I Recommend Naturehike , some of theirs ultralight tents they are great. Have 1p cloud up 15d version is abou 1.2 kg. But few weeks ago i bought 2p Cloud up 2 10d and thats abou 1.17 kg without floor. Its cost me 160 €. Naturehike have amazing tents. And theres one new ultralight model too Star river ext 10d version , its about 1.35 kg but its have two vestibules and cost about 200€ or 280€ . My friend bought it its look nice.
I had the similar Cloud Wing 10D with the same fabric as the Cloud UP 10D and i loved it. Now I own the Cloud Up 15D in grey because an airline lost my baggage with the cloud wing lol. What sucked with the Cloud Wing: - The 10D fabric is quite delicate and the stuff sack in the same 10D fabric ripped quite early on when taking out the tent. - The cloud wing's 1.5 wall design sucked as it trapped bugs in it's side wing. - When the fabric gets wet the fabric sags and you should use the guy lines. ⠀ What I liked - The fabric feels amazing to touch - Big tent for just 1kg - Waterproof, kept me dry - packs so small - the color combo, that translucent white and yellow made me feel in a good mood to start the day - Sun wakes you up because of the translucent fabric. ⠀ So my advice to you is to use the gui lines and buy better tent stakes.
CloudUp is a real MVP for budget-friendly lightweight tents. I’ve had mine for a couple years now and it’s handled rain, wind, and even a surprise night of snow. Super easy to set up too, which honestly saved me after some long hikes when all I wanted was food and sleep 😂.
Can definitely recommend that Cloud Up from Naturehike. Used mine for 2 years before upgrading but it always did great. I think it's also considered one of the best budget tent buys for most hikers
Naturehike Cloud-Up would be my pick - I've had mine for 3 years of rough use and it's still going stong, surprisingly durable for the price point and only weighs around 3.5lbs.
Naturehike tents have been my festival or car camping tents for years but the 2p ones make half decent trekking tents too. They’re made in China so it’s not weird to order them from Temu. Personally I got mine from AliExpress and they are higher quality, and thus more likely to last, compared to other similarly priced tents. I think buying one is more environmentally friendly in this way. The most environmentally friendly tent is a secondhand tent but the next best thing is one that will not immediately become landfill.
Will get downvoted but for your frequency of use I'd go with Naturehike. I have a 2 person and 3 person. Years of use at least a couple times a year each and only had to replace some stakes that I lost.
