Mono Hiking Tent

G'day Curtis,

The Mono Hiking Tent doesn't come with a groundsheet but you can purchase one separately here. Yes, the tent is suitable for most Australian conditions except snow, there is a fair bit of internal mesh so it has great ventilation, but might be a little chilly in winter conditions.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for bringing this up. I've had a look over things, Zempires initial information indicated a height of 150 cm, when in actual fact it is 105 cm.

Sorry for the confusion here, we are updating our details as I type.

G'day Nermin,

The Mono Hiking Tent has a mesh inner so it will generally be a little cooler than some tents when used in Winter. Most tents with a mesh inner will be fine in '3 seasons', which essentially means anything but snow conditions. As long as you use a well insulated mat and sleeping bag this won't be a problem.

G'day Nermin,

If you're planning to hike in snow conditions then the Marmot Fortress 2P Hiking Tent will best your best option. These have a solid inner so will be a little warmer during winter and are suitable for snow conditions. If you're after something for autumn/winter without snow then the Mono will suit. There are a few other hiking tents with a little more solid fabric than mesh internally that can help keep you a little warmer. A good option would be the Companion Pro Hiker 2.

G'day Lee,

The Zempire Mono Hiking Tent is a pretty robust and waterproof tent. The Fly has a 5000mm Waterhead rating and the floor has a 10000mm Waterhead rating, which as far as these ratings go that's pretty high. You can read more about those ratings here. I would be fairly confident that you'll stay dry in the Mono, and I would certainly recommend purchasing the footprint too so you have some extra protection from the wild ground on the trail.

G'day Sabrina,

Yes the Zempire Mono Hiking Tent has a 3-year warranty.

G'day Simon,

Sorry for the confusion with this one. The Zempire Mono Hiking Tent connects to its pole with a pole sleeve. 

G'day Katherine,

The Zempire Mono Hiking Tent isn't a freestanding tent, no. You'd need to peg it out before doing the poles and it can't be moved once it's been setup. 

G'day Roger, 

If you've got a nice sleeping bag, then the Zempire Mono Hiking Tent should be fine for a Melbourne winter. If you start getting a bit of snow, then you might be in strife but other than that, you'll have a ball.

They are very similar tents, Erik. In fact, apart from the fact that the Atom offers more headroom, weighs a smidge more, and comes at a higher price, they are pretty much identical.

If your budget can extend a little further, and the extra few grams is not a concern, then get the Zempire Atom.

G'day Russell,

Good news! The Zempire Mono Hiking Tent comes already seam sealed. 

G'day Richard,

The Zempire Mono Hiking Tent has a rather generous 150cm head clearance and as a 6-foot chap, I can sit up in it quite comfortably, so you should have no issues either. 

This would be more than suitable Belinda. 

It does have a full mesh interior making it less suitable for camping in the midst of winter, but the mesh makes it a very comfortable tent for mild to warm conditions, which for October/November on the Overland Track you can expect.

Check out the Atom also, it's only slightly heavier and features a cross pole that creates much more head space. Both tents offer the same levels of quality and performance.

Enjoy your walk.

G'day Darren,

The hiking range of tents only comes in this bright yellow colour sorry (generally for safety reasons).

If you'd like other similar options that are in a green colour, perhaps take a look at the Black Wolf Mantis UL and the Wilderness Equipment Space 1 tent 

G'day Christian,

The Zempire Mono tent would be a brilliant 1 person option for the Overland Track in January. It's a compact, waterproof and affordable tent with a high level of quality.

Hi Aneeta,

Vestibule space is just the outside space that's covered by the fly on the outside of the tent door.  This is generally where you would store your pack but if it's really nasty weather, rain could affect your pack as there is no floor in this area and the fly does not reach the ground.  If you're hiking in areas with changeable weather, perhaps consider the Zeus as it has a little extra room but at an additional weight.
