It’s a freestanding tent so before you stake the tent into the ground, it can be moved around, which came in handy on many occasions.

Double skin construction minimises condensation, while sturdy aluminium poles ensure structure that can cope with the harshest weather. This is an optional extra – sometimes quite a costly one – on most of the other tents we assessed and it’s good to see it included. The outer is made from 20D rip-stop nylon, making it durable and insulated enough for use all year round while weighing only 1. Although I didn’t get as much opportunity to travel as I’d hoped this year, I did take the Naturehike tent on my trip through Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in August, and the Fundy Adventure Rally Reunion in September.I’ve been doing more cold-weather camping recently and two adult winter sleeping bags won’t fit in the Cloud Up 2.

Construction - The construction could be better with a cross bar to strengthen its structure, but the lack of it only makes the living space too small. Storing a wet tent for as little as 24 hours in warm weather is also likely to start the process of mildew forming on the fabric. To be clear, I think they’ll last the natural life of the tent, but they don’t feel like they’d take much abuse, either.when you include the groundsheet it comes with which is definitely not ultralight but it was acceptable for me.

This NatureHike 2-person tent is ideal for backpackers and trekkers who need all-season capabilities in a lightweight package. Our updated Cloud-up 2 Tent professionally designed for everyone to enjoy backpacking, car camping and all other outdoor adventures can provide you all you need, wherever you travel and what environment you will encounter, even can stably survive in villainous weathers. My initial tent setup was performed in the dark, with a flashlight, so I guess you could say it’s pretty non-complicated.

We’ve picked a lot of faults with the Cloud UP in this review: we’re not too keen on some of the design choices, and the pitching process is not as straight forward as we think it could be. The ground sheet (aka footprint) that they recommend costs nearly half as much as the Naturehike CloudUp 2 and weighs 5oz. While I would have needed to pack a few more clothes for a longer trip, I was definitely well on my way towards trimming down my previously too-bulky camping setup.

Design with snow skirt: It can make the tent comfortable when hiking in winter since it makes the tent more windproof, snowproof and tearproof, therefore it strengthens tent's stability and safety. I would love to have a new tent and sleeping bag because I've done wore mine out and don't have the money to replace them. LIGHTWEIGHT: The Naturehike cloud up tent still maintains the ultralight weight that minimalist backpackers look for. When comparing the weights of these two tents, you’ve got to consider that the FlyCreek HV UL doesn’t come with a ground sheet (which you will need to use because of the thin floor).naturehike tent in the production of general requirements: 210T, 15D waterproof performance is roughly 2000-3000mm; 20D waterproof performance is roughly 3000-4000mm, slightly better and 210T material.
