The Moto Solo Tent features a spacious 27-square foot interior with 37 inches of sit-up height in a package that weighs less than 3 pounds. The Moto expands on its basic bivy structure with a large entry and a front vestibule for gear storage. Unlike many low-weight bivy shelters, the Moto offers front-to-back ventilation with a mesh-vented swallowtail pattern at the foot and mesh at the front. In inclement weather, the ExoFly seals the entry and vestibule from the wind and rain while the swallowtail continues to ventilate the tent. But the most unique aspect of the Moto is AirSupported Technology which replaces traditional tent poles with an inflatable AirBeam that supports the tent's structure. This AirBeam both cuts down on packed size and weight, allowing the Moto to be contained in small packs and panniers, and provides greater stability and buoyancy in wind. Using the included Integrated Pump, inflation takes about 30 seconds. The Moto comes complete with a watertight stuff sack, stakes, an extra bladder, and a repair kit.
Swallowtail patterning at the foot end with mesh vents allows you to tension the shelter above your sleeping bag to maximize interior ventilation.

About AirSupported Technology from NEMO:
AirSupported Technology (AST) is NEMO'S unique interpretation of inflatable structure for application in lightweight backcountry shelters. The advantages of NEMO's AST compared to traditional tent poles include faster and easier setup, greater strength and wind resistance, smaller packing, the ability to bend without breaking, and easy repair in the field.
When properly inflated, NEMO'S AirBeams can be considerably stronger than traditional aluminum tent poles. In one test, the larger Morpho AirBeam withstood more than twice the downward force compared to a standard tent pole. One of the other advantages of AirBeams is that even if you bend them all the way to the ground, they simply spring back into shape. Optimal air pressure for a NEMO AirBeam is between 7 and 9 psi. NEMO pumps are designed to deliver exactly the right amount of pressure to the AirBeam.
NEMO AST is capable of withstanding a wide range of conditions as well as dramatic changes in temperature. At its recommended inflation pressure of 7 psi, a swing from freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit) all the way to the most searing heat (120 degrees Fahrenheit) only increases the AirBeam pressure to 8.2 psi--not even close to the 20 psi minimum burst pressure of the AirBeams. Starting in intense heat (120 degrees Fahrenheit) and dropping to freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit) results in a pressure of 5.9 psi--still enough pressure to maintain the tent structure. The tents have been tested to withstand winds
