Cloud Up 1

I love my Naturehike Cloud Up 1, though I've heard their Mongar and bikepacking lines are also excellent. It's a light tent (around 1.5kg/3.3lbs) and it is VERY rain and wind resistant. I've never had any issues at all in that regard. If comfort is your goal consider the Mongar 2p, the Cloud Up is a great tent for my purposes but esp the 1p is snug, it's not horribly coffin-like but I wouldn't say it's the most comfortable thing out there. Price is around $150. Feel free to ask me any questions if you have them :)

A foldable windscreen for my stove. I don't really do much cooking on hikes and, because of that, I don't really take the screen because it's just excess weight. So it sits in my closet. It was only $15 but I don't use it. Also an inflatable pillow. I got one that was one the pricier end because it's one of the most popular. It's not very comfortable at all. I just use my puffy jacket instead. I'm unsure if I regret my Lanshan 1 purchase. I haven't had the chance to use it more than twice yet, wrong season, but it's such a fiddly tent with a large footprint. I *think* I'm going to grow into really liking it but at with my first impressions I can't say I'm in love with this tent. I'm not sure how often I'll choose it over my Cloud Up 1 which is also a very light (not ultralight) tent that's completely reliable and hassle-free.

I would definitely get a 2 person tent. I use 1p tents because I'm short (5"3) and I highly value stealth elements (solo female hiker living in Europe in a country where wild camping is technically not exactly allowed so I definitely don't want to be seen). At my height I can bring my equipment in with me into a small tent but a 1p tent is just plain uncomfortable no matter what. Unless you have good reason to tolerate claustrophobic quarters definitely get the 2 person instead. The difference in weight between a 1p and 2p isn't significant. I'd say that anything under 2.5kg is still acceptably light. There's also an ultralight version of the Mongar. it's $70USD more than the regular and IMHO it's worth the extra . I'm a big fan of Naturehike products because they are just really well made. I have a Cloud Up 1 that's darn near hurricane-proof. Other brands to consider are 3F UL. They have both trekking pole tents and freestanding. If you're new to backpacking I'd go for the freestanding. It's just easier all around. One Tigris is also a good brand in that price range. For colour, you really can't go wrong with a dark green or brown. It will work in nearly every environment. Check out [The Outdoor Gear Review](https://www.youtube.com/@TheOutdoorGearReview/) on youtube. The host there reviews all kinds of tents and he breaks down all the details like size, weight, when and where to use etc.

Naturehike Mongar or Cloud up in their 3p version? It's relatively lightweight, affordable, and very well made. My cloudup 1p does really well in rain and wind.

For bad weather that's not extreme I really enjoy my Naturehike. I have the cloud up and it's nearly tsunami proof, that rain aint getting in! It's comparatively pretty light and affordable too. Won't pass with the ultralight community but it's much lighter than my old tent I replaced it with.

If money's no object I've heard that Hilleberg are some of the best out there (they'd better be!) All I can say from personal experience is that I've taken my Naturehike Cloud Up into moderately strong sustained winds and it did very well. I'm not sure how it would do in really high winds but it felt pretty solid at around 70kph gusts. A lot of it depends on the direction of the wind that you set up in and how well you can guy it out.

I ahve a Naturehike Cloud up and it's a narrow tent but also longer than most. I really like mine. Might be worth a look at least?

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

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.

Second the Cloud Up 1. Just enough room for me and my bag. I've used it on many campouts and it has held up well. Adjust the rainfly forward to give the body breathing room at the feet, otherwise condensation happens. Pretty minor issue for a $100 tent.

I have an older Cloud Up 1. Airflow is an issue at the feet because the only vent is at the head. I've pretty much solved that though by making sure the rainfly is pulled forward as much as possible leaving more of a gap between the ground and the rainfly at the feet. You also have to make sure the sides are pulled out far also. I get a lot less condensation now. It looks to me like the PRO has added more solid material at the head, probably trying to force more air to the feet. It seems like a poor work around, less mesh is generally a bad thing for a hot and humid climate. More mesh at the feet or another vent would have been better, obviously.

Nature hike Cloud Up 1 has been good for me for a couple years, fairly regular use.

TL;DR, online is always cheaper than a physical store in Singapore for hiking gear A 3d2n hike but you need to bring your own tent? Do you need to carry your own equipment as well? Do you plan on reusing the equipment and going for more technical hikes? If so, Amazon or Aliexpress is your best bet. If its the kind where there are porters or you will be carrying less than 10kg, Decathlon is fine. If you want a pretty good windproof/waterproof backpacking ultralight tent that doesnt break the bank, check out the Naturehike Cloud Up 1 on Lazada or Aliexpress. If going for something more casual (and very heavy + bulky), Coleman tents are comfortable but hardy. Also i would not recommend Decathlon hiking boots at all - many of my friends have come back with bleeding ankles or broken boots at the end of their hikes. At minimum, Colombia hiking boots on Amazon - you can get one with shipping for as low as S$100 there, depending on size Would also recommend hiking poles if you’re doing steep descents so you dont wreck your knees/ankles. Frankly a $40 pair from decath or amazon/aliexpress is good enough. I’ve used naturehike, and find that the performance-to-price ratio is better than $300 black diamonds. Go for a quick-lock system one rather than a “twist-to-lock” kind if you can, particularly if the terrain is forested Also consider what you dont mind buying off carousell instead of brand new and you can save a whole chunk - hiking bags are one such item. High-performance sleeping bags as well (just use a sleeping bag liner if you’re squeamish)

I have the CU1 in 20D nylon and it hasn't given me any trouble. Not a tent expert - that's all I've got, and all I really want from a tent

I have a Naturehike Cloud Up 1, very happy with it so far. Takes hardly any time to pitch (and can go up outer first if the weather requires it) and packs down nice and small. Only slight thing I'd say on that front is the poles are a bit longer than I'd like, I just put them somewhere else on my bike as they only just fit between my handlebars without touching. It stood up to some pretty awful rain this weekend without a hitch, and I didn't suffer with any condensation issues despite that.

I bought an entire setup on Aliexpress this year! Naturehike Cloud up 1, same brand sleeping mat and chair, a down quilt, plus all the little doodads like headlights and cutlery. No complaints so far except for a toasting fork who's head fell off midway through doing a marshmallow, and the weather hasn't exactly been sunny glory so the waterproofing on the tent is working as advertised.

Look at Naturehikes. I have a 1P tent from them that cost me £85 and weighs 1.5kg. Size wise it's basically a bivvy "with a bit extra" but it's enough to sit up in and store your bag either in its (tiny) vestibule or just next to your sleep mat.
