Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 5/10How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
Naturehike gives a minimum weight of about 1.76 kg (packed weight 1.93 kg, which is the figure Decathlon prints), in the 1.5-1.99 kg band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 8/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.
Naturehike gives a 3,000 mm+ PU fly and a 5,000 mm+ PU floor. The fly is in the 3,000 mm+ band and the floor is over 2,000 mm, so nothing is taken off. The printed figure alone gives 8 at most: a 9 or 10 needs 3 reviews that say it stays dry in real storms.
Wind
Estimate from maker's specs: maker's season rating (fewer than 3 reviews about wind) 5/10How steady it stays in strong wind on open ground. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
No published review says how it copes with wind, so this is an estimate from the maker's season rating.
Space
From maker's figures 7/10Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 7: Better than most.
Naturehike gives the inner as about 210 x 130 cm: 2.1 x 1.3 = 2.73 m2 (its own table labels 2.73 as m3, so we read it as a rectangle), so 1.365 m2 each, in the 1.35-1.59 band, right at the edge. The dome walls slope, so the real floor may be a little smaller.
Packed size
From maker's figures 8/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 8: Clearly better than most.
Packs to 13 cm across x 40 cm long: 3.1416 x 6.5 x 6.5 x 40 = 5,309 cm3, so 5.31 L, in the 4-6.9 L band.
In short
Good for
- Two people on a small budget who want a freestanding 3-season tent under 2 kg
- Summer and early autumn trips and short walking trips
Strengths
- Fly 3,000 mm+ and floor 5,000 mm+ HH, seams sealed
- Packs to 40 x 13 cm (5.3 L)
- Single one-piece aluminium pole set, quick to pitch (Naturehike)
- Upgraded larger and taller front door and a large vestibule (Naturehike's product photos)
Weaknesses
- Naturehike shows one front door and one vestibule, so one sleeper climbs over the other
- PU-coated 210T polyester, heavier and less durable than the silicone nylon of pricier tents
- Inner floor is at the edge of its space band
- No independent test of this version found, so wind, pitching and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Many online reviews are of the older 20D nylon Cloud Up 2, which has different fabrics and weight
- Naturehike's page gives the inner area in m3 although the figure matches a floor area
