Night Cat Upgraded Backpacking Tents 1 2 Persons Easy Clip Setup Camping Tent Adults Scouts Heavy Rainproof Compact

This inexpensive tent will exceed your expectations. It is well designed and well crafted with an extended tub bottom, good solid zippers, very easy set up and take down and an overall well balanced weight vs size ratio. No, it is not a top of the line REI tent for 4 seasons including your jaunt to Everest and Patagonia. This is for casual camping use - too heavy for significant backpacking - but light enough and compact enough to toss in the trunk and away you go. Note that this is a one person tent unless you and your companion are really diminutive The set up is intuitive and takes only a few minutes but be sure to get a ground sheet to place underneath. It is stable even without guy wires but if there's wing, tie it down. No gaps on the zippers so bugs cannot get in easily. In terms of value for money, this one is a winner. Read more

I needed a tent to go camping. I had a 6 person tent from a major brand that had one of the tent pole supports break and it was a very large tent for only a single person. Enter this Night Cat. Unpacking was super easy. Unwrap all the tent poles and rubber bands. Lay the tent out. Assemble the main poles and form an X. Insert the poles into the fasteners at the bottom. Start securing the lower clasps onto the poles and once at the top, tie the ceiling to the axis of the cross poles. Assemble the rain fly poles and insert into their holders. Secure the rain fly using the clasps. Voila. Done. Easy breezy. This tent has some really cool features. IF you have a large battery bank on wheels you have a passthrough for a cord. The windows has some really good mesh for keeping the bugs out and letting fresh air in. There is a hook at the ceiling for a lamp or small led light source. Sleeping on the ground with a memory foam cot sized ground pad feels spacious and enough space around to lay down cell phones, wallet, keys and water you have in your pockets. Not much storage space so be mindful of what you want to keep inside. At 5'9" this is perfect for me. Anyone taller is going to be cozy with the walls. To me it seems like it will fit a standard cot but not an extended cot. Cons: The rain fly does not come down the front entrance or back window far enough. If it is raining with a sideways wind I can see water ingress through the roof a possibility. At that point a tarp put over the tent and secured to the ground will help immensely and help buffet the wind. That is more weight and space so a luxury for car campers. For solo adventurers it may be a con that puts this out of competition. In conclusion there is a lot of value in this tent. It may only last a season or two but it works and it is lightweight enough. Update: Out in the wild this tent showed that it really is a 3 season tent. In Winter when temps drop you will need a 0F sleeping bag or quilt. As well as some insulating wool. It kept the wind off of me during 35 mph gusts. It has a lot of ventilation for a single person tent. I like how simple it is to setup and the included cord helped when securing the tent for the wind. I like the high tub line, it helps keep dirt out. If I had to choose again I would go for a double layer tent. Or drape a lightweight tarp over to help insulate. Read more

Bought this tent for packing up small and being lightweight and ample headroom. It worked out great. Set up quickly, rainfly worked out perfectly (I wasn't sure), and the tent was waterproof. Found out the waterproof ability because it rained pretty good all night this last trip...water was even going under the tent (even though I had a footprint and we had trenches dug around the tent) and no water seeped inside....I was impressed. I am a little over 6'1", and about 220.......I had plenty of room inside. I even had my dog sleep in there with. me he is 75 pounds. But....would have been nice to maybe have another 6 inches for length and certainly 6 more for width, but I knew the measurements when buying and I actually thought I had plenty of room. And I was able to change and add clothing sitting up, plenty of head room. Overall happy with the tent and the price etc... Read more

This tent is a perfect beginner/short trip backpacking or camping tent. It never rained so I didn’t get to test how waterproof the rain fly or material was, but unless you’re in torrential downpour I don’t see rain getting under the rainfly or seeping through material if you use a cheap can of waterproofing spray. I used it for a quick 2 day trip , and had no issues except for the fact that the stakes are not durable . The ground was moderately tough , and using a mallet bent and ruined nearly all of my stakes so I’d definitely recommend to get some thicker and stronger stakes for this tent . Inside the tent was perfect amount of space for 2 layers of sleeping mats , my 40L backpack , 2 shoes and small cooler and that’s with extra room leftover for even more gear. I’d say for the value , the weight , and the space you get it’s very worth it . Just bring stronger stakes ! Read more

Easy to set up. Very compact when rolled up. I needed a very compact and affordable tent for a trip. This worked out great. It is more than big enough for a single person, and could pretty easily sleep 2. Quick and easy to set up and tear down, and absolutely tiny when stowed. No issues with quality. Stayed dry in the rain. What more can I say? It was great. Read more

Nice tent, although I returned it because I thought it had mesh or door on the other side for better ventilation, otherwise it looks well built, I would have kept it if it had mesh on the opposite side of the entrance with a rain flap on the out side, simple yet effective on hot days, something they should think about, I almost was going to do it my self Read more

I’ve been using this tent for several weeks now. I overstressed one of the fiberglasspoles and broke it. :(. It is very easy to set up and take down. There are no pockets on the interior to put any of your stuff. But the tent is priced right so you do get what you pay for. I added aluminum poles instead of the fiberglass so now it’s lighter. Overall, it’s a good tent. Read more
