1 man tent

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a 1 man tent to give flexibility when going on rides and also for those bevvied up nights when I end up sleeping in mate's gardens

I want a 1 man tent that's as small as possible so I can bungee it to the bike and the best I've found so far is this one;

Which is only 1.6kg and folds up to 40cm x 10cm x 10cm. Anyone got or know of anything similar / better?

Cheers,
Matt

Looks ok to me, but don't expect it to be roomy.

I ain't bothered about roomy, I'm not that tall and I won't have much stuff. I just want something that folds up as small as possible for carrying.

Better off going for a double skin tent, will be better at staying dry when the weathers not good. If you want a one man tent, better of going for a full 2-man tent, they tend to be on the small side anyway. A 2-man tent will prob only give you just enough room for you and your kit.

Have a lok at some of the Coleman stuff. You can pick up a decent 2-man, double skin for less than a ton. They still pack down small and dont weigh that much.

You wont get better value than this!

I bought two on ebay last week.

My mate has the same tent, which i have slept in. Double skinned, so wind and waterproof!

£27.50, which includes two sleeping bags and padded mattresses.

Mine arrived yesterday in the post. Well chuffed!

All I'll say is that you get what you pay for............

Most of those festival tents get left behind at the end of the weekend.

Get a quality tent and it will look after you for years.

i have a gelert fossa it weighs 2kg and its about the size of a shoebox when packed up

i have only put it up in the front room........ and it is what it says on the tin. a 1 man tent, a bit too small for me.

£20 posted ...any good?

This is probably truer for tents than most stuff. My oldest tent is a Vaude Space 2 and it cost me £180 about 16 years ago. Still waterproof and still got plenty of life left in it.
