- Lightweight Backpacking Tent - 1/1.5/2/3/4/6 Person Ultralight Waterproof Camping Tent, 3 Season Large Size Easy Setup Tent for Family, Outdoor, Hiking and Mountaineering

I was overall very happy with this tent. I bought it in preparation for a backpacking trip with my kid. I originally bought the North Face 3-people tent for $230 but when it arrived, it felt too heavy and bulky. Then I saw this tent on Amazon for a 1/3 of the price with such good reviews so I decided to give it a shot. After going on the trip, here are my conclusions: 1) It is ultra-light AND super compact - it folds to a relatively small size which makes it very convenient to carry. 2) It is very easy to assemble. 3) It is very spacious on the inside. There were just two of us, but even with a third person it seemed that there was more than enough space for three people and the equipment. also - I am 6'3" tall and had more than enough space for myself and my long mattress. 4) There are two fairly sizable exits making it very convenient to go in and out, and the zippers are super smooth and relatively quiet (so you don't wake up your crew if you go out in the middle of the night). 5) It was raining ALL night. In the morning, the outside of the tent was covered in water drops but the inside remained completely dry! Some potential cons: 1) I have only used it once so far. I would say that the material felt thinner and cheaper vs. the North Face tent, and I don't know how durable this tent is in the long run compared to some more expensive ones, but as long as you remain gentle when building and folding it, it felt like it could easily last for long. 2) It comes without a footprint. I would recommend buying a footprint separately to make sure you keep the bottom of the tent safer. The case has more than enough room to fit the footprint inside when the tent is folded and packed. In conclusion - they definitely earned a 5-star review from me!

I have used this tent on 2 3-night trips. It is great. Easy to set up. Lightweight for packing. Sturdy in winds up to 15 MPH. Dry in rain when using the rain cover. Very roomy for one full sized person and gear. I have not tried with 2 people but expect that would be fine. I compared this tent to other campers in our group and this one stacks up well.

I lived in Mongolia as an expat American from 2002-2022 (came back to US toward the end of COVID). As you may well imagine, Mongolia is campers' paradise. With only 3.5 million humans in a land mass the size of Alaska, the naturescapes are vast, abundant, pristine, and profound in their variety. Camping is about as second-nature to Mongolians as watching football is to Americans. I had not been camping since I returned to the US in December 2022, and my soul really needed a return to nature. I was looking out for gear for months. But since I was on a very tight budget, I had to be scrupulous about the right quality tent at the right price. I decided to take a chance on this one: Clostnature Polaris Lightweight Backpacking Tent. I was definitely skeptical. Back in Mongolia, my old warhorse tent was a Tatonka - the king of European-engineered rigor! OK - back to Clostnature Polaris Lightweight Backpacking Tent. The advertisement did not lie. I did 2 nights out in the bush solo camping this past weekend. The tent will comfortably sleep 2 normal-sized people. (By normal-sized, I mean adventurous/outdoorsy folks who are fit and average to light in weight.) The tent itself is fine mesh - lacking any additional polyester knitting to toughen up the sides. It's all mesh to the flooring material (as in the picture). Durable? OK. Yes. With caveats: durable in moderate to light winds under 20 mph sustained. I got the feeling that the thin aluminum poles would not withstand sustained wind pressure over 30 mph, or gusts in excess of 40 mph. Over the weekend, I enjoyed moderately windy and rainy weather, but was snug and dry within the tent. The fly withstood both wind and rain. Nevertheless, during the strongest gusts, my mind wistfully reminisced the rather thicker tent poles for my Tatonka workhorse tent back in Mongolia, and I wondered whether I could find a set of thicker aluminum poles to fit the assembly rings on this Clostnature Polaris 2-person ultralight. Oh yeah. Ultralight - it is that. I hauled this tent in my camping backpack along with kitchen mess kit, food and essentials, riding my bicycle 35 km. Assembly? I got it up in fewer that 15 minutes in gusty wind. I'm experienced, so as soon as I assembled the main tent, I dropped my backpack within to hold it down from blowing away while I affixed the fly. The fly has plastic snap-locks at each corner to quickly attach to the tent base at the pole eyes. The tent stakes are strong and were easy to insert into the clay ground of the terrain. But bear in mind that if you pitch this tent on rocky soil and have to hammer down those stakes? You are liable to bend or break them. The packaging is exemplary, and the manufacturer included additional cordage to tie down the fly for windy conditions. I did not bother to tie them down on this trip. Unless the weather is terrifically windy? I shy away from cordage extensions for stability - because I inevitably trip on the cords during night walks. In sum. This is an excellent value for the price $69 in my case for an ultralight 1 or 2 person tent. The fly offers excellent shield from rain. Engineering is stable for sustained winds up to 20 mph, but I would be wary of sticking this tent on a mountainside with gusts over 40 mph. For the casual weekend jaunt at the local forest preserve? This is an excellent deal. Edited: Amazon just posted my initial review and I thought it might be helpful to add pictures and a short addendum. I decided to return this 3-Season tent and grab the Clostnature Libra Lightweight 4-Season - because it appears to be that much warmer and more snug. While the 3-Season tent is probably better suited to more southern states, up here in Illinois weather, the 4-season might be the better option! I'll review that purchase after I take it out for a test drive in a few weeks. Meanwhile, note that after reviewing the 3-season, I liked the product enough that I went back to same vendor. That should say something to readers. I am a scrupulous consumer/bargain hunter.

