    £30 and you can get 3 x 9.5mm or 10mm poles which make a massive difference if you are using it in full winter and shorten or replace the bungee for the rain cowl and that tightens it up amazingly. I also wrap the guys around the poles on my tents like this. Great video and well pitched by the way, one of only a few who didnt make a dogs dinner of pitching it 😂

    You made up my mind. It was this, the Vango Mirage or the Onetigris Cosmitto, which is a really great looking tent but not 4 seasons. Obviously I went for the most expensive one, but the best value for the spec I think. I’m going to create an extension to the lid as a rain cover. I think a butchered tarp to build an extra 10” of cover with Velcro’d straps sewn in to attach to the poles should do the trick. Great channel. Thank you.

    Great review , I have one ordered and am hoping to get out as soon as lockdown is lifted , I have the Naturehike Cloud Up 2 with snow skirts and it performed admirably at -3° , the Cloud Peak seems quite a bit bigger and more sturdy - time will tell though . Thanks for this review 😎👍

    Thanks for the review. Just got mine. Had the same idea as you with the top cover; just attach one point to avoid losing it, having it blow away or getting the orientation wrong in the dark. Also would have loved it if they had copied the pole sleeves from the Hilleberg, I guess I'm spoiled with the Soulo but having the poles not fall over is very pleasing. I know you can just clip them but still... My other concern re 4 season use was just the clearance between the bottom of the fly and the ground. But I guess time will tell. It is some tent for the prices though.
  • I wouldn't take this up in a mountain. But a great tent. I can't Offord the hilliberg Allak 2. thank you for your honest first look review.

    one of the nicest reviews i've watched on this tent. good job. would be interested in your views now 3.5 years on :)
  • Big Nature hike fan . I think most of their offerings are total value for money.. The Opalus 3 and Hiby 3 are defo the market winners... . competing with Hilleburg at a 6th of the price...Vango come a close 2nd... Geer Top and Hillman , also worthy of a mention..

    Mine has just arrived. Great quality, i am going to alter the guy ropes and add a fixed point to the hood. Should be a great 3 season tent.
  • Greetings from good old Canberra! 🇦🇺 Great video, very comprehensive. Those vestibules make the size of the tent a little deceptive. Overhead clearance is more important to me than width, tho. For a claustrophobe who still needs to find a lightweight hiking tent that works for her 172cm (& skinny) frame, would you recommend this 1 over the Mongar? I'm not interested in the Cloud Up designs, or anything similar, because of the asymmetry.

    I like the look of this one! As a step up into a really weather-capable tent, I seriously like it. That extra thing on top is pleasing to see. And I don't care if it is yet another Chinese rip off - they should simply pay a small fee. At 2.5kg with footprint, that is the same weight as my original, beloved $80 AUD Aldi hiking tent but this thing has a third pole and much more weather ability including staying pretty dry when you've allowed for plenty of ventilation... nice! No tents aside from the new REI plus sizes really fit big people comfortably without going up a size, but with those vestibules etc, this one could be my first 4 season tent. I get the ventilation concern but I reckon it's cured in truly cold weather by the right sleep system, beanies etc. I carry a balaclava in the cold stuff that I've worn maybe twice - it's mainly just in case. I'd prefer a slight weight penalty and zip-up windows on the inner but this arrangement makes sense for the one tent for all latitudes and altitudes in the normal range. Pretty keen on this one! Cheers.

    I see people bend their Naturehike pegs all the time. Almost always they press them in with the foot. I have a small bit of leather (keyring) and press them in with my hand. My Naturehike (Cloud-Up 2) still has the same pegs of 3 years ago, not one has bent or even slightly bent. And I camp on rocky Scottish mountains.
  • @manu.yt25
    Thanks, that was interesting, I was ready to buy it but didn't realised that it would have so much mesh and have large air circulation....
  • Good review, thank you. It’s a shame they put in that much mesh without having zip panels to regulate yourself. But I guess it comes down to cost and weight.
  • @jasonlaverty76
    Excellent review. Just spent a very wet night in the garden (Virus lock-down, so garden camping only) in my old Wild Country Trisar which leaked like a sieve! Please could you shed some information as to where you purchased this.
  • @darthkek1953
    5:47 to 7:47 exactly two minutes, okay the stakes to go in (6 corner, 6 wind, 4 optional midpoints) but still how many tents genuinely go up in two real minutes not "it only takes me two minutes" yet never seems to TIME that way?
  • @gferguson73
