Clostnature Polaris Lightweight Backpacking Tent – 2/3/4 Person Ultralight Waterproof Camping Tent, 3 Season Large Size Easy Setup Tent for Family, Outdoor, Hiking and Mountaineering

Lightweight. Packs well. Worth it for the money!
FYI, my previous experiences with tents have been using two separate single-person backpack tents. I hate single-person tents for space concerns but it is nice to have them fit in with a pack. For that reason I decided to go with the CLostnature tent with expectation I would have to carry it separate but the space would be worth it. That being said:The Clostnature Tent is solid and would **theoretically** fit in a pack, but it’d have to be a pretty large one. I could see it fitting in one of the bigger pouches on a ruck sack for example, but in a standard “going hiking” backpack you’d have some trouble. I like the bag it comes in. It makes it easy to separate it from whatever else you’re bringing and you can tie it or pack it in a vehicle very easily. In my case I threw it in the back of the truck that we took as a group and grabbed it to set up the tent when needed.The tent comes with extra stakes which is nice. They seem to be constructed well and I was able to hammer them into harder ground without any of them bending or breaking.The poles are solid material. About what to expect and they seemed to maintain a bent shape without worrying me about snapping.The tent sets up fairly easy however it took a few looks to make sure I had the right sides up or down. Once you being placing poles it’s very easy.This could be seen as an upside or downside, but the poles don’t “stick” to their loops, they slide very loosely through them. I personally like it that way so teardown is easier, but someone may consider that a structural issue. I had no issues with the tent structure-wise as it was set up for three nights.The air inside of the tent is great even with the rainfly over. Good air circulation through day and night.I did not get to test the rainfly as it didn’t rain my first trip, but I was satisfied with the tent otherwise. It was quite cold at night in the mid-30s and the air allowed in definitely made it colder, but it wasn’t better or worse than any tents I’ve dealt with previously.During my trip the space inside the tent was enough to fit myself, a small personal bag for my sleeping pad and blow-up pillow, a charger and a spot for phones, a hunting rifle and another guy about my size. I’m just under 6 foot tall and so is he and we were both able to have some space. I couldn’t see fitting a third fully grown man in there, but if you have a family I could see you, a spouse, and a younger child squeezing in just for sleeping. On night 2 of my trip I slept in the tent alone and it was a great amount of space.Overall I had a good time with the tent, it kept up to windy conditions, was a solid place to sleep at night, was tight against insects and animals and had plenty of space. For money’s worth I was very happy with the purchase and am looking forward to using it again the next time I head camping.

A good tent that could be better
From just setting it up in the yard to test itPros:- Pretty cheap at $67- Relatively light weight and small for a cheap tent- Very easy to set up and take down- Internal space is bigger than a lot of competitors. Roomy for 1 person with gear and just enough space for 2 sleeping pads and no gear for 2 people.- The two doors are big enough and the zippers seem to work well.- Internal pockets at all 4 corners of the tent. Hook at the top works for hanging a light.- The rain fly attaches to the tent with buckles, a good feature.- Clever use of the little pinch tensioners as toggles to hold back the rolled up doors.Cons:- I have used the Clostnature ground sheets as a cheap lightweight tarp for a while and like them. I was hoping the rain fly on this tent would be the same material but it is not. The rain fly feels a little thin and doesn’t inspire confidence. I haven’t tested it in the rain yet though.- The rain fly really feels like it should be a few inches bigger. In one of the pictures you can see that it doesn’t cover the end of the tent by just a little bit. That part of the tent is supposed to be waterproof too but I would prefer full coverage from the fly especially since those short ends are where your head and feet would be.- Relatedly, the vestibules are quite small. You could fit a pair of shoes or maybe a backpack leaning up against the inner tent. But that’s all, and I’m not sure how well protected they would be.- The internal pockets are a little loose and shallow and it seems like things could fall out of them without too much movement.- The guy lines on the tent are very thin. That’s probably not a big deal since I’m sure they are at least as strong as the rain fly material.- You can’t open the top vents from the inside of the tent.Overall, if the rain fly was a little bigger and a little thicker, with a bit bigger vestibules, this would be a 5 star tent (at least if the fly holds up to rain).

This held up well in a heavy rain fall. I did use sealant along the stiching for extra care but doesn’t mean it needed it.Very cozy. Easy to put together and not as heavy as I thought.Cool design and having two side doors is convenient.Love the look!

This is a brilliant tent, it’s small when packed away, lightweight and everything feels good strong material I’ve had a lot of tents over the years I’ve taken on camping trip and festivals and this is the best by far
