TARPTENT Rainbow - is a solo version of Tarptent's most popular shelter, the Double Rainbow. This solo shelter includes the same features as double and has more usable space in comparison with any solo shelter on the market, therefore is ideal for people who want a light tent with a large living space. The Rainbow is easy to set up, can be converted to freestanding with trekking poles, and can fit two standard width sleeping pads.

Tarptent recommends this tent also for taller hikers, with enough interior length to comfortably accommodate users up to 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in) tall.

Please note that the Rainbow requires at least 115 cm / 45 in trekking poles to become free-standing. Best with 122 cm / 48 in poles. Trekking poles are only required for free standing, not required for general use. Trekking pole tip extenders can extend your trekking poles.
