NaturehikeCloud-Up 2 Person Tent Lightweight Backpacking Tent with Footprint - Free Standing Ultralight Camping Hiking Backpack Tents Two Person Tent

I picked this tent up recently for a 2 night backpacking trip. Such a great value for $.Previously I’ve used much cheaper Walmart tents.This felt like great quality. I really like the ease of set up and the clips are really unique and easy to use. It packed compactly and was lightweight to carry. The pegs are nice but one did bend when trying to get it into tough ground.I used the ground cloth which I felt kept me warmer, but you could leave this behind if you wanted to lighten the tent.This was very roomy for one person, and I stayed dry in the rain. I would put a second person in a pinch, and would take child along in this. The single entrance really makes it more of a one person tent.I enjoyed the versatility of being able to leave the outside up and removed the inner shell to keep it dry when taking down in the rain.The vestibule was small but kept my boots dry overnight. I slept with my pack inside the tent beside me.Overall a great value for the money and this is a brand I’d like to try more of.

Good quality and easy to set up and it was a pleasant surprise for the price. Comes with a footprint, so no additional purchase necessary. Weight wise it's not too heavy (little over 4 lbs). There are lighter options in the market but for a premium.Space is enough for a petite couple but will get tight for two big guys. I would recommend this even for 1 person as there is additional space to keep your gear in.Great option for value for money.I don't backpack a lot so I am going to stick with this for a bit, but if I were to go on a multi-day through hike, I will consider paying a premium and purchasing something that is lighter, but can't find any issues with this tent by itself.

I purchased this tent 4 years ago. I have camped in it many times over the years. I do take care of my gear, so I don't treat it as roughly as others may. That being said I feel this is a good time to review this tent.Overall Impression: NatureHike was founded in 2010 with the goal of making durable, environmentally friendly products that offer "Camping for Everyone". This tent is affordable, for me durable, and does offer the ability for the "everyman" to camp with ease. It is a solid 2 person tent, medium weight (under 4lbs) with a very easy free standing set up.You can set it up as an ultralight, without actually using the tent just the fly, pole and ground cloth, but I'm not a big fan of not having the "protection" a secure room provides so I have little experience with that.This past weekend our Boy Scout Troop both set up and camped in a torrential downpour. I placed my Cloud Up 2 in what I thought was the high ground, and instead was basically a marsh. I remained dry. Comfortable and dry. I do utilize the ground cloth which was beneficial at preventing some of the puddles. It was incredibly windy and sideways rain and I stayed dry all night.The tent is roomy, just under 50 inches interior, and able to fit 2 full size pads. At 40+ inches tall it is difficult to sit up in the tent, but a tent is designed as a shelter so I'm OK with that. I'm 73 inches long, and easily fit without touch the front or back of the tent.The tent can be set up in under 2 minutes and in the event of a storm, the Fly can be set up first and tent body set up dry as well. The packed size of the tent is smaller than most sleeping pads and is able to fit in a variety of places in most packs (even smaller 30L packs).Summarization of the PROS:Compact StorageRoomy InteriorEasy <2 minute set upMid-Weight (light weight for being split between 2 backpackers).Now for the things I don't like:There is only 1 door, and it opens at the front. When getting inside of it in a rainstorm, you will get the front of your tent wet. There is no way to sit in the vestibule and remove wet or muddy clothing before getting into the tent. It is heavier than any of the "premium" tents like those by Ztents and Durston, and at 4lbs its pretty heavy for 1 person even if roomy, but could certainly be worse.So I would wholly recommend this tent for the following people: Budget Backpackers, New Backpackers, Boy Scout Backpackers, Old Backpackers, and Weekend warriors. I have not had the privilege to be a thru-hiker on a major trail so I can't say about that, however I would have no problem taking this on a thru-hike.So I highly endorse this. Camp Often and Camp Happy. Signing off.

I just received the tent, which appears to be very well made. All the seams and stitching are constructed to a high standard, and the tent is very easy to put up. It also comes with its own ground sheet which provides for additional protection on rough surfaces and extra insulation. As a person of 6,2” I particularly like the overall room and sitting hight the tent provides and the fact it is self standing is a plus. My expectation is it should do well in wind and rain. The packed weight of about 4lbs, including the ground sheet, which is very good, as I plan to use the tent for bike packing. I did a lot of comparative research before I bought the tent and for the features and price it’s very hard to beat. Finally, this is an upgraded model to a tent that’s been on the market for a long time with great reviews.
