Naturehike - Cloud Up 1

you might be ok if summer sleeping bag and a compact mat, i have this tent and its fine for summer but i wouldn't want to be using it in bad weather, for a low budget tent it does compact down nice and small i think 11L is doable but probably not with a budget inflatable pad

Yer that should work, I think my naturehike 1 fits in 6L with the pole now i think about it

Have you looked at the Nature hike Cloud up 1 or 2?

£140 from Amazon. Lots of space for one person and your kit and weighs 1.8kg all in. Freestanding inner that clips onto the poles and then flysheet you put over the top. Vestibule in the front to cook in. It looks a lot like the Terra Nova Voyager. It's probably a copy of that tent.

I use the nature hike star river 2, cloud up 1 and 2. Awesome durable tents that are incredible quality for the price.

Love my cloud up Edit: also oml yeah I feel like the most unagile person who has ever lived getting in and out of 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.

Naturehike. Tested ko na sa camping sa Pulag yong 2P. Lakas ng rain at hangin sa campsite. Nasa 2.5 kg kilos ata yang 2P. Di kasama accessories. Mas magaan dyan yong 1P tent, 1.3 kg di kasama accessories.

I have a Tagar 2 which I have used cor solo camping. I imagine the Tagar 1 might be a bit snug with your gear inside. It is single skin, so there is an extra element of condensation, but the couple of times I’ve used it it has not been enough to cause an issue. It is the lightest tent I have and sets up nice and easy, although I am still debating how useful the included footprint is. First use was in torrential rain, and I mean torrential by uk standards, and strong winds. Footprint ended up collecting water which pooled under the tent and may have had some ingress because of this. That night there was a little light spray of rain getting through, but it was extreme rain. I own a few Naturehike tents (Cloud Up 1, Cloud Peak, Opalus 2) and rate them all pretty highly and never really had a problem with any of them.

I have a cloud up 1, star river 2, and a friend just got a mongar 2. It's essential to get through silnylon fly IMO. I've been through hours of rain and have never had a drop in my tent. OP, look at the mongar 2. I believe it's smaller and the side entry is a huge improvement. It also has a lot more room under the fly for gear.

Have you checked them in person? Most of chinese tents are very short due to aggressively sloped walls (to use less materials and keep the weight competitive with western brands). At 183cm with a bag with 450g down fill I wasn't able to fit in a CloudUp 1 without pushing the inner against the flysheet, compressing the sleeping bag there and in result getting wet feet on a night slightly below the freezing. You may really want to put your sleeping pad and the bag/quilt in to the tent before travelling with it. Taiji is freestanding, while CloudUp needs some staking to not to let the sidewalls collapse. Star River / Mongar are 2-person tents that have nearly vertical walls in head and feet and should be much better for you (tho no 1-person variant on the market) Check out the Decathlon's tents.

If you are below 175, maybe 180cm tall, CloudUp will surely be OK. If you can manage condensation (sleeping alone in well vented tented should make it bearable, if it's raining out there you may need to use your buff or small microfiber cloth piece to wipe the inside part of the fly), you can look at the NH Taga/Tagar 1 tent. It will be semi-freestanding like CloudUp, but due to no separate inner mesh (only side walls have inner mesh glued to them) it should take less space and be lighter. If you want it truly freestanding, then there are Mongar / Star River tents, but both are 2P. (At least older versions of) NH Vik had issues with bad top vents placement that sometimes let the rain in. Whichever you choose, take the variant with silnylon fly (which chinese mark by adding denier number to the name - for example \`20D\`). Poliester one (typically labelled them as \`210T\`) will be heavier and bulkier when rolled up, but cheaper. If you want it even smaller and still cheap, I'd look at \`Flame's Creed 3x3m 15D\` tarp combined with Lixada's mesh inner. Very light, dirt cheap and definitely OK for shorter person. You can look up the ways to set it all up using your bike, when there are no trees, fences or other poles around (or grab foldable carbon fiber trekking poles, which are much cheaper than dedicated tarptent poles - 130cm one weighs 125g and costs 20-22$).

I edited my comment with more details. Enable the translation and check out this Taga review: [https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/05/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-1.html](https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/05/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-1.html) [https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/06/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-2-w.html](https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/06/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-2-w.html) Taga, compared to CloudUp has small bar across the main pole arc, which makes it more spacious inside, CloudUp badly needs to be widely staked, otherwise sides fully sag inside. Getting compact and light double layer tent that is both cheap and freestanding is impossible :) Depending on where you are Hubba 1, XDome 1+, Copper Spur (1 person variant) or something akin Dragonfly 1 would fit you, but those are not budget tents. That said, semi-fresstanding chinese ones are okay for not too tall people. CloudUp is very popular everywhere for a reason. But I happily sold my 1P after a single night and can not measure it to verify the dimensions provided by the manufacturer (did you check them out by the way?) I have only Taga 1 left (still waiting to be sold).

Naturehike 1 cloud up series is really affordable and very light if you don’t mind sleeping in a triangle
