Naturehike - Opalus

Nice. My gf and I use the Opalus 4person tent 3.9kgs. We both have a dog on the back of the bike each and are able to get both bikes in the vestibule (each bike has a large crate on the rear rack also). One bike laying on its side and the other standing up, with enough room to still walk in and out of each door. We have used it on about 4 multi day trips already. Solid tent.

Grass is always greener. While riding with our dogs and camping gear on our bikes, (my bike with dog weighing 56kg. Not an ebike!) we often think, "i wonder if the tent is overkill and we could've gotten away with a lighter weight option. They are cheap enough that you could have both options! The 4p tent is higher also, so easier to sit up in.

In the army we used bivy sacks, not tents, but I still always brought two contractor size garbage bags along to protect my gear from rain. I would imagine that could be a cheap effective solution for keeping your gear/bike dry. But, on the tent side of the discussion, I actually use the nature hike opalus tunnel tent, which has a massive vestibule. I am yet to use it for a bike trip, but I doubt that the vestibule would fit my bike without removing the front tire. I have this particular tent because when I go summer backpacking, I can bring my dogs along and the vestibule makes a nice place for them to sleep. It fits my needs well. I recommend it… if it fits your needs well. $199.99 https://preview.redd.it/xxglwsinrx7e1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9a84742192468148eb1286f39fd933df7541b48
