The Ghisallo 1 from Mountain Hardwear is a freestanding solo tent that offers great ventilation and secure bike storage—now's the time to act on those bike touring plans.

  • Ghisallo features 1 mesh door with dry-entry vestibule, plus a 2nd vestibule that stores your bike upright and fully enclosed out of sight
  • Bike vestibule is accessible from inside the tent through a zippered porthole
  • Ghisallo is made with lightweight materials including a coated nylon ripstop canopy and fly, a durable nylon taffeta floor and Atlas 7001UL aluminum poles
  • Ghisallo's tent poles break down into small sections that fit easily inside your pannier
  • Evolution Tension Arch™ technology results in a light, strong tent; added fabric reinforces the poles and stabilizes them in 3 dimensions
  • Welded SVX window lets light in and allows views out; SVX window film offers excellent UV- and cold-resistance, and it's is cold-tested to -60°F
  • For extra stability each guyout point clips to the frame on the interior side of the rainfly via welded attachment points
  • Reflective starter points, color-coded pole end locations, Power Clips and superlight 0.25 in. buckles/webbing ensure a quick and easy setup, at night, with gloves on
  • All guyout points and zipper pulls are reflective for easy identification and mesh pockets keep tent organized
  • Pitch Light Option: Footprint (sold separately), fly and poles pitch without canopy to create a lightweight, warm-weather shelter
  • Comes with stuff sacks, wire-peg stakes, guylines, owner's manual and illustrated pitching instructions
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Ghisallo 1 Tent - '09 Closeout:

    While the "Concept" is good, the design is awful!You cannot cover the avg size bike and zip it closed! You are exposing the bike to all weather conditions. The sleeping corders are more than cramped, and I am a 175pd 5'9 guy, so forget it if you are taller or wider! I did not use this in wind or rain so cannot speak for weather resistance. Hope they will redesign this and make it actually function! Absolutely not even worth [$]

        Comments about Mountain Hardwear Ghisallo 1 Tent - '09 Closeout:

        Making a tent that covers both you and your bike is going to have a few compromises (unless weight and bulk are not a factor) but it gets the job done. I have yet to take it out on trips more than two days but it does protect my bike from rain (hypothetically -this is California after all).

        Next summer I will take this to the Dordogne in France for a three week tour. The one thing I would not want to face after a hard nights rain is a soaked drive train and a water logged frame. As for the other side, it is roomy enough for me and ventilates well.