If in a rush: GET IT, CHEAP REALLY REALLY WATER PROOF AND LIGHTWEIGHT UPDATE: I added a picture showing the mesh size, you can compare it to the white thread below, it is a VERY small opening type mesh (a good thing, air flows, no criters however small can get in) Just be sure to give yourself enough time to receive it. I ordered Wednesday with prime, should have received on friday, arrived next tuesday, needless to say it was a stressful start of week, my trip depended on it If you have a few more seconds to read this review: I had a "this weekend" invitation for an overnight river kayaking trip. Since the pandemic (2020) I hadn't used my old tent (Eureka Zeus Exo 1 - I loved it) but too long stored without TLC lost its waterproofness. Decided to go with this one cause its a similar design, it was really cheap considering all other options/brands, light enough and the "allegedly" overnight shipping. The tent is REALLY water proof, it poured on us from 7pm until 4am, I fell asleep in seconds hearing the rain on the tent rain cover and didnt wake up until 5am. All other tents got wet (4 of them including 1 North Face and one REI - personally I always considered REI to be over rated). Of 5 tents, 4 had the same design and mine outperformed all others. Vents work really well and tent is comfy enough to sleep in there with a pack (snug but comfy). Im 6.2", 238lbs (on the big side of the scale) and had enough room to stretch feet and sleep face down with hands hugging pillow (i.e. a bit longer over my head). I used the tent in tropical weather (about 97F and 90% humidity) but I can see it work in any temp and being able to take snow weight - not blizzard though. It sets up in about 2 minutes when not rushing, and folds in about 3-4 minutes in same conditions. Get it, I love this tent and yes, I think its better than the Eureka

I got the 1.5 person version and used it 20 nights this Spring, Summer, and Fall on camping trips. It is surprisingly high quality for the low price, it packs small and is light weight. It easily has enough space for myself and my gear and it is plenty long. The vestibule is very convenient for storing my boots and any other gear I don't want inside the tent, I wouldn't buy a tent without a vestibule. It is quick to put up and take down and is free-standing, which means that it stands up entirely on it's own without having to tie ropes to trees or stakes to hold it up, which is a hassle. For me this tent is perfect.

