    Is this an elite tent? Being more than twice the price of a similar sized coleman dome (on discount), is there a reason you'd buy this instead?

    • +6

      This is more for hiking with, not car camping.

      • I have the Coleman it is pretty light weight. Maybe this is less?

        I think this is the model I have:

        https://www.amazon.com.au/Coleman-Sun-Dome-Tent-Person/dp/B0…

        I think I paid like $60

        • +19

          Coleman doesn't make serious backpacking tents. They make car camping gear.

          This Naturehike tent is for backpacking - it's made with very thin siliconised nylon fabric, it'll be made fairly light.

          Downsides is that it'll be fairly fragile, and cramped.

          It's not 'elite' by backpacking standards. It is very budget, it looks like a knockoff. A seriously good two person backpacking tent will cost three to five times more than this.

          That Coleman is backyard or car camping. It won't deal with serious wind+rain. The rain fly doesn't even cover the inner properly.

          • +1

            @rumblytangara: OK thanks for that explanation. It has been really good on the three or four camping trips out bush that we've done, but we only go camping in the dry season so rain resistance isn't really an issue here. I want to go on a trek down south at some point so will have to start thinking about those different conditions.

          • +4

            @rumblytangara: Naturehike stuff is alright. Not worse than paying triple or more for Kathmandu or macpac stuff. Obviously not super elite but pretty decent.

            • @RI4V4N: Does Macpac still make good tents? I haven't paid attention it their stuff for ages.

              I was comparing more to brands like Nemo, MSR or Big Agnes.

              120 is incredibly cheap, if what someone else posted is true and this is an nsr clone, if I needed a test I'd be on this.

              • +3

                @rumblytangara: Naturehike wouldn't be far off the quality of Macpac. I'd certainly rather pay a lot less for a Naturehike or Lanshan than the prices Macpac ask.

                It really depends on what you're after. There's a huge range now - MSR and Big Agnes are still the usual favourites, and I've seen a lot of Sea to Summit Telos and Alto around lately. Durston is absolutely worth a look - I love my X-Mid, especially with the extra carbon poles.

                • +1

                  @AlexD: X-mid all the way!!!

              • +1

                @rumblytangara: Hubba Hubba is 1.47kg. Quite a bit lighter.

              • @rumblytangara: If you're going to use this more than ten times hiking, then invest in a better tent. Weight savings alone, and warranty for replacement parts will save you more money in the long run. I've had my Nemo for 12 years, where they've replaced the fly, poles, grommets, footprint under warranty.

          • @ragrum: For sure. If you had to carry a 7.4 kg tent more than 20 km (along with other gear) you'd probably never go hiking ever again.

          • +1

            @ragrum: It's 3.4kg (7.17lbs). The 7.4 kg is for the 6 person version.

    • +4

      This would be quite a bit lighter and compact when packed up. It is a clone of a MSR Hubba Hubba tent so it does have some nice features.

      I recommend to get a size up so it's roomier. eg get the 3 person tent for two people

      • It did seem fairly narrow. I have two king single dune mattresses which I think max out a '5 man coleman tent', which at most would fit 3.

        • +2

          A 2 person hiking tent is for 2 slim people who don't move in their sleep. You want at least a 3 person hiking tent if you want to comfortably sleep 2 people.

          You should also not use your dune mattresses if you plan to hike/trek camp. That thing just takes up way too much room in your pack, if it even fits.

          • @thispasito: lol yeah I would never take those big boys on a hike. thanks, I think I need a 3 man tent

          • @thispasito: I have had two people in my Mongar and honestly it's pretty roomy compared to my friends 2 person tents.

    • -1

      Comparing to a similar sized coleman - thanks for the laugh.. And a Holden Astra is a similar size to a Tesla - but that is nowhere near the same either! Completely different levels of technology, quality and even functionality. NatureHike is serious light weight hiking kit for 3/4 seasons. Coleman is throw it in the back of your car and hope it doesnt rain much.

    • No it's not. You can spend way more than this on a tent. A normal backpacking tent is 400-600 bucks.

  • Shame the coupon doesn’t apply to the Cloud Up 3

  • +1

    I haven't bought a tent before, would this one fit in 2 adults and 1 kid (2 year old) ?

