    Good for hiking, but we all know its really a one-man tent. Even Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal would find it too small.

    • Perhaps 2 kids?

      • +2

        of course. Two friendly teenagers even.
        I can recommend this tent if you really need to keep weight to a minimum. And easy to set up.
        If you are car-camping, just get a bigger dome tent from K-mart.

    • +4

      Two man tent if you are hiking and have to carry everything you put in it, if you are car camping you'll bring extra wide mattresses and half the house and it's not going to work

      • +2

        can confirm half the house was packed

    • +1

      My understanding is that tents advertise the number of people that it can accommodate for emergency shelter, not for comfort. Same goes for sleeping bag ratings, they advertise the minimum temperature at which they will keep you alive, not happy and toasty warm.

      • +5

        That just a rationalisation. I'm sure they started out honest, but sales people increasingly stretched the truth over time.

  • +10

    This is a pretty good tent — I have the 3P version — but it's very annoying having to crawl in and out of the tent via the single doorway at the end. Take a look at the Naturehike Mongar 2 instead, which has full-length doors on both sides of the tent making it easy to access and providing much better airflow.

    • +3

      I have the 3P version

      I've had the same 3P version for about 9-years now.

      It's very good value for the money, and roomy for a single-person tent as well.
      The single-doorway is OK, but not as annoying as not having much vestibule space,
      which is handy during rainy weather.

      • +1

        I have the 3P as well, I hadn't really had a problem with the vestibule space - but I got the 3P version with snow flaps so that adds a little extra usable room.

        I wish the mongar had the extra flaps, they were good when in NZ winter, and really did well for beach camping in Western Australia, piling sand up on the snow flaps worked a treat for the wind resistance.

        • but I got the 3P version with snow flaps

          After I got my 3P tent (the first iteration in 2016), the snow-flaps design came out and I wanted that.

          The next year, I got an Exped Venus or Orion tent (I can't remember the model name), and the vestibule space in that is great, but it's a heavier tent.

          I use the 3P NatureHike for summer camping but when it rains heavily, I get moisture build-up on the inside and rain leaking in, because there is not enough gap between the fly and inner, and also the fly does not go all the way to the ground either, and rain ricochets back into the tent.

    • +2

      Agree on both the single door and the vestibule comments. Not great in bad weather as rain gets in when you open the door. Mongar is a better option for convenience and also if you're planning on having two people.

      The headroom in the cloud up is very limited, have to sit in one specific spot otherwise head hits the sides and I'm not very tall. Mongar has space for two people to sit up inside.

      For a non budget option the durston xmid are much better, roomier and significantly lighter.

    • Any suggestions on what would be a good price for the 3p?

  • Im looking for a 3 person option for 3 kids (13, 10, 7). Is a 3p version of this going to be ok, or am I better of getting 2x 2p instead?

    • Are they going to be carrying 20km/day? ie do you really want a hiking tent?

      4-person dome tent might be ideal.

    • For 3 persons, you would need a tent with "capacity" for 4-persons, ie. look for a 4-dome tent.

    • Depends on your use case. For car camping over multiple days in the same spot, I would recommend a 4 person dome tent. Especially if you're doing beach/river camping as having a tent they can stand up in is better for changing clothes. Plus if it's raining, they can do activities inside the tent.

      If you're doing multi-day hiking, maybe a 3p hiking tent in a pinch if you're trying to lower carrying weight, but it's going to be tight sleeping room only in there. Bonus about having one bigger tent is that they can spread carrying weight between them.

      If you're looking to downsize packing size due to a small car, then maybe go two 2p tents for the kids. But you can get smaller packed sized dome tents from most adventure stores, BCF, etc. Just stick to a pole based tent vs instant pop-ups.

      • Thanks for the replies - we're trying to get our boys into overnight hiking/camping maybe up to 2 nights tops at this stage (we already do a lot of camping and have a couple of normal family tents etc). Want to keep the weight down as much as possible, but as others have said, we could always split the weight across their packs if they are carrying 1 tent for the 3 of them. Obviously my wife and I will also have a tend and be carrying that too.

  • Bit heavy, but acceptable at this price

  • +1

    I used the cloud up 2 to do an overnight hike in Mt Kosciuszko. Fit two people between 164-170cm and our 65L hike packs, but was a snug fit. I think I'll have trouble sleeping in this tent with my partner who is 193cm (have yet to try). If both persons are small it will be enough. Still no regrets as the tent is very light and easy to carry.

  • +5

    Love this tent as a one person bikepacker

    • That's what I got it for too.

