Monts Backcountry ski specialist,Chris Smart, asks himself; What if I could only own one tent?
Despite the privilege of being able to field test the full Mont range of amazing tents, I keep using this tent-year round.

If you’re really torn between the mesh vs full nylon inner…. you can buy both! This is cheaper and less resources than 2 separate tents, as they then share the fly and footprint. Gives great flexibility for varied conditions. I have this for the Moondance 2 and it’s been working a treat. FN for Tassie winters and mesh for buggy warm summer trips.

Still tossing up between the Moondance 1 and the 1FN. For bikepacking size and weight are important, and the differences are negligible. I don’t want to over-consume and buy multiple tents. Do you really need full nylon if remaining below the tree line even in sub-zero temperatures? Any difference in condensation between the two models?

I used MONT Moondance 1FN for my solo AAWT in 2022. Quick to setup & packup. It was faultless, spacious & I felt secure in bad weather. It was my home for 42 days straight & has been on numerous adventures since & still looks perfect.

Yes agree Chris. The FN1 moondance just seems to keep coming along! Tassie, Snowy Mtns and Outback. In the backpack or on the adventure bike. A good compromise of low weight, sufficient room and weather tightness.

I’ve used this tent for two – me and my son – with exped mummy style mats arranged top and tail. Worked a treat.

After the western light had faded I got my camera out and planned on doing a little astro photography. Pleasantly, my first image showed a cheery red and green glow to the south. The Southern Lights were active!

This past month, Canberra’s trail running community came together at the Frith Road Substation in O’Connor for an action-packed night of testing, learning, and connecting. The Mont Trail Running Shoe Demo gave runners of all levels the chance to put the latest footwear from La Sportiva, On Running, Altra, and Hoka through their paces on a dedicated 1.2km trail loop that quickly became a Strava segment.

At Mont, we believe in supporting events that encourage people to embrace the natural world, challenge themselves, and connect with like-minded adventurers. Mont has been the sole sponsor of Kowen over the 6 years since its humble beginnings, providing flags, bollards, marquees and infrastructure, a market stall to provide the best trail gear, nutrition and mandatory kit. And donating incredible prizes, including Julbo’s newest, top of the line ultra-light glasses – Ultimate Cover Reactive 0-4. The lucky recipient being one of first in the country to own a pair.
