The Black Diamond FirstLight 3 Person Tent is a compact and lightweight tent designed specifically for weight-conscious climbers. It is a four-season tent, meaning it is suitable for use in a variety of weather conditions throughout the year. The FirstLight incorporates the expedition-specific design of the Black Diamond I-Tent, featuring steep walls and a simple floor shape that maximize living space and headroom.
Durability is a key feature of the FirstLight. All seams are double sewn for added strength, and stress points are reinforced to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The tent comes with two equal-length DAC Featherlite poles, which are known for their lightweight yet strong construction. These poles fit inside the tent and can be secured with hook-and-loop wraps, making the setup process easy, even from inside the tent.
The FirstLight is designed for excellent ventilation. It features a small rear window and a door, both of which are covered with no-see-um mesh to keep out insects while allowing for cross ventilation. This helps to maintain a comfortable and breathable interior environment. Additionally, the canopy of the tent is constructed with water-resistant and breathable NanoShield fabric, providing protection from the elements.
Interior organization is made convenient with three interior mesh pockets, allowing for easy storage of small items such as headlamps, phones, or other essentials. The tent has a single door entry, and there is an optional vestibule available for additional gear storage.
To enhance stability, the FirstLight comes with stronger reflective guylines. These guylines feature a polyester sheath with a DynexTM core, minimizing stretch and ensuring reliable tension. Sil-Net seam sealer is required to maintain waterproofness and further reinforce the tent’s durability.
The FirstLight tent includes a repair tube for tent poles, allowing for on-the-go repairs in case of any damage. Additionally, an optional ground cloth is available for added protection and insulation from the ground.
Overall, the Black Diamond FirstLight 3 Person Tent offers a lightweight and durable shelter solution for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts. Its design prioritizes space optimization, ventilation, and organization, making it a reliable option for extended trips and challenging weather conditions.
