REI Co-op  Passage 1 Tent with Footprint

I wrote my bicycle across the US in 2020 through 18 states and used this tent in all kinds of weather and terrain. The tent was big enough for me and I am 6' tall and I was able to place my sleeping bag, pad pillow and some clothes and my panniers on the vestibule and even cook while it was freezing rain and the tent was flawless. The zippers work the way they are supposed to and I was able to set it up on concrete as well as on River beds, the beach in Oregon and the desert in Craters of the Moon in Idaho. I recommend this tent for its versatility, durability and affordability. I had tent from Kelty which is nice but heavy and Big Agnes which I had bad luck and find overpriced but this REI Passage 1 tent was great and I highly recommend it.

I used this all 2020 season on about 500 miles of total hiking over 15 trips. It is quick and easy to set up, packs well and the interior size is just perfect (I'm 5'10", 160 lbs). There is plenty of room inside and the vestibule is sized just well enough for shoes and a few items. There is not quite enough room in the vestibule to shelter the entire backpack so in wet conditions, one may need to bring a trash bag to cover up a pack. On the good side, this tent sets up in tight spots and due to being free standing, there isn't a need to guy out in all directions. The packability is great and I've never felt weighted down by this tent.

I took this tent backpacking with me in New Zealand. I went 100mi and spent many nights in this. This tent fits horizontally in my 70L backpack, or clips well to the bottom of it too. I set this up alone in maybe 10min. Never had any issues, it’s still my go to tent after years of use! Would recommend upgrading the stakes, I’ve had great luck and durability buying the MSR Groundhog stakes. As for the space it’s all you’d need if you don’t need extra room. I could throw my pack inside in a pinch, but it worked well most nights to leave it under the rain fly entrance vestibule. This tent does not disappoint! Very simple and easy to haul.

This is a pretty fantastic one-tent. The compact design allows it to fit well in my pack without taking up too much room. It’s pretty light weight too. The tent has plenty of room inside. I could fit my pack inside with me but it was a little tight. The vestibule, however, provides plenty of cover for my pack and boots. The tent itself is super quick to set up and tear down without any complicated steps. I would recommend this tent for any seasoned trip, short or long.

I think I paid retail for this tent so ~$134ish. Money so well spent. There's just nothing to be mad about with this tent, and I've had tents that cost 4x as much that left a lesser impression of quality. No condensation problems, great venting. Kept me dry in absolutely torrential rain on numerous occasions. Super easy and quick to pitch. Comes with a footprint! This is one item that has truly never let me down. I am usually cynical and hyper critical of gear if it makes me mad in any way and I am actually sentimental about this cheap simple tent. This thing punches way above its weight class.

This is a great one person tent for backpacking. I've taken it out several times and setup is quick and easy. So far, it seems pretty durable as well. I'm 5'9" and can also manage to put my pack in at the base of the tent although it is a little cramped. I'm a side sleeper though so I don't normally stretch all the way out. There is a convenient and good sized side pocket near the head of the tent for easy access to items. I did replace the supplied stakes with lighter Y tent stakes to shave off some weight. There are lighter tents out there but from a value/weight ratio, this tent is an excellent deal.

I got this tent to use for trips where I didn’t need to bring my heavier 2 person tent but was a little nervous about the size. In the past, every 1 person tent I’ve had was too small and hard to do anything in but I was pleasantly surprised by this tent. I’m 5’6 and a wider person. I use a 30 inch wide sleep pad that fit perfectly with room to stick my pack at the end. I had plenty of room to change, sit without my head hitting the top, and packing up while inside was easy. Not to mention, it was a breeze to put up and take down. I did end up swapping the provided steaks out with lighter ones though.

Great one man tent with plenty of room and smart, quality features you expect from REI. Certainly not the smallest or lightest of one mans but for short/medium duration trips this tent is great. I especially liked that it came with the foot print and that the footprint is integrated to the tent so set up/takedown is easy. My shelter is up in half the time as my trail mates who all have more technically minded gear. I'm just shy of 5'10 and there is tons of room on the inside for me, pack, gear etc without even having to use the vestibule. At the price I'm very happy with it.

So far love the tent for the price it's a a dynamite deal it is a little heavy but no big deal 4 pounds I have a lightweight re I Flash air 1 about 250 can't use it when it's cold if you can see your breath the tent gets wetter than a sauna bath inside at night it is a single wall tent it's useless at below 45 degrees. I took the passage up to the Shenandoah a couple months ago it rained about an inch and a half ice not a leak very little condensation inside the tent what was in the lightweight tent I would have been soaked literally soaked. I'm 5 foot 4 in tall so needless to say the tent is huge for me my pack fits at my feet.

Excellent backpacking tent! I have always previously used a 2-man tent when backpacking to allow space for myself and gear, especially during bad weather. I swear that I have looked at a previous, similar model, that just wasn't large enough. This tent has ample width for my shoulders and is longer (I am 6'1", 215 lbs.). I took it on a 10-miler two weeks ago and it performed well in cold conditions! I was comfortable inside and used the vestibule to stow most of my gear (except "smellables") and was very pleased with the space inside and quick setup! The footprint is a bonus and I always use one to protect the floor. I am very pleased with my purchase, and I used an REI 20% off coupon!
