High Peak Minipack 2 Man Tent

I bought this tent because I needed a light and small tent to fit on the back of a bike for a bike trip in France. This tent is fantastic and definitely worth the money if you are willing to considering the following warnings:This tent will NOT withstand 80mph winds. I know this because we actually got stuck in a "hurricane" and the winds were actually recorded at 80mph! The tent did blow down, however, it was probably slightly due to our lackluster tent pegging.The structure of the tent is purely held up by tension from the tent pegs- there are only two rods for either end of the tent to give it some lift, the rest is string and pegs- if you know you will be pitching your tent on harder ground, get something with more structure, or bring a mallet.The tent is surprisingly quite water resistant, BUT (!!), even if it is a dry night, you will get a bit damp because the condensation (like in any tent) sticks to the inside of the tent, and then rains back down on you. If there is a chance for torrential rain, buy an extra fly sheet, or pitch under a very dense tree. We experienced one heavy rainstorm which the tent did very well in, but then the next night in the "hurricane"...well we got flooded and blown over.If you can get over these warnings, then you're golden, this is a great little tent. Plenty of space for two people, and some luggage. And the bottom sheet is totally waterproof so don't worry about pitching on damp ground. Very easy to pitch, takes less than 5 minutes. This tent is a real trooper!

I very rarely make a review but this tent is very much worth the money you pay for it it's not provided with a waterproof cover I'm just going to buy a tarp and fashion it into a rudimentary roof, I spent last night in it and it was heavy rain for a good portion of the night there was a bit of water and the inside of the canvas was wet so highly advise on the tarp if your buying on a budget but all in all good tent it's got a nice shape only took 5 minutes to put up though I have high experience using tents so for ya average joe it may take 15-20 mins max.

This product is great for anyone looking for a very small, easy to put up tent, who uses it for the odd night.It does require very flat ground to be perfectly set up, but will go pretty much anywhere. It has (just) enough room for an airbed, if you don't mind the edges getting a bit damp and the way the doors are organised is great if you want relatively easy access. waterproofing is good which it had to be for the first night that I used it!the down sides are that die to the way the poles are organised, you can occasionally struggle with getting out.It has not porch which is probably the biggest downsize - it does mean that shoes have to go with in with you, or out in the wet and though marketed as a 2 man, it is more a 1 and a half man - great for 1 person + kit, but you would have to like your camping partner a lot to stay in hereoverall, a good tent. some space issues and would be masses better with a porch if the design would allow it. for the price and size when packed away - you could probably have 2.Though it is a great tent, especially for a heathen like me who usually uses icelandics, I would not buy another one of these, mainly due to the space.hope this small essay is somewhat useful! :P

The tent arrived perfectly on time and in perfect condition. It is light weight and comes wrapped up in a small bag which makes carrying it easy. It can also fit inside a decent sized bag with ease.The instructions for setting up the tent were unclear with no diagrams as examples, other than an image of the tent when completed. This made setting the tent up more confusing than it should have been and I ended up discarding the instructions, setting the tent up without them.Once set up I was a little disappointed by the size of the tent which was described as a two man tent. It could fit two people in but they would have to be small and cramped. There is also very little head room in the tent and you will be unable to sit up straight if you are a similar height to me or taller (5'8'').The tent is also surprisingly NOT waterproof as I uncomfortably discovered one morning after a night of rain. The rain dripped through the fabric of the roof and built up in puddles on the (waterproof) plastic floor. This completely baffles me why one part of the tent would be made waterproof and not the other. The moisture that builds up in the tent also finds it difficult to escape due to poor ventilation.However the tent does a remarkable job at retaining heat. Each morning I woke up incredibly warm due to sauna-like moisture and heat conditions.All in all I would not recommend this product, especially not for the asking price. You will find a much more spacious, WATERPROOF tent for a much lower price easily.

First of all compromising is a must when you choose a tent by weight: this one, being under 2kg of weight, has no double layer and it is not big!Also for people not accustomed with camping, you need to be aware that this shape of tent is kept in place by two vertical poles and this feature limits the easiness in going in and out, it could be a problem if you are big or very tall.Also it is a bit more complicated to setup if you are a beginner and alone compared to an igloo shape one.Despite being single layer, it survived well a night of decent rain, but you will have condensation inside when you keep everything shut, the little ventilation system seems not being enough.My suggestion is to add a taurpaulin to it, I used one to setup a little porch in front of it using walking poles and one of the vertical poles, and if you buy one of the right size you can make it working as a second layer against torrential rain.I have used only once so I cannot say anything on the durability, it looks a bit fragile and it would be better handling it with care.

This tent is okay for the money. But it isn't really much good in the rain as it has no fly sheet (of course it rained when i used it). I would find it very snug if I had another person in this tent with me and I'm a slim 5' 4" woman! Two man? can't see how that would work...
