Naturehike Cloud-up 1 Ultralight Camping Tent for 1 Person - Waterproof Double Layer Backpacking Tent 4 Seasons

Product Information

This storage space is essential if you’re going to be using the tent with three people. It also provides a sheltered area where you can prepare meals if the weather is foul.

The Cloud Up performs well in the wind, too. A combination of a strong frame, low peak height, and half-dome design will keep it standing if bad weather rolls in.With 4000mm+ of water resistance and 50+ UV protection, this tent will take good care of you in the summer as well as the wet and windy months. For the price, I have yet to find a better two-person tent for the great outdoors. The tents that Naturehike produces are near copies of higher-end brands; however, Naturehike uses cheaper materials and a faster manufacturing process to cut down on costs.

The newer version of the Cloud Up 2 tent has a vent to help reduce condensation. My older version does not have this vent. Despite this, condensation isn’t too bad of an issue in the tent because there is a sizable gap between the fly and inner tent. When it comes to weight, price and quality, you really can’t do much better than the Naturehike Cloud Up 2. However, the tent is definitely cramped inside. If you want something roomier but which is still this light, then get the Cloud Up 3P– or be prepared to spend a lot more. 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. This is a fantastic tent for two people who want to hit the trails, and it’s much more comfortable than most affordable tents of the same weight. Taller people will have enough space to spread out, which makes for a nice change!That said, you have to bear in mind that low-budget gear won’t be the best for extreme conditions, and it’s not reasonable to expect it to perform as well as top-of-the-range expedition gear. The only downside I can see is the relatively limited gear storage space. Although the Cloud Up 1 is also a little heavier than some of the other tents we have reviewed, it should be kept in mind that it’s both double-skinned and also freestanding. Taking that into account, both the weight and price of this thing are actually quite impressive. The seams are not sealed, which can increase the risk of leaking in extended lousy weather. This is a shame in a tent of this price but due to the exceptional design, I’d still recommend it for cyclists.

Here’s an in-depth look at how the Naturehike Cloud Up 1 performs in the real world. Waterproofing & Wind-ResistanceThe bathtub-style floor will help prevent water from seeping up from the ground, and the included rainfly will prevent your tent floor from scratching or wearing thin. I would also prefer to hike with a lighter tent than this one, but I can’t reasonably complain about the weight considering the quality of the materials and the price. Pros & Cons Pros: The video below shows the Naturehike Cloud Up 2 in really high winds. It’s not my video, but it gives you a good idea. WATERPROOF & WINDPROOF - This tent is one tough cookie with a waterproof rating of 4000MM thanks to its Silicone Nylon fabric and seam taping. The Silicone Nylon construction also makes this tent ideal for snow trekking as the slipperier material allows snow to slide straight off!

The 7001 series aluminum poles are rugged enough for most of the conditions you’re likely to face, and the tent’s 20D ripstop nylon fabric is highly tear-resistant. If you want to get a version of the Cloud 1 with an extra vent for increased airflow and reduced condensation, you can opt for the upgraded version.

Verdict?

The only annoying thing about the Cloud Up 2 in bad weather is the noise. Because of the pole structure, a lot of the rain fly isn’t attached to anything. It will flap around a lot in the wind.
