Night Cat Backpacking Tent for One 1 to 2 Persons Lightweight Waterproof Camping Hiking Tent for Adults Kids Scouts Easy Setup Single Layer 2.2x1.2m

I couldn’t be happier with this Night Cat backpacking tent! I’m 5’8”, medium build, and about 170 pounds, and this 2-person tent was incredibly spacious while still being lightweight enough for backpacking. I carried it on a 6+ mile hike at elevations between 10,000 and 11,000 feet, and it fit perfectly in my backpack without adding unnecessary weight. After a long day on the trail, I was pleasantly surprised that I had the tent set up in less than five minutes. The setup was simple and stress-free, even when I was tired. Inside, there was plenty of room for my sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and backpack, with extra space to move around comfortably. Getting in and out was easy, and I really liked that it has only one entrance. It helped keep the tent warmer throughout the night. The quality exceeded my expectations. The tent withstood strong winds without any issues, and I stayed completely dry with no moisture buildup inside. The fabric feels durable and well made, giving me confidence that this tent will last for many backpacking trips. If you’re looking for a lightweight, roomy, easy-to-set-up backpacking tent that performs well in high elevations and cooler conditions, I highly recommend this one. It was an excellent purchase, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again.

Easy 2 pole setup, fiberglass poles are strong and fabric is pulled very tight. Kept me dry and the bugs out. This is a great tent for one person with room for gear and a sleeping pad if stacked correctly.

For a $40 tent, this was outstanding. Light enough. Roomie enough. It lasted through 3 nights of backpack camping in Idaho, setting up and tearing down each night and carrying it in my backpack. It rained medium-heavy for about an hour one night, and I stayed dry! I saw no evidence of water inside except where condensation got on my sleeping bag because I touched the side. I can't rate it a 5-star because, even though the price is low, you can tell it is cheap (probably won't last too long) and it lacks features in order to make it that cheap. Some of the 1-star reviews mentioned the poles breaking. You can tell when setting up and tearing down that the plastic material of the poles is really cheap and soft. I could literally see indentations going into the pole segments from the metal coupling as I assembled it if I wasn't careful. And the metal tip on the end of one of the poles started to come off slightly, but it lasted. Regarding features, the only window is the front door. There is no rain fly that covers the tent. The rain fly only covers the mesh part of the tent at the very top. (But the tent did stay dry in the rain.) The rope to stake down the tent has not hooks on the end and requires tying knots. I actually never staked it down.

I am 6' 1" and it is big enough for me, my mattress, and my gear. With a second adult, there would be no room for any gear, but technically, you could fit 2 adults. Set-up is easy, especially since I practiced at home first. I would put a tarp down first for rocky or wet conditions. It fit easily in one motorcycle saddle bag with my mattress, (see my other reviews).

This tent really can be set up by one person even at dusk! I got the slim one & if you like to cuddle, 2 people really can fit with individual camping pads next to each other! By myself I had enough room for my backpack & clothes at the end by my feet. Good airflow with only the screen zipped & the rain fly off. A camping fan hanging from the center top really will keep it cooler & airy at night if you prefer sleeping cool like I do. Took this camping the first weekend in August & set it up under a tree so it had shade half the day. Cooled off quick with the fan for sleeping even with it nearly triple digits during the day! Easy to take down & put away. I would recommend picking up some better stakes & cords for anchoring if you are camping anywhere but a lawn! LOL as expected, the included tie downs are laughable (most are). It's very thin cord that is invisible after dark (don't trip on it) & cheap thin metal pegs that bend in rough ground & spin in the dirt if you try to hammer them deeper. If you camp in a windy environment, it will turn into a kite with them!

The tent fabric itself seems good. In an actual storm, that dental dam of a rain fly wouldn't last. The poles are a certain diameter fiberglass, with something like a thick shrink tube. When the poles connect, the shrink tube layer tears or slides, leaving an entirely too small diameter for the hole 🤫 the elastic is too flimsy in the poles so sections pop out. The pole pegs for the corners pop off even with the swedge. No tarp material bottom. The tarp bottom and rain fly were what I expected for $43. I guess the poles are probably the most expensive part anyhow

2025-08-23_25 On first use (camping in the mountains) one of the poles snapped, at the edge of the connecting metal sleve, cut back the cracked section and reinserted in the metal sleve/connector as soon as tensioned it snapped again, tried again reinforcing the joint with duct tape. 3rd time was the charm but in the process got my hands full of fiberglass splinters, thanks to the available duct tape got most of them out, but 3 days later, at home I still have some left. I liked the space, side door and side door extended rainfly giving room outside for shoes covering from rain. Quality is lacking, besides the snapped fiberglass pole, the 2 door panels were stitched together , had to cut the stitching apart fearing that it would unravel, everywhere there was bad stitching long left over threads. Barely survived a late afternoon summer downpour, stayed dry inside, I hat set it on top of a polypropylene tarp, for protection against water intrusion and punctures. Got this to replace my 40 + year old tent, having this one fail on day one was a mayor disappointment after gotten a "brand name" tent, was trying to avoid this experience from a "cheap Chinese" tent, and having access to spares in the future, not after one use. Day 2, late afternoon, same pole snapped on same spot, it held, mostly thanks to the duct tape, the tent didn't collapse, so I crossed my fingers and went to sleep as it was. Duct tape held overnight. This was a 2 night trip, so I took it down in the morning. As I said, I liked the design and the space, comfortable for me, 5'4" 140lbs, totally disappointed on the construction quality . I do not recommend this tent.

Easy to set up, compact, and more spacious than I expected when set up. The tent is kind of water proof. The corners of the tent were allowing water to flow in during the rainstorms, but it wasn’t too bad. The bottom of the tent is fairly thin and easily punctured. I used it for a week and ended up with two small holes in the bottom, along with 60 ants. I killed the ants and put teetree oil over the holes, and the ants stopped coming in. Overall it is a good product, but could definitely be improved

Je suis parti plusieurs jours en bikepacking pour la première fois et je n’ai pas voulu investir un gros budget dans une tente. Malheureusement, je comprends maintenant la différence entre une tente premier prix et une vraie tente de trekking. La tente n’est pas suffisamment étanche. Dès la première nuit sous la pluie, la bâche était trempée, mon sac de couchage a pris l’humidité et j’ai eu des doutes sur la suite du voyage. Même par temps sec, près d’un lac avec la rosée du matin, l’intérieur était humide. Pour un usage occasionnel par beau temps, elle peut peut-être convenir, mais pour du camping itinérant sur plusieurs jours, je ne la recommande pas. De mon côté, elle ne sera pas réutilisée pour du bikepacking. Après 10 jours d’utilisation, les piquets de sol, les fixations et les arceaux de la tente (les deux barres qui donnent la forme arrondie à la tente) se sont révélés très fragiles. La tente n’a pas résisté à un usage de voyage à vélo sur plusieurs jours.

fits in the back of a 1990 Mazda B series pickup shortbox perfectly if you fold the tailgate down, and remove the top 2 corner screws holding the backing plate down. the 2 corner posts fit perfect into the holes and hold the tent firmly in place.

Great little tent. Perfect for short stays or in my case, motorbike holidays. Easy to set up and pack down. Doesn't take up a lot of space. Excellent buy!