    • Well, it is only 135cm wide…
      Fits yes, comfortable, no!

      Get a four person tent at least, better 6 person tent

    • +2

      Probably not. A 2p tent is suitable for 1 person and their gear. You can fit 2 people, but you will be snug inside.

    • No, too small. This is designed for 2 people with hiking sleeping pads (typically under 80cm width). You'd likely want a 4 person tent.

      If car camping - the Coleman Instant Up 4P is a reliable and easy to use product. For backpacking you would need something like a Big Agnes or MSR ($600- $1k) or 2 X these Naturehikes.

      This design looks very similar to MSR Elixir / Hubba. A great tent as it can be freestanding, dual entry and has vertical end walls for more space.

    • The 3 person tent would be big enough. I see people recommending 4 person tent. If you are car camping then 4 person tent is viable but if you are hike camping, a 4 person tent adds too much unnecessary weight and takes up too much carrying space.

    • No, but there are alternatives depending on what you're planning on.

      If you're hiking, you can often pickup something like the Marmot Tungsten 3 person or the North Face Stormbreak 3 for pretty reasonable prices. Both are ~3.2kg all in, which is pretty reasonable if you're splitting the load (one person carries fly/poles, the other inner/footprint). I use Durston tents for long hikes and bikepacking, but will still pack my 5+ year old Marmot Tungsten 2P when I'm doing an easier hike and I want more space.

      If you're car camping, just buy something cheap and bigger like a Coleman - weight really doesn't matter then.

    • Depends on how much gear you have in the tent with you. If your packing in, you have your gear in the tent or the vestibule. You could get away with a 3 person I think for such a little kid. My sons and I shared a 2 person tent until they were about 10. They could still fit, but they are old enough to carry a second tent now. I find Naturehikes 2 person tents fit all my camping gear (backpack and gear unpacked, plus my sleeping gear fine. Adding 1 "person" in sizre over actual number of adults usually works well. Look at the floor plan size and image that is the maximum area.

  • If only delivery was sooner

  • "3-SEASON,2-PERSON TENT" Hmm, what about the 4th season?

    • +1

      4 season is the hotel I'll be staying when I go camping!

    • Well you likely won't need the 4th season if camping in Australia in all likelihood. Are you thinking of bringing it overseas?

      • So you don't think temps below 5 at night in Victoria in winter counts as a 4th season??

        • +2

          I don't. I camp with this exact tent year round. I suppose if you were camping out in the alps on snow, you would not use this tent. @thispasito said it better than I did

          • @aupleb: Unless you are snow hiking on Buller or Kozi, you will not need a "4 season" tent. It's to do with stretght of snow on top and ability to peg into a snow base. Not applicable to most people.

        • So you don't think temps below 5 at night in Victoria in winter counts as a 4th season??

          Of course I don't. I just did a 3 day hike few weeks back around Mornington with my Gossamer Gear 3 season tent and it reached below those temps.

          Temps alone doesn't mean it's considered a 4th season. Maybe if you are planning to do the multiday hike near Mt Buller when there is snow you could need one. How likely is that??

          Last time I needed a 4 season tent was up in The Rockies. VIC doesn't have that type of snowfall.

    • +8

      A 4 season tent means a tent you can use in the snow. So you can't use this one in the snow because it lacks snow skirting and insulation.

    • 4 season means big snow camping. Winter and a dusting of snow would be fine in these. Just don't put a 1m of snow on top and expect it to be safe inside.

  • +3

    picked this one up for $119.15, a whole 5c cheaper in may. not to brag but you guys are getting stiffed out bargained once again

  • They are actually quite spacious than what they look from outside. It won't compare with car camping gear for sure, but I do use this kind of hiking gear for car camping too, they are also more wind proof, you don't need to be too picky about the location.
    You can use hiking gear when doing car camping gear but not the other way round. If you are not going to buy both types this is the better one of the two.

  • +1

    Isn't there a version that's 20D fabric that is 1.7-2.1kg? Sorry paying extra to save 300 - 600 grams if you're hiking with it.

