You won’t have a lot of elbow room, so choose your tent buddy carefully if you’re going to be sharing.

An even bigger version of the Cloud Up 2, the Cloud Up 3 is the first version of this tent that I would recommend for two people sharing. It has only a single door and vestibule but the additional floor space means that you can bring some of your kit into the tent with you.

Read More Of course, this is an entry-level tent and should not be treated like an expedition tent that costs 10 times the price. You can limit tears by choosing a camping spot without sharp pebbles or plants on the ground. (You’ll get a better night’s sleep, too!)Also, avoid pitching during a windy time of day when the tent is more likely to flap around and catch on something. Ease of Set-Up Another quite useful feature is the overhead gear loft, where you can store a torch or a battery-powered fan. The rainfly is coated only to 2000mm, which is half the water-resistance of the Taga 2. The Vik 1 is lighter than the Taga 2, though, and is a much better option for a solo camper. The rainfly is available in 3 versions: 210T (lower quality, heavier), 20D, and 20D with an additional skirt. The floor though is always a weaker 150D PU3000, so bottom leaks and tears are a possibility if the tent is not used carefully. I have a Cloud-Up 2. The condensation issues might exist in the snow skirt version, but I don't see why the standard version would be any worse than most other tents. Plenty of room for one person, a dog, and a huge amount of kit. A mansion for 1, a dungeon for 2. If most of the time it's only you it's a valid option.

What’s unique about Naturehike is that the company’s tents offer an outstanding balance between price and quality. They aren’t the cheapest tents on the market but they are considerably more waterproof, more windproof, and lighter than their competitors.The base price and weight of the Naturehike Star River are a little higher than that of the Cloud Up, which seems to be its closest analog. The main thing you seem to be getting for that trade-off is 2 entrances and 2 vestibules, along with slightly more stability and weatherproofing. If you’re camping with a buddy and want to split the weight between you, then the extra few hundred grams is probably a non-issue anyway. With two doors and two vestibules, that’s a pretty ventilated and spacious tent, a 110cm headroom is more than its colleagues, and the walls are pretty verticle for a less cramped feel – this is a 2-person tent that could actually be used by two people for an extended period of time without getting to hate each other. Typically, people say the comfort and dimensions are very good for its weight. The two doors and two vestibules make camping a lot easier, and users report staying warm and dry in foul weather. While it’s slightly more expensive than some of Naturehike’s other tents, the Star River 2 is still a great value for what you pay.
