I'm not a very experienced camper and these poles were easy to snap together and use, sturdy yet lightweight.

I’m really pleased with this tent. It’s half the price of most ultra light tents, and generally, I’m very pleased - but do have a few things to warn about. Good things first: this is so easy to set up! The pockets for the trekking poles are really helpful, and it comes with plenty of stakes. The tent is very light. The material feels sturdy. There is tons of head room, so even though it’s pretty small, it doesn’t feel terribly cramped. I loved having vestibules and entry on both sides. Now for the flaws: the zippers for the mesh doors are cumbersome. There’s not enough tension to be able to fully unzip with one hand. Not a big deal, just a bit obnoxious. There is no set up guide nor instruction booklet, and the online video is fairly limited. It would be nice to have a set of instructions with the tent. Lastly, and most unfortunately, is condensation. I’m sure part of this problem was user error, as you need particular tension to get the vent at the head of the tent to be taught. We camped 2 nights - the first was in light rain, and we woke with a thin layer of condensation all along the ceiling panels. It was enough to rain on us if we touched the ceiling. We were able to wipe it off and get it mostly dry. Night 2 though we had heavy rain that turned to sleet. We ended up with so much condensation that we had water soaking the hood and foot of our sleeping bag, and seeping up under the mats and onto the pad sheets. There was so much moisture inside the tent that we had to leave our trip early as there would be no way for us to effectively dry out gear. Overall still very pleased with this tent. We will still plan to take this on many adventures in the future, but will have to find other options for rainy or very cold trips. Hopefully in future iterations of the tent there will be better ventilation to help prevent such terrible condensation! I would still recommend this as a starter tent to anyone looking to get into backpacking. Just make sure to do a few practice set ups and maybe leave it out in the rain once to check how the condensation might affect you!

I'm getting into backpacking and need a single person tent that's lightweight and really easy to setup. The Naturehike backpacking tent fits the lightweight department, but I'm not a fan of the design, poles and setup process. The total package weight with footprint, rainfly, tent body, stakes and poles weighted in at just under 4lbs, which is very light for the complete set. The storage bag didn't have the carry handles along the length of the bag as pictured, one of the reasons I got this tent, so I can attach to my backpack through the bottom straps and cross thread through the bag handles so they don't move from the backpack when side to side movement. The accompanying bag has only an end handle to shake contents out of the bag. The other main reason why I don't like this tent is the 2 lengths of the forked tent poles on each end. The head of the tent has longer poles while the foot end uses the shorter poles. After a long day of backpacking, it would be quite frustrating to use my headlamp in the dark and think about proper alignment of the head or foot of the tent with the proper poles. With the lower foot end, I must place my sleeping pad with the pillow according to the proper end of the tent. Again something to deal with when physically drained and mentally tired. Even in broad daylight with a 50/50 chance, I had to flip the forked poles around to get them aligned before committing to attach the clips & poles. The other issue is the single pole across the top makes the top of the tent very narrow. With the rainfly on, it's pretty claustrophobic inside. There is hardly any headroom. Crisscrossed poles provides a few more inches on top which helps tremendously useful when sitting up and moving around. I'm returning this for a single person backpacking tent that is brainless for me to setup for after a long, hot day on the trails. A tent with 2 equal length poles and equal sized tent on both ends so I don't have to deal with orientation of anything and don't make me claustrophobic inside.
