Compact and stable tunnel tent for solo trekkers who like to travel with a smaller backpack. One main pole and strong corner poles in aluminium give generous head height and space over the feet. A comfortable, reliable and lightweight trekking companion when you want to travel alone. The flysheet is made from Fjällräven’s new high-performance nylon and an innovative construction that combines two different fabric weights giving excellent strength despite low weight. The vestibule is spacious for a one-man tent and there is plenty of room for gear.
The flysheet and inner tent are connected, making handling easy and protecting the inner tent from rain while pitching. It is also possible to use double tent poles (an accessory) when using the tent in exposed conditions. Ventilation is excellent with three openings, positioned both high and low, which can be completely closed if needed. For really good airflow in warm conditions, the flysheet door can be rolled up to half way and fastened in place with an auto-lock that won’t let the zipper “creep” in strong winds. All openings, including the inner tent door, are covered in a fine mesh that keeps out even the smallest, barely visible insects. Clothesline plus mesh pockets in the inner tent make it easy to dry gear and keep organised. Just like all of Fjällräven’s tents, Abisko Lite 1 is made entirely without PVC plastic and toxic flame retardants, and its impregnation is fluorocarbon free.

I was a little worried that it would be a bit small with a one man tent. But I can fit perfectly with my 185 cm and 90 kg.
The fact that the ventilation can be regulated from the inside is a big plus. Strangely enough, not all competitors have that function. Even though I recommend to pretty much always have the ventilation fully open to minimize condensation, it is convenient to have that option.
Fine materials and very good small function. I am very satisfied.

Now that there is user experience from seven nights in the tent, this can already be evaluated. The interior is quite adequate for one person, you have to "take a moment" to organize the things carried to the fell for e.g. cooking. I am not tall enough to sit with my back straight if there is an air-filled platform underneath, I am approx. 177cm tall. The length of the sleeping space is very sufficient, you could store e.g. change of clothes.
Good, reliable Fjällräve quality. There was no need to worry about whether the tent could withstand the thunderstorm with its wind and rain that passed over the fells. Footprint is a good accessory.
