Description:
Hello and welcome to my channel! In today's video I review the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p, a light and compact single wall tent made in Ukraine. It's a 1-person tent, but it can accommodate two people, although it gets a little cramped. For me and my dog, however, it's perfect! I have made this review through a collaboration with Packraft Sweden.
First impressions of the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
When I first received the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p from Packraft Sweden, I was impressed by how light and compact it was. This 1-person tent is made of silpoly, which is silicone-treated polyester. Silpoly has several advantages over silnylon, including better UV resistance and less water absorption.
Specifications for Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
Weight: Only 680 grams, but then without hiking pole and ground pegs included. Which makes it extremely easy to carry around. It also takes up very little space when packed.
Material: Silpoly, which is both durable and water-repellent.
Size: Perfect for one person with gear, or two people with minimal space. Or as for me and the doggy + hiking equipment.
Setup of Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
Setting up the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p was more complicated than I thought. But I'm learning and getting better every time.
I guide you through the entire pitch in the video. There are several different ways to raise it, I will later release a video on how I go about getting the best possible pitch. But I have to test more myself first.
Comfort and space in the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
The Liteway Illusion Solo 1p offers enough space for one person and my dog ​​to sleep comfortably. If two people use the tent it will be cramped, but it is definitely possible for shorter trips. For me and my dog, however, it is an ideal solution. But it should be mentioned that the manufacturer Liteway does not recommend the tent for people taller than 185 cm.
Weather resistance of Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
I've tested the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p in a variety of weather conditions, including light drizzle and light wind, and it stayed dry and stable. The Silpoly material is more UV-resistant and absorbs less water than Silnylon, which gives the tent better durability in long-term moisture.
Ventilation in Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
Ventilation is important to avoid condensation, and the tent has two higher vents + a mesh net along the entire floor that ensures good air circulation. This has worked surprisingly well. I got very little condensation and only one of the 7-8 nights I tried the tent. But will report back with more videos on how the tent performs after I test it more. The closest thing to mountain hiking will now be a week in Sarek on an alpine climbing tour in August.
Packing and transport of Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
The tent is easily packed into its included bag and takes up minimal space in the backpack. Weighing just 680 grams, it's one of the lightest 1-person tents on the market, making it ideal for long-distance hikes and other adventures.
Pros and cons of the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
Advantages:
Lightweight and compact
Water-repellent and durable material
Large inside despite low headroom. There is room for lots of equipment in the inner tent.
Good ventilation
Disadvantages:
Tight for two people. Low ceiling height, if you want good headspace, you should probably look for another tent. It is not recommended for people taller than 185 cm.
Very small apse, it must be difficult to cook there.
The single-wall construction can lead to condensation under certain conditions.
It's hard to pitch, but if you learn it, you'll probably have a really awesome tent.
I have found an easy and good way to adjust the spaces between the inner tent and the apse against each other. So I can now choose whether I want a large apse or a large inner tent by angling the trekking pole.
Conclusions on Liteway Illusion Solo 1p
After testing the Liteway Illusion Solo 1p in various situations, I am very satisfied with its performance. This 1-person tent is a great choice for solo adventurers, especially if you have a four-legged friend with you. Despite some minor cons, the pros clearly outweigh it, and I highly recommend it.
