Gossamer Gear is a one of the leading boutique manufacturers in the ultralight backing scene. I’m a regular customer and I have bought a lot of gear from them over the past couple of years, including their NightLight sleeping pad, polycro ground sheets and pack liners.

I got an email this morning from Grant Sible, the president of Gossamer Gear, announcing a new single-walled tent called "The One" made from spinnaker cloth that they’ve just brought to market. It weighs just 19 oz., before seam sealing, and includes a stuff sack and a 1.5 oz polycro ground sheet. It’s very cleverly designed and has the usual set of features offered with single walled tents including mesh between the tent walls and floor and a elevated vestibule for better ventilation. Spinnaker cloth is a ultralight silicone coated polyester fabric used to make sailboat spinnakers and sails.

Here’s a short video provided by Gossamer Gear that shows how to set up The One and its many features.
