Now that everyone is copying the Big Agnes, I can feel better about buying a Naturehike Cloud Up several years ago.
-
Sounds like a great tent. Would love to hear your thoughts on budget oriented tents as well for those of us just getting into bikepacking. Keep up the great content!
-
You should do a video on bike packing for paraplegics to encourage exclusivity
-
Love my Nemo Dragonfly Osmo so far. Not super light, but seemed like a good compromise of design features for my needs.
-
Love this channel. Thanks for your frankness and layman's terms explanations. However, it would be nice to see some $200 tents reviewed... for those of us who don't bikepack that frequently and/or are on a tighter budget. The Sierra Clip Flashlight II or equivalent comes to mind. And if you've already done such vids in the past, please direct me. Thanks.

Love my Durston Xmid 1p. Sets up quick and the inner stays dry while pitching in the rain.
-
Always confused by the use of sil-nylon versus sil-poly, they are nearly the same cost and weight. Nylon sags in the wet while polyester doesn't. Seems like a simple change that could make this tent much better.
-
I have the 2 person version. It is a great tent, roomy for the weight and packs up small. The two person isn't much heavier than the 1 person. Not sure what the spec sheet says but my kitchen scale put the tent without the poles at a little over a pound. I agree that the loops in the front pole setup are odd, why not use the same hook system? I always forget about it too, minor annoyance. I guess I wish it came in a light green color? Honestly its hard to improve on for the cost.
-
Noting you've spelled 'Mountain Hardwear' incorrectly as 'Mountain Hardware' in the title and the description.
-
Was your fly seam sealed? Mine wasn't and while it managed to keep our rain for a few hours, eventually the intersection of the three seams at the intersection point of the poles started to let water through. Not ideal as this is just above where your head is. I ended up sealing the seams myself and this should resolve any leaking problems.

A little small for my liking, but I'm large, thanks Neil

Hi im 7ft tall which tent is good for me?
-
As a Brit where it rains a lot 😢 It would be helpful to know how easy it is to put up in the rain - as an inner first assembly? Great reviews - love seeing the USA outdoors at it’s best! JohnW
-
Tents with end doors (as opposed to side doors) are a no for me.
-
Looks pretty respectable for the $
-
Seems like a tough sell over the fly creek.
-
What pants are you wearing? Looks like baffled down pant. Thx.
-
Not normal price , naturehike yesssas
-
Went on a 4600km Bikepacking trip with a 30 Euro tent from Decathlon. Its beyond me how anyone would justify a 400$ tent....
