Naturehike - Tagar 1

Naturehike Tagar 1? 1.3kg with extra footprint. If poles don't fit in the handlebars, just strap them to the frame. Problem with NH is that for people taller than \~175cm, maybe 180cm with thin sleeping bag (low loft) most their tents are too short (due to sloped walls). Star River 2 and Mongar are great, but those are 2p tents.

What did you end up with? I'm also looking for something with nearly exactly same requirements (similar height and weight, but I don't mind keeping nearly all stuff in the vestibules to reduce tent's weight), mostly for multiday MTB trips (so I need to get pretty strict with volume and weight and still cover broad temp range in humid conditions). Trekking pole tents require you to take extra poles and are not freestanding (or even semi-freestanding, you can always use your bike as an anchor or two), what instantly kills their weight gains. X-Dome sounds great, but when you add the weight of the stakes, guylines, extra groundcloth it enters the range of +- 1.2kg tents. Also, in Europe VAT taxes make it a really expensive choice. Marmot Tungsten 1P UL always pitches inner-first, what for me (and many others) is a deal breaker. Copper Spur 1 UL is hard to get in Europe without crazy price (not only VAT tax but also customs). Naturhike Taga(r) 1 could a great bang for a buck (on discounts it costs 3-4x less than other mentioned here tents), so cheap that using it with no ground cloth doesn't hurt the wallet as much. With no groundcloth it also gets into +- 1.2kg range. It's a hybrid that is technically a single layer tent, but with wisely placed mesh sides of an inner, so most of the condensation drips on the ground, not the bathtub... But it's so sloped that at 6ft I found impossible to not to touch the wall with either feet or head. I heard that smallest NEMO OSMOs get really cramped for taller people, but never had a chance to try out one. FreeLight 1 on discounts can be found for like 300 EUR and with the groundcloth stays a reasonable contender - potentially slightly stronger than XDome (european version with alu poles), much cheaper, but semi-freestanding + that annoying fly cutout introducing some condensation on inner, in your legs. Chinese silnylon 3x3 tarp + some (most likely custom) mesh bivy -- I'm afraid that cheap & light Lixada bivy will not let my sleeping bag gain enough loft when I cram into it. On the other hand, other mesh bivies are much more expensive (like 5+ times, while materials for DIY cost twice the Lixada's bivy) and use way less robust bathtub materials, likely requiring some extra groundcloth. Using bike as a support and taking few mini-groundhog clones and a bunch of paracord / dyneema guylines total weight should be below 0.85kg extremely low price...

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).

Pass sa Naturehike. Mabilis nawala ang waterproofing at seam tape. 2 to 3 years lang tinagal. I tried both Mongar 2P at Tagar dati. Iba pa rin gawang local at the same price point like Apexus, Silangan or Brown Trekker. Mas mabigat lang ng konti sa Naturehike pero di kasing bigat sa Decathlon.

It’s fine! I’ve used it several times! Hiked 140km in the Swedish mountains. Fairly lightweight and sturdy.

Naturehike. Tested ko na sa camping sa Pulag yong 2P. Lakas ng rain at hangin sa campsite. Nasa 2.5 kg kilos ata yang 2P. Di kasama accessories. Mas magaan dyan yong 1P tent, 1.3 kg di kasama accessories.
