For sale, one TarpTent Moment.  In excellent condition - no damage of any kind.  Used approximately 10 nights.  This is the last generation Moment (singlewall, single piece), which, in my opinion, is a much better bikepacking tent than the current generation.  It's lighter than Henry's latest design.  I've moved towards using a bivy for even smaller packed size, though, so this tent is no longer needed!

In case you're not familiar with the Moment: This tent is awesome for lightweight trips of any kind.  Trail weight is only 28oz, and it uses one pole and two stakes to set up.  Quick set up time, a solid design, and full-on bugproof!  A very roomy one-person tent, it's easy to stash all your gear inside while sleeping.  It's so roomy that my wife and I tried it out on a single overnighter - workable, but not quite enough space for two tall people to get comfy.  Two shorter folks, or an adult and child/dog/huge backpack, would be fine.  Packed size is 18"x4" - easy to put in most handlebar bags with room to spare for rain gear, clothes, etc.

Benefits over buying a new Moment:

1) Lighter (by almost a half-pound)
2) A new one needs complete seam-sealing (not a short or fun process!).  This one is completely seam-sealed and ready to rumble.
3) Quite honestly the stock Tarptent stakes suck.  I got some nice MSR ones, which make this tent bomber, and they are included.
4) This one is basically in new condition, which makes #5 awesome
5) Cheaper than new - a new Moment is $269 plus shipping.  This one is $200 shipped (lower 48)!

Stoked?  Send me a PM.  I can run any credit card but AmEx through Velorution's system over the phone.  Finally, a photo with the tent (from the aforementioned single overnighter):

Bump.  May have been stupid to post this as the season was winding down... seems as if people are beginning to think of the new season!
