Can you leave the web truss/fly/tub all connected then just slide the poles in the same way you can with the full tent setup?
I didn’t specifically try that but I would say yes. I’ll try it this week before the tent gets packed away from this last trip. My only complaint with the web truss is when the poles want to go passed the loops rather than through them (if that makes sense?). When the tent is wet from repeated setup tear downs it’s especially bad about snagging.

In case it wasn’t already mentioned, wanted to point out that a lot of stone glacier tents seem to be mostly rebrandings of Slingfin tents. This one looks a lot to me like the Slingfin Hotbox though I’m sure there are some differences. https://www.slingfin.com/collections/all-tents/products/hotbox

Nothing wrong with that, and I don’t mean it as a criticism. And hey, this is apparently going for $100 less than the hotbox. Just pointing it out so folks know that there are very similar options in case they have difficulty finding one or the other, etc
SG specs different weight fly and body materials on theirs compared to the SlingFin tents. Different colorway as well. Everything else is the same dimensionally.

It’s my understanding that SG has Slingfin make their tents but there are slight differences in materials between the two.

Sweet setup. Sling fin makes great stuff. I like the color choices for SG. Do they make more subdued colors as well?

Over the course of this winter, I’ll be putting the Stone Glacier Sky Solus 1P tent through its paces. Stone Glacier graciously offered this bomber 1 person tent up for a winter review.

I’ll primarily be using this tent for overnight predator hunting trips. However, I did get to knock the shiny off of it on a recent trip into PWS.

My initial impressions of this tent is that it has a very compact footprint and highly modular. It can be pitched in a multitude of configurations and even pitched with the fly left attached to the body as an option.

***Update 2/22/23*** @HuntWyld just finished his review of the Sky Solus 1P.

And check out my final review.

All the specs can be found below:


We got into the cove fairly late in the evening and I didn’t do a great job of staking the tent out. My laziness had me assuming I’d wake up with a condensation/frost nightmare which amazingly didn’t come to fruition. I did not use the footprint and still woke up with a dry floor which was quite shocking given the conditions.

Maybe not the handiest opening for high rain environments but I was able to sit in my sleeping bag while I heated water and ate breakfast in the morning. The side openings to access the vestibules take a minute to get used to but there’s loads of room for one person and their gear. All the junk in this picture was inside the tent with me and room to spare. Aubrey and I will likely use this tent as a two person shelter in the future.

What is the other tent in this photo?
