This tent sucks but if you don't have the money what can you do. Honestly I would say you are wasting your money if you plan to use it for hiking in other trips. It is a good tent for camping with a car etc. though.
You don't need to spend 400 euros. There is decathlon mt900 2p which is around 190 euros and it is really good, but yes it's way more expensive than this one.
There is also Lanshan 2p from AliExpress for around 109 euros with discounts at the moment, it's really good, plenty of people did through hikes with it and I have quite a few miles on one myself, I also have 1p pro version and walked traumpfad with it. ( You will need either walking sticks or to buy poles separately)
If you buy the one you showed mount it to the bottom instead of top, it will be much more stable carry.
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
I own this - you can pitch the edge low to minimise wind and as you note, reducing ventilation will create a LOT of condensation. The extra nylon will not do much in true 3 season conditions (I rely on a good sleeping bag) and don't even consider this for cold weather FYI.
Unsolicited recommendation: unless you are a gram-weenie (obsessed with weight) or tall and need the foot space (6'1'' or longer) steer away from the pro and towards the double-walled version which will manage the condensation better.
Finally I think it still doesn't come factory sealed on the seams so consider that for Scottish weather...
I've used the Lanshan 1 and Lanshan 1 pro extensively in the UK and European mountains. It's an excellent budget trekking pole tent but make sure you practice putting it up when you aren't in real-world conditions (pilrig park often sees me staking out a new tent in the midday sun!)
I have the Lanshan 2 as well. It's good value for money and light. I upgraded from the Pro which is even lighter but I was waking up cold as it doesn't have an inner fly sheet(only at the doors). Also the condensation in the pro was bad.
I have not had any issues with mine. I've extensively used the 1 pro in silnylon without complaints. My new pro 2 in silpoly seems very good too. They replaced the old plastic parts with metal, and the zipper is improved too.
Remember that the xmid is twice the cost in Europe
Getting beginners into the world of UL is an admirable idea. The way that this idea is currently expressed in this post is fundamentally anti-UL. Sorry to come off as polemical but this post's weight targets are crying to be called out.
The weight targets on this post normalize the market speak notion that 1kg tents are "UL." The idea that they are UL *because* they are also "beginner-friendly" destroys one of the key tenets of UL philosophy, which consists precisely in the idea that *skills substitute for (heavier) gear*. In sum, it adds "beginner friendly" as a parameter that overrides all others, including weight. That ain't UL and shouldn't be called UL *on this sub*. Mfgs can certainly call it what they want but that isn't what this sub is about.
Now, if beginner friendly and budget friendly are the two concerns *alongside* the overriding parameter of weight reduction, two 1P shelter options available for the budget conscious Eurozone buyer immediately stand out: the Hyberg Skini and the 3FUL Lanshan 1 *Pro*. These are both easy-peasy to pitch, give full protection from wind and precip, and cost well under 200€.
(There are other problems, too, that were already discussed on the previous incarnation of this post. Pricing is one of them. There is no such thing as "EU standard pricing." For example, in the *Eurozone*, which is not the same as the EU, the price of a GG The One ordered from Outdoorline is 361€, not 217,56€ as listed. This is a huge difference).
