MIER Ultralight Tent 3-Season Backpacking Tent for 1-Person or 2-Person Camping, Trekking, Kayaking, Climbing, Hiking, (exclude Alpenstock)

Very light but needs care putting up properly - watch the video!

The first test was in a thunderstorm with heavy rain. ( OFC I had a secondary shelter and my car pretty close. ) Used it by two person. I have to add, it worked and can be a shelter for 2 but ideal for one plus gear. 100% water proof. The wind is nothing to this tent. 2 small issues. The closing zips of the rainfall from inside are hard to reach and those plastic hooks at their end tried my patience. Told to be 3 season. In the UK I would go with it anywhere in any season if I have a reasonable sleeping gear. In 8 degrees , heavy rain and 40mph wind I was pretty good with a 3 season sleeping bag and a £6 inflatable mat. I did not need my coat and could not wear my sweatshirt and pants ans socks due to the weather. They were on me when I piched in the rain. All wet. Still I had a cosy warm night without any fear. I heard the noise of the wind... like a bullettrain... the constant showers but the tent did not move, did not leak. I had a pretty good night.

Love it ,sets up easily .almost waterproof I had to seam seal where tieouts are sewn on .I like it's light weight.

Great light versatile tente, very nice for outdoor activities or just to have for emergency plan winter time stock somewhere and need to rally a point. Plan B.

The tent just arrived today and I couldn't wait to set it up. (I had been using a Luxe Tempo Ultralight 1 person tent and found it to be too cramped with a very small vestibule.) Let me start by saying that there are a LOT of things to like about this tent. The reinforced corners of the tent floor; the reinforced tie out sections; the nice size of the vestibule; the intelligent guy lines (with "8" hooks) on the sides that pull the fly from the tent and at the same time the mesh tent from the frame, creating a little more space inside; the nice large vents front/rear; the TWO guy lines on the rear section that keep the fly from touching the tent and pull the tent further away from the poles; the curved fly that should help increase circulation/air flow and reduce condensation; and the reasonable weight and pack size. In fact, about the only thing that I didn't care for was the unusually light weight buckles that snap the rain fly on. They are the flimsiest rain fly buckles I've ever seen. I hope they last. Other than that, I think this tent will fit my needs perfectly. I wanted a 1 man tent with enough room for me to be able to sleep in and not touch the walls, and also have room for my 75L pack. This MIER tent looks like just what the doctor ordered. It'll be around 35 degrees F here tonight and I already have my sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and 2Go bivy set up for later on. All I need to do is bring my wool sleeping blanket out, snuggle inside my bag, and take 'er for a test drive. I will update as I have more experience with the product. UPDATE 12/6/18: I kept this tent up for almost 2 weeks straight (in my back yard). During that time there were nights when the temperature dropped into the low 20s; the winds reached peaks of 35+ mph; and when it rained it rained for at least 2 days straight at a time. There was ZERO water inside the tent; condensation was almost non-existent when I slept in it; the guy lines stayed taut for the most part the entire time; and the tent itself remained taut the entire time -- in short, the tent performed flawlessly. I had enough room for myself; I do not necessarily recommend this tent for 2 people. But that's not uncommon for "2 person tents". They are generally very good for 1 person and marginally workable for 2 people and their gear. 3 people tents are usually recommended for 2 people and their gear.

While I appreciated the weight and packed size of this tent, I did not realize just how true of a one person tent it is. Not one person and their gear, ONE PERSON. I also had the stuff sack it came in tear beyond repair on my second trip with it down the Rogue River Trail. On my third trip with it through the Wallowa Mountains we encountered rain and occasional snow. Despite the significant amount of mesh used for the tent body, I had MAJOR condensation issues. Dripped on my sleeping bag all night and gave it a giant wet spot.

Just returned from my first over-night in the this tent in the desert. Forecast called for clear skies and temps in the low 40s. The wind started howling in the evening, and by 8 pm, gale force winds were reaching peak gusts of 55 miles an hour, with sustained wind of 35 to 40 miles per hour. I was "off-trail" and had no choice but to stay the night and hope for the best. This tent held up unbelievably. The wind continued for 11 straight hours. The only failure of the tent was the small plastic hook that connects the vestibule doors to the guy-out. It sheared in half. I made a "field repair" using some parachord and the tent held together. I was surprised and impressed, since very few tents are designed to stand up to this kind of relentless beating. Literally NO tears or breakages of any kind, and although it was "flapping like a flag in a hurricane," it kept me protected from the wind and blowing debris all night. I seriously doubt if any free-standing tent would have held up in this kind of wind. PROS: Sets up nicely, (with some practice...watch some videos) and easily. Plenty of room inside with storage pockets and lantern hooks. EXTREMELY durable in gale-force winds. Double-wall tent. Really light-weight. Does NOT cost 600 dollars! CONS: Footprint sold seperately at one-third of the cost of the tent. Stuff-sack sucks a little. Opening is too small. I would buy this tent again, no problem. I'm looking forward to using it again soon!