UPDATE: used the Polaris on a camping trip this weekend. No rain but heavy dew at night. Temps around 50 at night. I noticed very little condensation inside the fly with both vents open. The tent mesh keeps you off the fly. I was very impressed with the room I had for all my gear. Zips worked flawlessly. I was even able to take my small backpacking chair inside. I was a little worried about the chair feet on the tent floor but had no problems. I use a tarp underneath and I think maybe adding a towel to sit the chair on would help even more. I stayed dry and warm. It exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. After doing hours of product reviews, I chose the Polaris. I spend an average 30 nights a year in a tent. My Kelty was just a little cramped with gear, so I wanted something just a little larger. The tent arrived in short order and was complete in the package. The storage bag was sufficient. Not too heavy for medium-distance backpacking trips. I put the tent up in my yard and was pleased with the construction, materials, and size. The aluminum poles are lightweight and I found this tent to be very easy to set up. Took about 5 mins. No sleeves to deal with. I did not notice any odors in the tent. The zippers seem sufficient and come with little reflective pull strings. This is a nice touch and can help you find the zippers at night (especially if you're in a hurry to get out). The interior is roomy and there is a small vestibule at either door. Reflective tie-outs are provided if you want to use them. The tent pegs are beefier than the average cheap peg, but I still bent 2 even while being careful. I'll replace them as I usually do with better pegs. So far I'm satisfied. I have another camping trip in a few weeks. If I have any problems with the tent, I'll do an update, but I don't expect any. It may be my tent for Denali next year. I'm 5'11, 215 lbs. I think it would fit me and one other. If you're looking for an affordable tent with plenty of room and great construction, check this one out.

I'm not one to leave very many product reviews, but I believe this tent deserves one. I spent a considerable amount of time (i.e. way too much!) researching tents and product reviews long before purchasing. To me, specs are critically important and I loved the fact that Clostnature posts them in plain daylight without having to contact the company or other people to ask questions. Honestly, I believe it is a red flag if you see fluff information in the product description without specific material specs, because knowing the materials of your tent helps give you the piece of mind you need to make an informed and wise decision. If you take the time to compare vs. Clostnature's competition, you will find the Clostnature materials are just better across the board. Seriously...pull up a bunch of tents on Amazon and you will hard pressed to find a tent FOR THIS PRICE with 75D 210T Polyester + PU 5000 across the board. That (and smart design) are what sets the Clostnature tent apart from the rest. FIELD TEST: I tested this in the mountains of middle Tennessee with rain overnight (temps in the low 50's) and the tent kept completely dry, ventilated and comfortable. The rain fly kept any moisture condensation off the tent itself (because it did not touch the tent as all with guy-lines installed) despite heavy rain, and the double sided vents at the top of the fly added balanced ventilation. Again, this is a feature difference between Clostnature and their competition (see below). Zippers worked smoothly and everything is seam-sealed from the factory. Also, the interior size is more spacious than I even expected, which is a huge plus for keeping gear inside from the weather/elements. 2 people and gear can all easily fit in this tent which is a superior design difference from other tents. FOOTPRINT: As noted, this tent does not come with a footprint, but a 5'6x7'6 tarp can be purchased at Harbor Freight for $4 and it's heavy duty 9mil that is darn close to the exact measurements of the tent itself. Usually, footprints that come with tents are pretty thin anyway (to keep lightweight for serious backpackers), so it's a personal preference what matters to you most and what you can tolerate. Personally, I want something underneath me that will prevent any rocks, sticks or roots poking through, so I don't mind a few ounces more in weight for something much more durable, and it's $4. At the beginning of my research, the footprint issue was the only thing holding me back from purchasing this tent. However, I could not overcome the specs being superior to the competition for a better price, so I decided to go with Clostnature and use a separate footprint. PRODUCT COMPARISON: Honestly, my buddy brought his new Hyke/Byke Yosemite tent on our hiking trip and he liked the design of my Clostnature tent better as his rainfly was loose when properly installed, there were no air vents at the top of his rainfly, and the overall interior size of his tent looked much smaller than my Clostnature tent (and we carry basically identical gear). In other words, he agreed that 2 people could easily sleep in the Clostnature whereas only 1 could comfortably sleep in his H&B tent (even though our tent size was very close). He also liked my make-shift footprint better (even though his tent came with one) because mine was much more heavy duty and trustworthy. Unfortunately, his H&B rainfly ripped at one of the seams when he started to tie it down, so there's your best product comparison first-hand between 2 tents out of the box that are pretty close in style and quality. OVERALL: This is simply a great tent with smart design and superior materials/features. Those who seriously research before they buy like I do will also appreciate how quickly this company responds to questions and feedback, which is another unspoken feature that makes the purchase experience much better after the fact. It's truly the little details that most people take for granted in buying a tent (or any product for that matter), so BUY WITH CONFIDENCE IN THIS CLOSTNATURE TENT, understanding that it is easily the best bang for the buck on Amazon for tents, hands down. FYI: And NO, I was not compensated in any way to write this review. This is just my personal opinion from an average Joe trying to muddle through the sea of fake reviews out there so people like me can make wiser purchase decisions. Bottom-line: This Clostnature tent is legit and worth every penny based on actual field test experience and directly comparing side-by-side against a similar tent that is climbing the charts on Amazon right now for a higher price. Common sense says, "Buy the Clostnature!" UPDATE (2019): Clostnature is now offering a custom foot print to fit this tent which is sold separately and is very affordable (https://amazon.com/Clostnature-Tent-Footprint-Waterproof-Backpacking/dp/B07MZ3CL2N?ref_=ast_bbp_dp). It appears they do offer a % discount when you purchase the two together, FYI, so check for the coupon code. I purchased the footprint and it works great as a lightweight alternative to the heavy mil tarp I referenced above. Both work effectively for different purposes (camping vs. backpacking).

