Our verdict
A fit for one hiker, biker or kayaker who wants a suspended tent with a small pack size and a stated 1.7kg / 3.7lbs trail weight, at $359. Look elsewhere if you want a second sleeper, more headroom (the head height is 1.7ft / 0.5m) or a lower price: the UNA (3.0) lists $329 with the same capacity. The main caveat is that the page's weight figures use different labels and do not clearly line up.
- Best for
- A solo hiker, biker or kayaker who has three suitable trees and cares about packed size and weight.
- Skip if
- You need room for two people or want to pay less, since the UNA (3.0) lists $329 for the same 265lbs / 120kg capacity.
Why 3.7/5: Lifted by a full spec sheet listing weight, size, fabrics and hardware; held back by the absence of an independent test of this exact model and by the trees and set-up practice it needs.
Hikers, bikers and kayakers are the audience for the UNA Air 1-Person Hammock Tent, Tentsile's ultralight solo model at $359. Its spec sheet gives a trail weight of 1.7kg / 3.7lbs, a packed size of 30 x 12 x 14cm / 12 x 5 x 5.5in, a 265lbs / 120kg capacity and a 4-Season rating. The rainfly is 20D polyester, PU coated (5,000HH), while the floor and insect mesh are both Organza 32g/sqm.

The spec sheet lists 2 x 25mm looped straps, 1 x 1.2-ton ratchet and strap, 1 x WebLock, 2 x 8.5mm anodized aluminium poles and 1 door.

The UNA 1-Person Hammock Tent (3.0) lists $329 and matches this model on capacity (265lbs / 120kg), season label (4-Season) and floor (24sqft / 2.2sqm), but uses a Unit Weight label of 5.1lbs / 2.33kg where this $359 page has a Trail Weight of 1.7kg / 3.7lbs.

Shipping, returns and warranty
Shipping is free on orders over $199 sent from the US (lower 48) and EU countries; for Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand the page says its rates are kept as low as it can and gives a rough guide of $10 for most accessories and $20 for heavier items inside the US mainland. Average delivery is 3 to 5 working days in the US and EU and 7 to 10 days for the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. PO Box addresses are refused. The page says no extra taxes or duties apply to purchases from the US, EU, Canada, Australia or the UK, optional cover from Route can be added at checkout, and free shipping covers the first delivery attempt only; stack and accessory parts can come from different warehouses and arrive in separate packages. Returns: unused, unopened products in their original packaging can go back within 30 days of receipt, and opened or tested products can too, with a restocking fee the page gives as $20 for an unopened box and $50 for a used product (another line on the same page says $30 for all non-warranty returns). You pay return shipping on opened products unless they are defective or were sent wrongly, pre-loved and clearance sales are final, Canadian returns go to a US return centre with duties paid, and EU returns that are not warranty cases go to the UK. Warranty: products bought on tentsile.com after January 2025 carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects when used as the manuals say; straps and ratchets are covered for 5 years and a rainfly is meant to be replaced about every 3 years. The exclusions include poles and pegs, wear and tear, UV degradation (fabric rated for 1,500 hours for black mesh, 2,500 hours for green fabric and 3,500 hours for Safari fabric), snow load over 1 inch, high winds and products bought from third parties. Orders from $35 to $2,000 can be split into four payments with Zip, ClearPay, PayPal or Afterpay.
Before you buy
Tentsile's page header says "Rated 4.5/5" with "1100+ reviews" and "120,000+ Happy Customers"; these are the store's own figures and were not checked. Independent coverage we could open is thin: a hands-on review of the Connect by TechGadgetsCanada (March 2024, about 8 set-ups and 4 to 5 nights) found a steep learning curve, workable trees at only about half of its stops and one cold night, and a Wilderness Times write-up of the Stingray summarises specs and owner feedback without showing any hands-on testing. Tentsile's own pages set limits that matter, for example a recommended set-up height of 1.2m / 4ft on its Trilogy page, a 1 inch snow-load limit in its warranty terms and an FAQ warning that tension loads can reach 15kN, so only healthy trees should be used. The store also warns about copycat sites, and its returns and warranty terms apply to purchases made on tentsile.com.
What we liked
- Spec sheet lists a 1.7kg / 3.7lbs trail weight and a small 30 x 12 x 14cm / 12 x 5 x 5.5in packed size
- The page describes a Foot Box meant to give tall campers' feet room, on a 5.2 x 9.5 x 9.5ft / 1.6 x 2.9 x 2.9m floor
- The rainfly is 20D polyester, PU coated (5,000HH); floor and insect mesh are both Organza 32g/sqm
- Hardware is spelled out: 2 x 25mm looped straps, 1 x 1.2-ton ratchet and strap, 1 x WebLock and 2 x 8.5mm anodized aluminium poles
- The spec sheet pairs a 265lbs / 120kg capacity with a 4-Season rating and gives a 30sqft / 3sqm porch area
Worth noting
- At $359 it lists above the UNA (3.0) at $329 with the same one-adult 265lbs / 120kg capacity and 24sqft / 2.2sqm floor
- One sleeper only, with a head height of 1.7ft / 0.5m and a single door
- It hangs from three trees; the page's FAQ wants them healthy and at less than 90 degree angles to one another
- Floor and insect mesh are both Organza 32g/sqm, and the page gives no durability or abrasion figure for the floor
Questions before you buy
How light is the UNA Air?

It excludes poles and pegs, wear and tear, UV degradation, snow load over 1 inch and products bought from third parties. A rainfly should be replaced about every 3 years.

What we couldn’t verify
- The spec sheet gives a Trail Weight of 1.7kg / 3.7lbs, the key features claim a body of 530g/1.1lbs, and the UNA (3.0) sibling uses a Unit Weight label; the page defines none of these terms.
- Three set-up times appear: 10-15 minute after first assembly in the key features, 15 Minutes in a banner, and 10 - 20 minutes in the FAQ.
- The page makes world-first style claims for pack size, weight and ventilation but gives no comparison data.
- Independent testing of this exact product: none found; the outside coverage located covers the Connect (hands-on, 2024) and the Stingray (specs summary).
- "Rated 4.5/5, 1100+ reviews" and "120,000+ Happy Customers" are the store's own page-header claims, not checked.
- The returns page gives a $50 restocking fee for used products and a $30 fee for non-warranty returns in different places.
- The spec numbers come from the spec sheet image on the product page, read by hand on 20 October 2026.
