It pitches easily and quickly using clip-on hooks to the main alloy hoop pole that is preangled to maximise useable space and comfort. Four attached short corner poles add height at head and feet. An insect-proof mesh door and vents that can be adjusted from inside all enhance ventilation.
Our Verdict
The Robens Starlight 1 is a compact, three-season tent for solo adventurers. Weighing just 1879g (excluding pegs and bags), it's an excellent choice for weight-conscious trekkers and cyclists.
This tent features a clever design with a central alloy hoop pole and four short corner poles, maximising interior space while maintaining a low profile. The twin-wedge structure offers robust stability in various conditions.
Thanks to clip-on hooks and colour-coded poles, setup is quick and easy. The tent boasts impressive ventilation, with an insect-proof mesh door and adjustable vents that are manageable from the inside.
With a 5000mm hydrostatic head flysheet and taped seams, the Starlight 1 provides reliable protection from the elements. The 75D polyester floor offers durability and a 10,000mm water column.
While it may feel snug for larger campers or those with lots of gear, the Starlight 1 excels as a lightweight, efficient shelter for solo trips. Its relatively low weight, easy setup, and solid weather protection make it a valuable companion for minimalist outdoor enthusiasts.
