Lunar Solo
Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Lunar Solo is a single-wall trekking pole shelter that pitches with one pole and two stakes for a remarkably fast setup. The silnylon construction keeps weight under 750g, and the bathtub floor plus integrated bug netting provide full protection without the bulk of a double-wall tent.
Who Is the Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo Best For?
Budget-conscious ultralight bikepackers who carry a trekking pole or don't mind adding a pole. If that describes your riding style, the Lunar Solo should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Shelters & Tents category alongside 11other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 740g and $215, the Lunar Solo is 590g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Borah Gear Cuben Fiber Tarp at 150g). The most budget-friendly option is the Borah Gear Cuben Fiber Tarp at $200.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $29 per 100g — a reasonable middle ground between performance and value.
What We Like
- +Excellent weight-to-space ratio
- +Simple trekking pole setup pitches in under two minutes
- +Very affordable for an ultralight shelter
- +Generous interior height and floor space
Watch Out For

The Bottom Line
The Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo earns a 4.3/5 rating. It's a solid performer that does most things well. Excellent weight-to-space ratio is the standout feature, though requires a trekking pole or dedicated pole (not included) is worth considering before you buy.