      • I hope Naturehike make a short pole 12" with bikepacking bag to go between the handlebars.

        Want a Big Agnes Copper Spur Bikepacking 3 person for me and my partner to go on riding trips but at $900 on sale……ooof!

  • I was considering this for a while. The video on the listing shows two ppl laying down rather comfortably though; also asking from ppl who have this, does it need two ppl to set up?
    I'm a hiking enthusiast but new to camping (never camped before). Only done single (long) day hikes.
    Edit: I'm less than 170cm tall and all my hiking friends are around same.

    • +2

      Really easy to setup as one person, but I’m 180cm and I would say it’s comfy for me to be in the middle alone with room for a bag next to you or down near your feet. Would be uncomfortable with two people and bags but doable.

    • +1

      I am 184, 82kg and hiking with two people that are 170 and 172 respectively. They do share their tent and it’s a snug fit. I have my own tent as you’d feel every move of the other person.

      They’re ok with that, I rather carry the 1.7kg extra weight than share a tent this size.

      We all have NH Cloud.

    • +1

      Even with nicer brands, you want to get a bigger tent and it's not that much more of a weight increase. Just allows you to spread your stuff out a bit more and be less cramped. Easy to set up with one person too.

  • Would this be good for a tent for a toddler for days at the beach?

    • +2

      Nah, not really. There are better sun shades than that.

      • Without the fly on, there would be no sun protection. It's just flywire.
        With the fly on, it would get hot inside.

  • +4

    There are 3 versions of this tent made from 3 different grades of material, so affects the weight, pack size, and price. This is heaviest and cheapest version (also takes up slightly more space in a pack to the point it's easier to leave the poles and floor mat out), but still a great value tent. As the listing says it's around 1.7kg total.

    If you're looking for a bit lighter and small, there's a 1.5kg 20D version and a 1.3kg 10D version.

    They're all the same size internally. I have all 3 versions and find them great for 1 kid to sleep in while car camping, or use with a double sleeping mat with my partner while bikepacking. Mine have survived some serious winds and storms (using all the guy lines and tensioning them makes a big difference).

    As others have said getting out of the single door at the front can be annoying, and the vestibule at the front isn't very big, but enough for shoes and small bags.

    • +1

      What does the 10D compromise on? Waterproofness?

      • +4

        Yes.

        20D nylon is thicker and more durable than 10D nylon, which is lighter and more breathable. 10D nylon is a good choice for saving weight, while 20D nylon is better for applications requiring higher durability.

      • +1

        Get a thicker, more durable version, because over time, being exposed to the weather/elements, the material tends to delaminate as well.

        For waterproof-ness, check for waterhead ratings, eg. 3000mm? 5000mm?
        which is a measurement of how much 'rain pressure' is allowed, before rain-water will seep through.

        • +1

          Agree you need to be a little more gentle with the 10D but I've had mine for 3 years and found it very durable so far.

          • +1

            @Bogusjimmy: It's really a balance between material durability, weight of material, and cost to the wallet.

            Even if money is not a barrier, and you chose Dyneema material for your tent,
            ie. the Dyneema is 100% waterproof, very lightweight,…after some time of folding/refolding the material, and the material starts to disintegrate as well.

            So, there are lots of Pros & Cons over the camping materials:
            SilNylon or SilyPoly or Dyneema or Challenge SailCloth.

      • Yeah, the 10D does transfer some moisture to the inside if you touch it out, or don't tension the guy lines properly so the inner is touching the outer, but I've staying perfectly dry during nights of heavy rain.

    • Nice info. The weight of the one in the deal would be considered heavy for a 2-person tent, it’s not ideal when you’re doing decent distance on foot.

      Maybe a good starter but better off getting something as light as possible in your budget.

      • +2

        Yeah, I think hikers are a little more sensitive to weight than most bikepackers.

        This one is really good value. Doubt you'll find a better tent for the price.

  • +1

    Guys, how would this NH Cloud Up 2 compare to OZtrail Tasman Festival 2P offered for $42 at Tentworld ?
    2-person option weight seems to be similar, but what's experience with quality of Naturehike and OZTrail

    • I've got a Naturehike, and it's good quality for the price.

      A tent that retails for $42 in Australia isn't going to be good quality.

    • Cloudup > Oztrail for sure. Used to have an oztrail stargazer before getting this tent.

  • Hey @Clear, any possibility of Team OZB coming back for November? I see it's an automatic 5% when you join a team in my app.

    • +1

      Yep waiting for the link

  • can anyone recommend a sleeping mat for this?
