated waterproof rating of 2000 mm. Silpoly combines low weight, a small packed size and good weather resistance.

The peak area is reinforced with a durable reinforcement panel.

Seams must be sealed by the user

Illusion Solo is supplied with unsealed seams. If the tent will be used in rain, the seams should be treated with a suitable silicone-based seam sealer before use.

Liteway recommends a silicone-based seam sealer such as Seam Grip SIL.

Catenary cut and wind-resistant construction

The shelter panels use a catenary cut, which helps the fabric tension evenly when pitched. Line locks at the attachment points make it easy to adjust guyline tension even after the tent is already standing.

The UHMW PE guylines are lightweight and have very little stretch, helping the shelter maintain a stable pitch.

Protecting the floor

Although Illusion Solo has an integrated floor, the floor fabric should still be protected from sharp stones, sticks and abrasion whenever possible.

A lightweight Tyvek or polycro footprint works well if you want to extend the life of the floor without adding much extra weight.
