Lanshan 2 Pro

Lanshan 2 pro is king for me!

Good afternoon campers, Lanshans are not that great. Ok for light use but the inners are not too robust also although the outer is the zips have had a tendency to break open. Fixable but annoying. A good option if you can pick one up cheap or in good second hand condition but check the points I've mentioned before parting with any cash. Plus point is they are surprisingly warm for at best a two season mesh inner. Three months solid experience of living in one and I've done the last month of cold weather in the UK in one. If you just want an occasional use tent and don't mind a bit of extra weight save yourself over a hundred quid and just get one from the OEX range but change the guy rope tensioners to the cheap plastic ones as the metal rings wear out rapidly. I camped through storm Babbette in one of these a couple of years back and it was solid until the tensioners gave out. It all depends on where you're going and what weather is expected. Hope this helps.

2 pro as far as I know.

It is bigger than the regular, and since it doesn't have a mesh inner you have more useable internal volume as well. Condensation won't be an issue if you keep one or both vestibules open for ventilation (assuming no rain), otherwise you can just wipe any condensation away with a cloth. The tent itself won't actually form any more or less condensation than the one with a mesh inner. You can get 3FUL to seam seal the tent for you if you add it as an extra at checkout.

Lanshan 2 pro? Only an extra 150 grams and you get nearly double the size. I used it for the TMB last year and it was great

I would go with a BRS 3000T stove which is less than 1/3rd the weight and really all you need. I have 3 of them. One for my Jeep, one for my son and one for backpacking. Plus its tiny and will nest inside a Toaks 750ML pot. If you use trekking poles. Consider the Lanshan 2 Pro tent (2.21 lbs). Or the Lanshan 2 regular double-wall (2.5 lbs). And similar price range. Bullet proof. Personally I still carry a Frogg Toggs UL rain jacket. I've tried many others and sold/returned them all. I also have a 3F UL Gear silnylon rain skirt/kilt for a little more coverage. If you are doing shoulder season trips, get some extra mid-layer insulation like an alpha hoodie or some kind of light fleece. That 32 degree down puffy probably won't cut it alone when sitting around camp at night and temps drop down to the 20s or lower.

Joining the chorus here, I have both a Lanshan 2 Pro and Durston Xmid 2. I like them both but generally I would recommend spending the extra money and getting the Durston. The polyester fly doesn't sag half as much as the SilNylon on the Lanshan. It's got more usable space to.

I've got a lanshan 2 Pro and an Xmid 2. I've had them both out in heavy weather and they both work fine but the Xmid is definitely a better tent. The lanshan sylnylon sags a lot and condensation is a big problem, but if you seal the seams properly it will keep you dry in high wind and heavy rain. The Xmid is way more flexible, you can set it up without the inner to get out of the weather in a hurry and the sylpoly doesn't sag as much. Also a much more solid pitch and way less flappy in the wind.

I have a lanshan 2pro. I’m 5’11’ and I have to be careful if I don’t want my feet to touch the wall. Condensation isn’t too bad. It does happen but after two days of solid rain in the Wyoming and being in a cloud for a third my bag was ok. I would put a shirt over my foot box and it would keep my sleeping bag dry enough. Now I have some box wax waterproofing on the foot box and it keeps it dry. I added my own seam sealing to keep it waterproof. If it’s really windy I find something like a bush or a rocks to break the wind. I wouldn’t use it as a mountaineering tent but it does well I rough winds if you stake it low to the ground and have good stake placement.
