Lightweight tent recommendations?

I was impressed with this when I tried it last year. It felt slightly more roomy at either end compared to the hilleberg equivalents, much lighter material than the hillebergs too but apparently self heals small holes.

self heals? that's interesting...
edit: as in i'm gonnae check it out.

This might not be true, or it might be a different tent... I can't remember.

self heals

Is 1050 grams considered light? Very happy with my VAUDE Power Lizard 1-2P (lol @ 2P):

Yes, it's very poorly set up in this photo. But that's my fault. :-)

+ Lightweight;
+ Simple design;
+ Got through some pretty nasty weather;
+ Perfect for 1 person.

- Little hard to set up perfectly (even after doing it 20 times).

Anyone want a Gelert Solo: Gone

Anyone have a bivvy bag they don't mind lending for a short trip next week?

ya

Picked up a Therm-a-Rest Neoair Trekker today, when the local outdoor shop had 40% off. The 3/4 length version. Pack size is great - about the size of a 750ml bidon. The bag/holster thing is too big, but since it doesn't need compression, it's not much of an issue.
The top surface is quite slippery and stains easily (I'm camping with my son atm and within 5 minutes of inflating, it looked shit. And it sounds like I'm humping a squeaky toy, whenever I shift my weight. Other than that, it seems like a good purchase...

Cheapo lightweight 2 man (or 1 man 1 woman) tents.

Yellowstone at £30, 1.9kg

or

Naturehike at £65, 1.5kg (without pegs, which seems a bit cheeky)

I had the jack wolfskin version of the naturehike. It was a pig to pitch well. The reviews talk about an alteration to the tent walls, and from memory the walls did hang into the tent quite a lot. I probably wouldn't pay that amount of money for it again. It has a very distinctive shape when pitched and looks impressive, wrinkles, uneven tensioning and floppy tent walls aside. Also the flysheet door flopped into the porch in a way which made it harder to cook in the porch.

Sorry, just re-read this thread. Were you asking, or suggesting?

without pegs

?

They come with pegs.

Weight is without pegs though.

Velocio, was that the Taunton leisure tent show ?

Been to that a couple of times usually costly :)

I rate my naturehike as a 1 man, had no problems with it so far. Walls do sag in as mentioned, so is quite cosy with 1 man 1 woman, and kit has to go in porch. I guess for lightness, the inner is largely mesh, as is the inner door, so can feel the breeze sometimes. And at 6'2 it is just long enough.

Sorry misread.

The grey one is ~250g lighter which compensates somewhat.

How does that work then?

Edit - oh, better/lighter materials. Hmm.

Got the grey one off Aliexpress for about £65. It is light. They also supply the footprint so you can pitch without the fly, which I thought was very nice of them. The pegs provided are pretty light, but I guess they quote without pegs as you could go and get some uber light titanium ones if you're that bothered.

All in all, very pleased for the price. Yet to test in any serious wind or rain though so will reserve judgement on that side. Got the two man but it's perfect for 1 with stuff. 2 would be cosy and the porch is not large.

• for nature hike tents, really like mine
  

Planning a night camping in a few weeks. I've got an old 3 man tent but its a bit shit and overkill when I only need a one man.

Unlikely to use it more than once or twice a year at most.

Any recommendations. Needs be light(ish) but also able to accommodate me (I'm 6'6"). Will be carrying on bike (so probably strapping to the toptube)

This Yellowstone one man from @umop3pisdn 's link seems to be about right:

The backpack version is a tad lighter but doesn't seem as good:

Even this isn't too heavy and is ludicrously cheap.

No mention of internal space though.

Any other suggestions?

Any other suggestions?

Not quite a tent but rig3.5 (& lines & pegs) plus hunka xl both from alpkit?

Of those three, the Yellowstone one man is the best, but the bright orange one would be super hard-core as long as you can cope with how small it is and the fact it might break very quickly. Measure the internal size on the floor yo get an idea.

Finally, go to the Argos. Tesco, Asda superstores and the like. They are selling off their tents atm. Easier to replace or return if it's not what you want. Last time I needed a small tent I nipped into tesco and bought the cheapest one they had. They were so cheap that a few months later I bought an even cheaper one from there, just because.

In my experience, all tents at that price point are fine if you know what you are doing and can cope with it not being perfect and letting in a bit of rain.

Being out there is what matters. Have fun.

My mate and I just did two nights on the ridgeway. He used this. £15 from Tesco. The only problem was that he had to have the mat diagonally. 1.4kg.
