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

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.

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.

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).

I had this tent and it lasted a while but eventually the zip gave up. It was crucial to gauge the wind direction and stick the front or rear into it. Making the mistake of letting the side get hit would really bend it over.

I've used it a lot over the past 18 or so months. Never had a problem with durability or rain. It's never been super windy for me though. You do need to dial in the rainfly so you get some airflow at your feet. There will be some condensation down there otherwise. Set it up with the rainfly loose and even out the spacing as you tighten it down.

It really just depends how you feel about the rest of your gear. I have the Cloud Up 1 tent and I'll probably use it until I break it. There's lots of other gear I'd get before a new tent because it works well and it's light enough. Check out litesmith.com and garagegrowngear.com. I don't know what their shipping to EU is but I expect it may be better here in the US.

Are you going places where pegs might be difficult to get in the ground ? If yes, the go the Cloud Up (I’ve got the 1p it’s good). If no, then go the Lanshan, it’s a bit roomier inside and a bit lighter. Both are very good tents.

I have the CloudUp1 and I'm happy with it. I'd suggest buying on Amazon because the prices are similar to Aliexpress for this brand. Check the 3 + 4 star reviews on Amazon to get an idea of what you're getting. Bottom line is if you're on a budget this brand will get you out there, and that's the most important thing!

Naturehike CloudUp. Your budget and your waterproofing needs don’t align. Invest in an additional tarp to hang above your tent and extra sealant to give the seams an extra coat. Also read up on correct tarp placement below your tent, we see a lot of people with tarps extending beyond the tent, which would cause rain to pool and go under the tent. Lastly research site placement and how to look for obvious signs that water or temporary streams pass through. Finding a small area of higher elevation could be the difference between sleeping in a pool or sleeping dry.

I’ve owned the 1P CloudUp for 4 years, and while I don’t get out as much as I’d like (hence the low budget for gear) I’ve probably put 25-30 nights on the tent. It’s held up well, but I’ve never had rough rain. There are extra stakeouts and lines if you want to make it really secure, so bring some extra stakes if you expect lots of wind. It doesn’t come with enough for all the stakeout points

I'm a fan of Naturehike tents. Pretty light. Inexpensive but not cheaply made. Some of the design choices aren't ideal but for the money they cant be beat. I have 2 Cloudups the 1 and the Pro 2. I like both. My niggles are I hate tunnel entry tents and the door entry is small. However, they make all sorts of tents including side entry and actual tunnel tents. Most are knockoff designs of more expensive brands. They will keep you dry and are light in the wallet. Oh, I also own Marmot, Walrus (which is now MSR), TNF, and an EMS knock off a Northface VE-25 and I've used real Northface winter mountain tents. I also owned a Eureka at one time. Definitely have experience with better brands. You can't go wrong with naturehike while figuring out your forever tent.

You cant go wrong with Nature Hike. I have a cloudup 1 which works in summer with a dog but honestly is a little small width wise. For one person it's roomy and I have spent about 20 nights in it with two different dogs weighting about 40-50lbs. I can't use it in shoulder season or winter because my dog needs a pad and I can't fit 2 pads. I got a Cloudup 2 Pro because it's a little easier to set up (in theory, since it's totally freestanding) but also because it's a 3.25 season tent. Wouldn't recommend the 2pro for summer use but a lot of my camping is cooler weather -10C overnights. Space wise it's great for dog + me + gear but definitely not a legit 2P tent due to the steep walls. It's basically an A frame. There may still be a cloudup 2 in my future or another summer naturehike model once I test the 2pro in warmer conditions. Dollar for dollar these are great tents and well made.

The weight on the 210t tent on Amazon is wrong. The grey one is 20D and should be 1.8kg. The Mongar is a knock off of the MSR Hubba Hubba. I've been using a 3F UL Gear Hubba knockoff for several years now, in the PNW and it's a great tent. No problems with rain at all. I'm sure the Mongar is similar quality.

Not sure why youre being downvoted.... most likely by some brand heads who never tried NatureHike or doesnt believe in Amazon's product. I too was a skeptic at first ! NatureHike, in particular, CloudUp series are pretty great tent and its quite lightweight at 1,5kg only packed. Ive been using NH CloudUp for the last 3 years until ive upgraded into slightly bigger ones from Big Agnes Salt Creek 2p.

I have a Lanshan and the Cloud 2UP. The Cloud is a solid tent that ai have used dozens of times in rainstorms, heat and every thing in between. One night I slept out in a storm on a granit dome and it was perfect. The Lanshan however, would be fine in the ri g ht conditions. In the rain or cool, expect to get wet inside from all the condensation. The foot of my sleeping bag was saturated and I often got drops on my face. There's no way I could spend 2x wet nights in one.

I tried lots of options, from classic Naturehike CloudUp to various frameless shelters. Now I stopped on Lanshan 1 with a carbon pole. This setup is sub 1 kilo, quite spacious and requires little space. Also the tent is connected with the mesh liner and can be easily pitched in the rain. https://preview.redd.it/bi0vrh2uyzwe1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3cb6b0d03c2ffecfc28319379e8d32e7cf37682

Yeah the CloudUp is super nice. HOWEVER… you’ve already discovered r/Ultralight… why not take it a step further? Get a trekking pole tent (or a tarp)! I seriously recommend checking out 3FUL’s Lanshan trekking pole tent. I used it for 1000 mi on the PCT and it’s absolutely spectacular OR, get the “Twinn tarp” from Gossamer Gear, everything on their site is like 1/3 off right now!
