2-Person 1.0 Trekking Pole Tent

I spent days trying to find an affordable, lightweight tent for backpacking. Unless you shell out $300+ you're not going to find anything. That is, unless you're fortunate enough to stumble onto this little bad boy. This thing is high value. As the picture shows, it'll comfortably fit two. I actually did two trips with myself and two kids (that's three). We had to lay sideways, but it wasn't too bad. The design is simply outstanding: great stitching, quality material, well thought-out zippers. The pegs are a nice, lightweight aluminum. It takes 5 or 6 minutes to setup and is lightweight enough to take backpacking. We did a 10-miler with this very comfortably. What's the catch? There really isn't one. Basically, it just doesn't have a frame. It uses a long paracord-type string that you can either (1) connect to two trees either side of the tent with a truckers hitch knot (kind of like setting up a hammock), or (2) you just place your hiking poles or a sturdy stick you find laying on the ground on either entrance to the tent. When you stabilize the sticks by pegging down your guide rope, this thing is as sturdy as any $300-500 REI special. Because it's so simple, there's less that can break. I'm thinking of switching out all my tents for two or three of these. If you're backpacking or just tent camping at a campsite, this will serve you very very well.

I was so impressed by this tent I decided to leave a product review for the first time in my 10+ years of buying off amazon.My wife and I backpacked up a mountain and this tent held up through a wind storm at over 9000 feet in an open meadow. On top of that it's extremely light weight and the fact that it uses trekking poles allows us to spare even more weight and room in the packs.It was a quick and easy setup and breakdown. It rolls right up and fits back in the bag without any struggle.The inside was spacious enough for my wife and I, plus all our stuff, to fit comfortably.I really can't believe how great this thing is for being the literal cheapest 2 person tent on the market.There are only 2 cons I found:1) It was very loud. We had to prop our shoes up on the door flies to keep them from rustling around all night. However, it should be considered that we were in some pretty extreme winds in an open area.2) Lots of condensation build up in the morning. Not a huge deal and to be expected with any single wall tent when the temps outside drop. We turned it inside out and laid it in the sun to dry when we got home. By no means a deal-breaker but just something to consider if you're camping in the cold.Overall the cons are nothing compared to the pros, I remain VERY impressed with this tent.

Tent in the bag weighs 3.2 lbs including the stakes. This is a very simple tent to set up if you know a bowline knot and how to use a guy-line tensioner. This is a true two person tent. Lots of space but still lightweight Love that it has zipper doors and screens on both ends. This tent appears to be very well built as well. The one con I found was there are no guy-out anchors on either of the sidewalls. This will result in flapping in windy conditions. I seam sealed mine for added protection. But, all things considered, this is a great trekking pole tent. Lightweight, simple to set up and value for the price.

This tent seems to be a great value! I needed a tent for a recent backpacking trip, and this could be delivered the next day for less than a quarter of the price of other tents. I wasn’t expecting much, but this tent performed great! It was easy to setup, it shed the light rain that happened, and it kept the mosquitoes out! It was light weight which was good for backpacking. It did require two trekking poles for the main supports, but they were part of my pack already! My only initial concern was the smell of the tent when I first received it. It smelled like fish to me. But after a few hours set up, the smell was gone. All in all, a good tent!

Tent assembles nicely, it's lightweight (but not as much as I thought it would). The big problem is that it's not waterproof.I went camping to a beach campground and the morning mist, which was not that much, got inside the tent. This tent WILL NOT work with light rain. I'm returning this item because even thought it was super comfy for me (one person), and I believe it would be able to hold two relatively small people like myself (I'm 5.4") it does not serve the purpose I was looking for.Also, it was hot during the day, and inside the tent was SO difficult to breathe even though I had both sides opened and just the net closed to avoid getting too many bugs inside.

Light weight very roomy I like it worked well on my last backpacking trip great tent for the money

Seems like a well made tent. Lots of fabric and stitching in the stress points. Seams are already taped to prevent leaks. Size is on point with the pictures. Will definitely keep and recommend to friends for affordable backpacking. I did modify it by adding extra tie out points on the sides to make it roomier. You will need a ground tarp as the bottom is made of the same fabric as the sides.

Not a bad tent at all. This is my first single wall and trekking pole tent, and I'm pretty happy so far.The first test was of course waterproofing. I set the tent up in my backyard and put it under the sprinkler for 30min. No leakage anywhere in the tent. I was really surprised by this as I figured I'd at least have some leakage in a cheaper tent. So at least for now, they taped the seams well and it held up in the rain.Knowing I'm not going to wake up drenched, I took it to the trail. We camped at just over 6000', had sustained 20mph winds, with gusts around 30mph, and light rain. Tent held up great. The only issue we had was condensation. there's no side mesh in this tent, so the flow only airflow is between the ends. We probably could have set it up to catch a little more airflow, but when it was 28* and high winds we were cold enough. The condensation at freezing temps led to frost in the tent. Other than to stop breathing, I don't think there was much to do about that.So why 4 stars? Because the tent seems to always sag in the middle. No matter how high I propped the poles up or how tight we made the corners, the middle section always fell in some. With 2 people in the tent (I'm 6', my son is about 55"), this meant that the tent wall often was touching our sleeping bags even though we weren't against the walls at the bottom. With the condensation, that meant damp sleeping bags (we were able to wipe it all off with a camp towel though). So I just wish it had a loop on either side, part way up to be able to pull the tent out some on the sides. Other than that, I hope this tent lasts us for many more trips to come.

I chose this to hike Mt Robson in Northern BC in May. Super lightweight, packs nicely and is super easy to put up! A good tent footprint and you'll be nice and toasty

A light tent which needs walking sticks to be pitched. Will be very nice for fair weather with a wire mesh on both sides. May not be good for winters and snow. Took it out for some camping in rain. The cloth got wet and sagged a bit due to increase in weight. Anything touching the walls of the tent got wet. Space is enough for two people if you’re not using a thick mattress. Otherwise it is a bit congested with barely any space for luggage.All in all a good tent for fair weather hiking trips.

Worked well for me in the dry climate of Arizona in November. It is supposed to be a 2-person, but it will only really fit one.

Bon produit

My wife and I took it hiking on a coastal trail. It rained throughout the night and all night the "composite waterproof tape" leaked drastically, soaking everything. The light hook acted as a perfect drain to leak directly on to our faces. We tried for hours to ensure all was tight, set up nicely, under a tree but still could not escape the rain which was not a downpour but a constant drizzle all night.One of the worst nights I have had camping in YEARS. I would give it 1 star but I bumped it up to 2 stars only because it was quick and simple to setup. Save your money, invest in something that is a bit more expensive and will keep you protected from the elements.