We got the 2 person size and we love it. Both nights it kept us away from all the wind and sand. Night 2 it kept us nice and dry in the heavy rain. Super easy set up, compact, perfect for 2 people (without gear), and it’ll keep you dry. As you can see in the photos, the rain fly is big enough to cover your pack and shoes. Doors on each side of the tent and rainfly.

Great tent which packs up really small. Got a single blow up bed in there without issue, but would probably fit a double also. With the single there was room for storage. Used for a weekend camping. No moisture inside the tent in the mornings.

si viene completo y funcional

I have been really impressed by this tent! It is really compact when packed up, especially for a tent at this price point. The carrying bag it comes with fits everything great and has straps that you can cinch to make it even smaller. Its also fairly light considering the price point- around 5 pounds for a 2 person tent isn't bad. It is VERY easy and fast to set up, the body of the tent attaches to the poles using little clips which make setup a breeze. It has 4 internal mesh pockets for small items which are handy for glasses or a headlamp. The interior doors are nice and large and roll back neatly, and I like having the two exterior door options (the wide one with the two zippers is my favourite). As others have mentioned, the vestibules are quite small so if you are using it for two people there is not a lot of gear storage space. Bags can fit, but I found they got wet due to dew and condensation as they were right up against the tent wall. I brought along a couple of garbage bags as extra protection from this. I haven't had much opportunity (luckily) to test out just how waterproof the fly is, and I always add an extra layer of reflective tarp as a groundsheet underneath the tent to protect the floor and add a touch of insulation. Overall I really love this tent- great price and is just what I needed

Great tent. Super easy to set up, light weighted, very comfortable to sleep in

I camped with this tent for 4 nights and it worked out great. One of those nights it rained and none of the water came into the tent. Setting up the tent is really quick, you just assemble the poles, clip them to the top of the tent, and then put the fly over and clip it in. You can then peg in the corners of the tent and the fly so it's not touching the tent fabric. I got the 1-man version of the tent and really does only have space for a sleeping mat and bag and that's it. The vestibule doesn't have space for a backpack but it does have space for shoes. If you have the fly flaps tied up then air will flow through the tent. The fly also has two flaps at the top that can be propped open for airflow. The tent also has 4 mini-pockets on the inside for storing valuables you want to keep track of. Rolling up the tent and getting it back into the bag is not that difficult.
