Reddit reviews Naturehike 2 Person Outdoor Tent Double-layer Tent Waterproof Camping Tent Lightweight Tent(Gray(20D Silicone Fabric)

Nature Hike Cloudup 2. Get the white/grey rainfly version as it is lighter. If you leave the footprint and bags behind it weighs about 6-8 ounces more than the Big Agnes Flycreek UL 2. It is a flycreek knock off. You can find it on Amazon, ebay, and aliexpress.

Here ya go!

Just get this tent and save tons of money...

I had the Fly Creek UL2 Platinum, and promptly returned it. Too flimsy, too thin and I felt like I had to pamper it or I'd rip it.

Bought the Natureike tent (the packaging shows it listed as "Naturehike Cloud 2P"), and couldn't be happier, especially with the money saved.

It's a copy of the fly creek ul2, albeit it weighs in at a back-breaking 3oz more (the grey/silver one, not the yellow or green ones, they are a heaver fabric).

EDIT: Just realized you are looking for the UL1, not the UL2.

I have the same tent and it has served me very well on many backpacking trips for nearly a decade. If you do decide to look into a a lighter option, I found an off brand one on Amazon for crazy cheap. I was super skeptical (there were virtually no reviews when I bought it so all i had to go off was a youtube review and maybe one from Amazon) but I decided to take the gamble and it is actually a really solid and lightweight tent. I've taken it on about a half dozen trips now and its held up. I dont expect it to last as long as a high end tent but it has so far surpassed my expectations!

If you don't need it to be freestanding, this Naturehike tent weighs in at 1.5kg and is pretty solidly constructed. You can find it cheaper on places like Aliexpress, but you need to make sure to get the 20D white version. It's pretty much a direct replica of a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2. You can find quite a few reviews of it on youtube. I own it myself and find that it's more than adequate for one person, and would be a bit tight for 2, but serviceable.

If you don't wanna deal with direct from China manufacturers—while much heavier—you could probably find an Alps Mountaineering tent around 4lbs.

Hey mate,

As I said in your other thread, I personally have the NatureHike tent and have been nothing but impressed with it. The best way to decide about these things is always to have a look at reviews of the tents by people who know their stuff, and to look at youtube reviews of people who've used them a lot.

For the Alps Lynx, this video gives a nice overview of how it stands up to rain, and shows how much space there is inside once you're in it. A lot of people rate it really well on amazon too. The obvious disadvantages are the space and the weight. If weight and space aren't a major consideration to you, people seem to rate this well and if you have any issues with it getting customer service / returning will be much easier.

The Naturehike that I bought, I watched a fair few reviews / videos before I finally make the decision to buy it. I personally can't say what it would be like in the wind but this video shows how it stands up to fairly strong winds. This video is a pretty long 30 minute review showing how it's put up and talks about various aspects of the tent. Personally I think the tent is more than worth the money when you consider the advantages - those being the reduced weight & more space. However, it still can be considered a risk as you're getting it from China and classically the customer service is terrible and trying to return it if there were any issues could cause real headaches.

Personally, I think if they were both available from reputable US sellers there'd be no question about which you should get. You can get the more expensive grey tent from amazon (shipment and purchase fulfilled by amazon, so customer service is through amazon too), for slightly more expensive that you could get it on AliExpress -$111. This probably reflecting the peace of mind. The cheaper green and orange ones you can also get there but they're even more expensive for some reason.

All this being said, however, I bought the tent as a risk, and it was a risk I was willing to take. If it turned out to be a dud it wasn't going to be the end of the world (I have a few other tents but the Naturehike was better in terms of advertised specs so I just went for it). If this is going to be your one and only tent, and you don't have the money to consider the risk (and so be stuck with a defective product / have to go through the motions of returning before you can get yourself a new one), my advice would be get the more reliable Alps for now. What you lose in lightness and space, you gain in peace of mind that the product will function well for what you want it to do. It'll serve you well for at least a few years, by which point you might think about upgrading and will be able to spend a bit more on a tent.

I know how agonizing these sorts of decisions can be. Just make sure you make the right decision for you right now - no one here wants you to get a piece of kit you're gonna be unhappy with and so will stop you from enjoying the outdoors as much as you can. Let us know what you end up getting.
