Night Cat Backpacking Tent for 1-2 Persons Lightweight

This is such an awesome product for campers on a budget like me. I haven’t tested it out myself yet, but my DOG sure has! She slept in it for three nights while I was away from home because I couldn’t bring her along and I don’t have a dog house.
The tent is super easy to setup; it only has two poles. It sheds water just like it should. It comes with some cord so you can tie it down to the ground to prevent it from getting blown away in the wind. You get a mesh window on the door, and you can keep the door flaps open and out of the way with the attached latch thingys.
I think it’s fairly obvious, but I’ll say it anyway. This is not for snow/extreme cold. No duh. But it’s perfect for anything else.
One point of interest is the “rainfly”. It is not not fully cover the tent. The rainfly is a small tarp that covers the mesh on the roof. I recommend setting up a tarp above the tent in a flying configuration. You will deflect quite a lot of heat this way. With no extra tarp above the tent, I suspect it would get extraordinarily hot inside.
Another thing to mention is the poles. They are made of fiberglass, which is not the lightest material ever. And a teeny-tiny piece of it must have cracked off and lodged itself in my palm, because the first time I assembled the tent, I had a stabbing pain in the hand that I used to handle the fiberglass pole. It has mot happened since, so I still recommend this tent. Just don’t rub your skin on the poles too much. If you have carbon fiber tent poles that happen to be the right length, just use those instead.

Anyway, I digress. Great tent. Packs down small. Easy setup. Incredible price. Enough room for two people to sleep intimately, so I don’t recommend sharing the tent. I would call it a 1 person tent.

When I received the tent in the mail, the rain fly was damaged so I reached out to Night Cat support. They were very responsive and sent me a replacement quickly so A+ on their customer service. The tent itself seems good and lightweight which is what I was looking for. Can’t beat it for the price if you want something inexpensive to throw on the back of your motorcycle like I intend to. We’ll see how well the material holds up after a few campouts.

Great little tent overall, however does need more heavy duty pegs. Just came back from a 3 day camping trip in the mountains. Was pretty warm first night around 16-18 C . Around 24 C in the morning with humidity. In the morning there was some condensation on the tent walls ( which is to be expected from a single wall tent). Was deffinately warm and stuffy inside , opening a door flap helped a bit and dried off the tent super quick. Tent was under direct sunlight so it really didnt stand a chance at cooling off drastically. Second night absolutely insane storm hit with some rain and very strong wind gusts . Tent was parked on the slope, and I pinned it to a hard rocky terrain. It felt like I would fly away a few times. I believe if I used pegs that tent comes with tent would’ve taken off , those were coming right out of the ground when I used them setting up, so I had to use extra pegs I had with me , they are thicker and screw into the geound.
I was worried that rain fly is really small and wouldn’t protect much, but it held up surprisingly good. Did not come off, did not let any rain through. Tent did not leak at all, even when I touched walls. Considering storm went on from 7 pm untill about 5 am I find it shows durability.

Yes do buy. For the price REALLY good value. Get 6-8 extra heavy duty pegs and you are good to go. Very roomy, set up takes 5 minutes.

This is probably the best affordable tent on Amazon. It’s not too heavy, it’s really simple to setup, and it’s pretty durable. You could probably fit 2 sleeping pads in it but all your gear is sleeping outside, fits 1 perfectly. You can stake the front flaps and zip it up to have a little dry place to store your shoes, gear, etc. if you don’t want them in the tent. Love it so far, used it several times.

I had the tent set up in 5-6 minutes! Easy to use with straight forward assembly. The stakes are definitely for casual use; any windy environments will require thicker/sturdier stakes but, for a quick, calm overnight trip, the included stakes were fine. I would say the one-person tent is very large – closer to a 1.5 person size. Plenty of room for a full cot, backpack, water jug, hiking boots, handheld lantern, and camp shoes with room to spare. There is a hook in the center of the tent where I hung a light/fan combo. I didn’t use the rain fly so the air stayed comfortable in the tent especially with a little bit of circulation.

I can’t vouch for the waterproof ability since it hasn’t been in any storms/rain yet. The rain fly is also very tiny; it literally only covers the mesh ventilation on top of the tent. Any blowing rains would probably risk coming in the mesh.

Easy to assemble, roomy inside for 1 person, could hold 2 people also but would be snug. Bought for taking on my motorbike, great compact size and lightweight. Great quality for the price.
