2-Person Trekking Pole Tent for Backpacking - Ultralight A-Frame Backpacking Tent, Two Person Waterproof Hiking Tent for Camping, Lightweight Camping Tent for Scouts, Trekker (No Poles)

I spent days trying to find an affordable, lightweight tent for backpacking. Unless you shell out $300+ you're not going to find anything. That is, unless you're fortunate enough to stumble onto this little bad boy. This thing is high value. As the picture shows, it'll comfortably fit two. I actually did two trips with myself and two kids (that's three). We had to lay sideways, but it wasn't too bad. The design is simply outstanding: great stitching, quality material, well thought-out zippers. The pegs are a nice, lightweight aluminum. It takes 5 or 6 minutes to setup and is lightweight enough to take backpacking. We did a 10-miler with this very comfortably. What's the catch? There really isn't one. Basically, it just doesn't have a frame. It uses a long paracord-type string that you can either (1) connect to two trees either side of the tent with a truckers hitch knot (kind of like setting up a hammock), or (2) you just place your hiking poles or a sturdy stick you find laying on the ground on either entrance to the tent. When you stabilize the sticks by pegging down your guide rope, this thing is as sturdy as any $300-500 REI special. Because it's so simple, there's less that can break. I'm thinking of switching out all my tents for two or three of these. If you're backpacking or just tent camping at a campsite, this will serve you very very well.

Very nice light weight tent. Easy to carry and very easy to assemble. Nice size for 2 ppl. Ventilation on both ends. We covered with a tarp for extra protection in heavy rain but felt it had good protection from the elements.

This trekking pole tent was easy to set up and has worked well overall. On my first use, I made the mistake of letting my dogs sleep in the tent with me, which led to a lot of condensation inside—likely from the extra moisture overnight. On subsequent trips, I made sure to use a rain guard, and that made a big difference. For the price, this is a great tent: lightweight, easy to carry, and well suited for overnight hiking or backpacking trips.

This tent seems to be a great value! I needed a tent for a recent backpacking trip, and this could be delivered the next day for less than a quarter of the price of other tents. I wasn’t expecting much, but this tent performed great! It was easy to setup, it shed the light rain that happened, and it kept the mosquitoes out! It was light weight which was good for backpacking. It did require two trekking poles for the main supports, but they were part of my pack already! My only initial concern was the smell of the tent when I first received it. It smelled like fish to me. But after a few hours set up, the smell was gone. All in all, a good tent!

Tent assembles nicely, it's lightweight (but not as much as I thought it would). The big problem is that it's not waterproof. I went camping to a beach campground and the morning mist, which was not that much, got inside the tent. This tent WILL NOT work with light rain. I'm returning this item because even thought it was super comfy for me (one person), and I believe it would be able to hold two relatively small people like myself (I'm 5.4") it does not serve the purpose I was looking for. Also, it was hot during the day, and inside the tent was SO difficult to breathe even though I had both sides opened and just the net closed to avoid getting too many bugs inside.

I sprayed it with waterproofing before trying it out. It was fine but I did wake up with some water along the seams of the floor. Came with a hole so I patched it right away. Easy to set up. Held up to some incredible winds coming off the lake during a mountain storm. It’s long but feels narrow especially since the sides do sag in. All in all it worked for me and my dog and was an inexpensive, lightweight option when I didn’t want to bring a bigger tent and hammock wasn’t an option.

I was so impressed by this tent I decided to leave a product review for the first time in my 10+ years of buying off amazon. My wife and I backpacked up a mountain and this tent held up through a wind storm at over 9000 feet in an open meadow. On top of that it's extremely light weight and the fact that it uses trekking poles allows us to spare even more weight and room in the packs. It was a quick and easy setup and breakdown. It rolls right up and fits back in the bag without any struggle. The inside was spacious enough for my wife and I, plus all our stuff, to fit comfortably. I really can't believe how great this thing is for being the literal cheapest 2 person tent on the market. There are only 2 cons I found: 1) It was very loud. We had to prop our shoes up on the door flies to keep them from rustling around all night. However, it should be considered that we were in some pretty extreme winds in an open area. 2) Lots of condensation build up in the morning. Not a huge deal and to be expected with any single wall tent when the temps outside drop. We turned it inside out and laid it in the sun to dry when we got home. By no means a deal-breaker but just something to consider if you're camping in the cold. Overall the cons are nothing compared to the pros, I remain VERY impressed with this tent.

Ok so this thing works exactly as it's supposed to. I wouldn't call it "2-person", more like "1.5 person".. I'm 6', 180-ish pounds and it's just big enough for me to have ample space on my own, but it would likely be cramped with anyone else. It's lightweight, but not ultralight, in case that's a concern. But it's definitely lighter than any of my other 2-person tents. I haven't taken it out yet to test it's waterproofing, but it seems like it would hold up well in normal rain. Takes about 3 minutes to set up, and take down isn't a total pain like some tents. My biggest and immediate issue is that it stinks. Bad. It smells like spray paint and fish, and it's nauseating. Also, for those talking about how it shakes too much in the wind, get a couple small pebbles, place on the inside of the tent and tie the tent around them to make a contact point for a guyline (pics added). Took me about 10 minutes to do it and it adds no extra weight and pulls the sides taught enough to prevent extreme shaking during windy days. No, you wouldn't have to do this for an ultralight tent, but you get what you pay for. Worth the buy, can't wait to try.
