Naturehike - Cloud Up Pro 2

Yeah it was awesome, I got the 2P version and I was comfortable with my gear inside.

Naturehike Cloud Up 2 Pro.

\+1 to the Cloud Up 2. I have the Pro in silnylon, and even though there's a few quirks I honestly can't complain for the price. It's an excellent combination of price/weight/comfort. It's easy to set up, and freestanding so hard to pitch wrong. It comes with stakes and footprint. Customer service is good, mine was missing the footprint and they shipped it from China. Downsides are that it's not for tall folks, and not for 2 people. IMO it is the best option for trying out wilderness backpacking. If you've done it for a while and you know your climate and preferences, you can pay more for specific advantages: lighter weight, bigger headroom, freestanding vs 1 vs 2 poles, less sag fabric, etc. If not, you can't go wrong with this tent.

get a naturehike, i got a cloud up 2 pro recently and it's quality. if you end up deciding you don't like certain things you'll be 400 euro less in the hole for a new one

It's a free standing kinda 3.25 season version of the cloudup. I prefer it because the 1P isn't free standing. The bigger 2Pro is actually easier and faster to setup. Also, I mostly solo backpack and bikepack with my dog so a big 1 person is ideal. Dog, me, gear have plenty of space. The 1P actually has a lot of space but it's not wide enough for 2 pads, which is an issue in colder weather. Packed size and weight isn't too much different either between the Cloudup 2Pro and 1P.

I’ve got that tent. Got it due to a recommendation on here. I had misgivings because of the weird hunchback shape, but it’s a great little tent. The pole system is a work of art. But… I think the shape amplifies sound so that sounds outside sound louder inside. Can be a bit disconcerting when wildcamping.

I agree, but would add that Cloud Up Pro 2 weighs only about 1.5 kg, while Lanshan 2 is about 1 kg. So quite massive weight savings with going for either of these. They are of course more expensive and might take some time to arrive (but likely can be shipped from within EU). But if future adventures are likely, these tents are very good to consider. I would also check if they are available used. Also, if often hiking with two people, I would look into 3 person tents. Unfortunately, Cloud Up is not available in Pro version for 3 people, but with 2.4 kg and more room is still a decent option. 3F UL offers QingKong 3 at similar weight, but two entrances. On the other hand, these 3 person tents may stretch the budget too much, so checking used market is recommended if it is a thing in OP’s region. If OP goes only for one overnight hike, just get the decathlon tent, no need to spend a dime more.

We have the two person one and I wanted my boyfriend to get the three person one originally as well. Glad we went with the two person. Its amazing! Our two mats fit perfectly against each other making it one big comfi area and no falling in gaps/ off the mat. The dome makes it feel more roomy than our other triangle tent. It held up well in mild wind and long rainshowers thus far and is easy to set up. We just took it for three weeks tenting in the US and were very happy with it. Sometimes it was near freezing temps, with a good mat and bag it was very comfi.

I still have my Northface StarLight, it looks just like your Tadpole. I am not sure the different; but anyway... I have the same problem as you do. It is a bit heavy for solo camp or backpacking. I do not want to spend more than $200 for it, since I only go backpacking maybe 1 or 2 a year. Also I have other gears want to get. So I end up got NatureHike Cloud Up Pro from Amazon. It is close to 3lb with everything. It is free standing. I do wish the entry is on the side for easy access; but it is not big deal. Good luck.

Nature hike cloud up pro was what I ended up getting. Very happy with my purchase!
