3F UL GEAR - Lanshan 1 Pro

Not listed, but last year I bought the 3F UL Lanshan 1 pro tent, and Qidian pro backpack and have lived out of them on many multi day trips. Overall quality and lightweight goes far beyond what I would expect at the low cost

Been carrying the Lanshan 1 Pro for about a year now and its great! Under 2 lbs, under $200. No need for ground sheet. Needs to be seam sealed but has not leaked in serious downpours. The inside can get dewy overnight but air dries quickly in the sun.

Yeah. I basically pitch It opened whenever is possible. Even under rain, I try to pitch the door high so there is more airflow from below and I even dont zip the doors together to the end, so more airflow. (lanshan 1 pro) Im now going to upgrade to a 2p tent (durston at a 95% chance) so I can play with two doors for the ventilation (also the more indoor room is welcome)

I have the lanshan 1 pro which is of good quality and can recommend it. Second for the seam sealing as being an approachable process, it requires a quick practice ti get used but it's worth it, especially if you got the space/time to do it.

A one person tent is going to be small no matter what you buy. You could get a pack cover and keep your pack outside the tent to give yourself more room or look at a nice two person tent like the Mongar 2. A trekking pole tent will almost always be significantly lighter than a tent with poles. Naturehike and 3F UL make excellent quality tents. I have and have used several of them. The trekking pole tents in this class of tents are going to feel the smallest and will be harder to get a good pitch in less than ideal conditions. But they will be the lightest. Tents with poles are easier to pitch and will perform better in less than ideal conditions such as uneven or slanted ground. They will also feel a little larger than the Lanshan 1. If you don’t mind the extra weight of tent poles, get one of these. If you need the lightest weight possible then get the Lanshan 1 Pro since it’s a single wall tent. Regarding poled tents, I thought the Cloud Up 1 was good but it is a bit of a struggle to wriggle in with a front end door then pull the pack into it. It would be good to ask on the backpacking forum although they generally don’t like the Chinese tent companies.

The Lanshan 1 Pro, new model with the T Door fly that opens both right and left side. Is super lightweight (650 gr or about 24oz). Sets up with one trekking pole, takes a small amount of real estate to set up in. Only downside is the tent needs to be seam sealed. Best seam-seal is use clear silicone, in a cup, dilute with paint thinner until it has a consistency of pancake syrup, paint on liberally to all the seams with a small paint brush or sponge brush. The whole process takes about a half hour, allow a couple hours to dry. I’ve had mine for a few seasons and I’ve done multiple hikes on the JMT, very happy with it. Current price: Ali Express: $155 US. https://preview.redd.it/9hb53qnkmute1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b2bd2ac4a6ba6b33ce6bb622defdd99ce599b6f

I've heard good things about that cloud tent, I've never seen it in person. I believe it's a three season tent, you wouldn't want to use it when it's too cold out. The 3FUL Lanshan Pro is a great ultralight budget tent which I have. It does require trekking poles to stand. That Nemo sleep mat is good as long as you are not a side sleeper. A 65L bag is big.

Take a look at the trekking pole tent Lanshan 2. The non pro model is double-walled. The ultralight community praises this tent for it's price/weight/quality combo. You will need to seam seal it yourself. I have the Lanshan 1 pro and really like it. Most people buy it from Aliexpress.

Damn, I think that's essentially the same Ozark Trail tent I paid $30 in 2018. It definitely gets the job done, but is real tight size wise. Lanshan 1 Pro feels cavernous in comparison and also half the weight if you use poles.

its better for warmer weather but I have the lanshan 1 pro and its pretty nice. I got it for 120 and its really nice quality and has a large vestible for storing stuff. granted its more of a backpacking tent so it packs down small is is not freestanding so you'll need a stick or trekking poles.

I moved from the lanshan 1 pro to the xmid 1 and im very happy with the xmid!

Would get the Lanshan 1 Pro honestly it's lighter and cheaper and bigger and better.

Lanshan 1 Pro is amazing. Would take it pretty much anywhere that isn't the top of a mountain.

I have the 1 Pro and it is perfect for 1 person. A double wall tent is just a single wall tent with a mesh bag inside so actually the pro has better ventilation. Both will have condensation but the Pro is spacious enough that you don't touch it and direct access means you can just remove it. It doesn't drip onto you during the night either, it runs down the wall and out the vent. At 6ft and with a wide sleeping pad I don't touch the ends or the sides in my winter sleeping bag, and when I sit up I don't hit the top.