    Naturehikes are great tents for the price.

    • +3

      The other colours are the 20D silnylon version for $175. Ditch the groundsheet, swap the stakes for something lighter and replace the guylines with dyneema cord and you'd likely be around 1.6-1.7kg.

      • +1

        Or use a Tyvek groundsheet, that's my plan. I think the bottom is a bit fragile. Good call on using dyneema/UHMWPE cord for the guys

    • I just bought the Star-River yesterday for $135. Slightly smaller, lighter and there is a 20D version.

    • Get a CloudUp, that's lighter, but smaller vestibules (storage outside the main inner but still under the fly) should be about your range. Come in 20D and you can leave they groundsheet home if you want to save some extra weight.

  • Upvoted for naturehike.

    I’ve had their Taga 2 for around 5 years. Great tent. Much lighter than this one though.

  • +5

    I have a Nature Hike Cloudup tent that I took for a 6 day hike through the Western Arthur's in Tassie. No complaints, it absolutely rocks. You get some extra stuff paying triple (or more) for big name brands but 100% their tents will do the job and hold up well.

  • +1

    I wouldn't have a need for this particular Naturehike tent for a solo trip but I can recommend the Cycling Tent. I just bought a backup for mine on Amazon for the lowest price it's been because my original one is three years old and well used. (It went down to about $110 shipped)

    The Cycling tent does benefit from some minor tweaks (Tie out loops on the fly and inner mesh) to get it to it's full potential and it's easy to do with a needle and thread.

    The dark or leaf green helps blend in when your free/stealth camping and don't want to be as obvious when your pitched.

    The Cycling tent has better height than the Cloud up 1 (Far more popular model) and has a side opening for entry/exit.

      I've been trying to figure out a solution to this for 30-odd years

    • Any idea if you can still get the 2 person version of the cycling tent? I have the 1 person and its fantastic but just too small inside. Cant seem to find the 2p one anywhere….

      • I've never seen a 2 person version, it might exist but I haven't seen it while researching etc.

        • they definately used to do one as i was tee-ing up between the 2 when I bought the single person one. But then they seem to disappear… Shame…

    • Do tents have a temperature rating or is it upto the sleeping bags?. Would it be suitable for bike packing in snowys?

      • +1

        They dont have ratings but I do find a nylon inner is always warmer than a mesh inner, just adds more weight though. I have a few NatureHike tents and a OnePlanet one. The One planet is much heavier but warmer. The bag is the main key keep you warm… and a good thermal mat.

      • +1

        They have season ratings. Basically the extreme is a Four Season that will stop snow blowing up under the air gap of the outer fly, through the mesh into where your sleeping.

        As ShipShapRC said, a good bag with a sleeping mat that keeps you warm is better to aim for. Warmth can equal extra weight. Prices of very light but very warm stuff is pretty sizeable. Just depends what you want and how long you want to use it for. People complain about camping costs but it can be cheaper than other hobbies if you're getting the use out it (Something that has taken me a long time to realise).

  • I prefer it to glow in the dark, so it easier finding my way home.

  • I own one of these. Definitely only suitable for one person or a codependent couple.

  • +1

    I have had one of these tents for about 3 Years and can safely say it's great value for money for a backpacking tent. I have used it as an outdoor ed guide because I didn't want to pay 3 times as much for something I was going to thrash and leave out in the sun every week. I probably spend a bout a third of the year in it and it has stayed water proof and withstood some insane winds. After being in the sun for so long though the fly has finally torn in the vestibule. I patched it and it's still going. The best thing after it's weight to price ratio is the loft storage. The only other tent I've seen with this is the ONE PLANET Goondie.

    If you're looking at a Krapmandu (sorry katmandu) krapac (oh yeah I meant macpac) or denali (anaconda's brand and probably as low as you could go for backpacking tents after something from bcf) get this instead. It's going to be the same if better quality and way cheaper. Don't get an oztrail or coleman unless you're just going car camping every now and then. Just please don't.

    Obviously not as good as something from Mont, ONE PLANET, MSR, Nemo, Big Agnes and the likes but very competitive in weight and just in another league in price. Also my Mongar was PURPLE!!!
