help Tarptent Moment DW FAQ
What does the DW stand for in Tarptent Moment DW?
DW stands for double wall — the Moment DW pairs a mesh inner tent with a separate rainfly. That's a departure from Tarptent's original fame for single-wall silicone-nylon shelters.
How much does the Tarptent Moment DW weigh?
It lands in the high-two-pound range depending on configuration, making it a mid-weight solo option — lighter than most freestanding solo tents but heavier than flat tarp setups. Tarptent lists exact weights by option on its site.
Is the Tarptent Moment DW freestanding?
Not fully — it uses a hoop-style pole structure but performs best when staked out, and the vestibules need guyline tension. Ultralighters should be comfortable pitching a non-freestanding shelter before buying.
Who makes the Tarptent Moment DW?
It's made by Tarptent, the small US company founded by Henry Shires that pioneered affordable silicone-nylon ultralight shelters. The company sells direct and is a staple of the thru-hiking community.
