LANSHAN Ultralight Tent 3-Season Backpacking Tent for 1-Person or 2-Person Camping, Trekking, Kayaking, Climbing, Hiking

First time buying a tent and first time using one since I was a kid. Great price, great quality and easy to pitch tent that comes with everything needed to pitch so there are no additional purchases needed other than a single trekking pole. Practiced setting up the tent at a local park before going backpacking last weekend and it took all of 10 minutes to set up both times(after watching a few videos on YouTube beforehand). Tent, stakes and guy lines are all good quality, and the lines as well as connection points are reflective making after-dark pitching simple if you have a small/low light source to work with. Tent is lightweight and takes up a small amount of space in my hiking bag. Tent comes with everything necessary to pitch as well as a small patch kit, stake bag and tent bag, and the tent is easy to stow in the bag. There are small hooks/loops to retain the doors when you roll them up so that they don't just dangle or blow in the wind. There is also a small hook that hangs inside just above the front access point which is convenient for hanging a light. Tent has great seals all around including at the zippers so bug intrusion was not an issue, and I had no condensation upon waking after the first night of use(high elevation, 60 degree overnight temps in dry Rocky Mountain climate). I'm 5'6" and had plenty of room in the tent with an inflatable mattress, sleeping bag and all of my gear inside including my 55/L hiking bag, didn't even need to use the two additional guy lines that create head and foot space so I could have made the interior more spacious if I had wanted to. This tent is best suited for anyone 6'0" or under. Tent is definitely for 1-person only due to narrow width. Best bang-for-the-buck backpacking tent out there IMO in regard to quality vs cost, would definitely buy again.

Overall, I think this is a good, budget friendly, lightweight, backpacking tent. I am, however, disappointed in a couple of components that seem to have been altered/changed, based on what I’ve seen in all online video reviews I’ve watched.The line lock tensioners of the guy lines have been changed to an in-line style instead of those attached directly to the loops on the tent. I find this particular in-line style to be more of a pain to adjust the tension as it requires two hands instead of just one.The other change, which makes the tent more cumbersome to pitch, is the lines on the four corners of the inner tent floor body. Instead of utilizing bungee cord, the tent now simply has thin static string (same cordage as the guy lines). This inhibits being able to easily attach the outer tent fly to the tent pegs first, then later attaching the inner tent floor lines to the tent pegs. I also found the thin static cord to be too short to effectively provide a proper pitch (the outer tent ends up being tensioned all the way to the tent stakes, matching the inner tent attachment lines, thus being too close to the ground to provide proper ventilation flow from underneath). I see that lower down in the listing, the seller touts the change to static lines as “an improvement” but I see it as a downgrade (and probably a cost cutting measure).Although I have now since swapped out the thin static lines of the inner tent corners to some bungee line that I bought, I was disappointed that the tent did not arrive that way.Finally, I find it great that both the fly and inner mesh tent components can easily be set up independently. Just adding two guy lines attached to the top corner rings to then stake out the trekking poles is all that’s needed extra for the independent inner mesh setup.In the end, I still think this is a great tent (provided there’s some additional seam sealing). After a test night of hard thunderstorms, there was some water puddling inside (see photos). Some of it could have been blown inside from underneath the vestibules (as splash up), but I’ll be seam sealing the areas I think are more vulnerable to leaks.

Overall this is a great tent right out of the box, it has nice headroom (I’m 6’1” and had room to spare) especially for a backpacking tent. The material is lightweight and highly water resistant (it also with mentioning that the regular version is waterproof out of the box, whereas the pro version is not). The included stakes are heavy-duty and better than most, also there are enough included stakes to do a standard pitch, but more can be added for an improved pitch. I highly recommend researching this tent on YouTube, because even though it is great right out of the box, there are a number of small modifications that can be made to make the tent more efficient to set up and with a sturdier, less flappy end result. The included stuff sack is on the small side and I will eventually replace it with a better one, but for the price you can’t beat it

Both lightweight and strong in storms, this tent lives up to the description. I purchased the footprint as well to offer protection to the tent floor. Once you put it up and down a few times, it literally takes about 5 minutes from backpack to pitched. Had plastic cords on the tent rather than the elastic indicated in the installtion video, but I think the plastic cord will hold up better. My personal preference was to buy 2mm paracord and tensioners for the vesitbule so that you can keep the long cords on the roof tensioners (otherwise would have to use that cord for both the roof and vestibule - the further you can get the stakes away from the tent the better, allowing for less angle on the stakes and more strength.) Held up to several showers and a strong storm with no water getting to the tent tub due to the ample rainfly coverage/extension beyond the tent tub and footprint. Might be upgrading to the new pro model to get some additional space inside - great for 1 plus gear (pack and hiking shoes) but too cozy for 2 full sized adults.

Used on my last trip. Left the inner part at home. Had some light rain .. stayed dry. I really like that I was able to just use my poles. Use the external part and set it up. It was really nice packed down really nice super light really good experience with the tent so far.
