Grand Canyon Richmond 1
 |
 |
In the Grand Canyon brand lineup, the single-person trekking tent is positioned as the lightest one (weighing 1.7 kg). It features compact dimensions when packed (28x13x13 cm, which translates to a volume of less than 5 liters) and does not require much free space to set up for an overnight stay in nature (floor dimensions are 270x180 cm). The model is recommended for hiking and trekking.
The Grand Canyon Richmond 1 tent boasts good wind resistance, which is attributed not only to the reliable frame made of two 8 mm fiberglass poles but also to the small maximum height of the assembled structure (no more than 75 cm). The sleeping area dimensions are 250x90 cm, with the widest part at the shoulders and a tapering to 60 cm at the feet. A small vestibule 45 cm in length is provided for storing a backpack and outerwear.
The inner layer of the model is made of breathable mesh, which, among other things, provides good ventilation and allows use without an outer flysheet in warm weather — to enjoy the starlit sky. The outer material is polyester, enhanced with a polyurethane coating that offers decent water resistance rated at 3000 mm water column (the water protection of the polyethylene floor is slightly higher at 4000 mm). Other features include reflective guy lines, ventilation elements, and a standard mosquito net.

Affordable and Compact
Among the one-person tents, the model from Grand Canyon stands out for its affordable price, making it an attractive choice for budget-conscious travelers. In the Richmond 1 lineup, it is the lightest, although the weight of 1.7 kg is not an ideal indicator for solo hikes. However, an important advantage for hikers is its compactness when folded — only 28x13x13 cm, which means a volume of less than 5 liters in a backpack.
Comfortable Overnight Stay
The tent offers a sleeping area with maximum floor dimensions of 250x90 cm. The shoulder space reaches 90 cm and narrows to 60 cm at the feet, ensuring an acceptable level of comfort. There is also a vestibule about 45 cm long, where you can place a backpack, wet clothes, and shoes.
Drawbacks include the absence of internal pockets. However, it features a mosquito net, ventilation holes, and reflective guy lines visible in the dark.
High Wind Resistance
The tent frame consists of two parallel fiberglass poles with a diameter of 8 mm. Additional wind resistance is provided by reflective guy lines and the low height of the structure (75 cm). Meanwhile, the ceiling height in the sleeping area is 70 cm, which makes it impossible to sit comfortably upright.
The outer tent is made of polyester, and the groundsheet is made of polyethylene. Both materials have sealed seams and a polyurethane coating. This ensures waterproofing at a level of 3000 mm and 4000 mm water column, respectively, sufficient for protection against moderate rain.
Grand Canyon Richmond 1 is a worthy option for an affordable one-person tent, suitable for beginner hikers.
