nice one trev , my only criticism of my banshee was a lack of vestibule/porch type area , this looks like a nice improvement, nice to sit upright in too!!

great review Trev. I have tested it in dartmoor in the winds . when you get in and out of the tent open it from the top and slowly bring the door down because of fly door touching the inner and get in the opposite side to the sleep system in casewater drips onto the sleep system. I made a mistake of dragging the tent to reposition the tent instead of lift it. so I damaged the footprint. which I fixed with gorilla tape and lots of seam seal. another tip. keep the footprint attached for when it rains. plus match the foot end to the head end as the head end is slightly wider. I used longer and thicker Y shaped pegs for the soft ground . which are light anyway. Not sure about how.ot is goingto be in winter. oh another one. you can open from top down and fold the top in and wipe with a towel to prevent drips for ventilation when cooking. I am glad you got this tent finally . Glamorgan. weighs less than my Banshee 300. . not sure about the rain getting know the top when setting up. maybe attach the hood temporarily to prevent any water getting in..maybe have a small carabiner to attach it at first before it flies in the distance like a kite. Just food for thought. Trev. I hope this comment isn't condensending. Just wanted to share what I found out in the rain and wind. Take care dude.

Still had a good night but I took photos & emailed Naturehike when i got home the following day. After a bit of a wait they offered me 40% off my next purchase from therm. I can't fault that. I like their products & customer service so far. Keep up the good work.

Glad to hear that! I think as a winter tent, this is the one for me, but yea, I have a few lighter options for the summer.

Top tip - do the first clip from the bottom of every pole. Once that's done, there's enough tension to keep them upright while you do the rest. Saves trying to keep them up one handed. Also helps to minimise the profile until you're ready if putting up in a hoolie 👍

A very useful video and a useful looking tent. Thank you. Just one observation: I completely agree with you tying the extra guy ropes on now, rather than on a hillside in wind and rain, but I would have gathered each one up and loosely tied it into a hank before putting the tent away. That way they don't get all over the place when you go to put the tent up next, but they are still attached and ready to be deployed if needed.

Hi great tent had no problems with mine. When putting the tent up alone do the bottom clips to the poles first as they will hold the poles up for you and then circle round the tent clipping up one level at a time. Wrap your guide ropes once round each of the poles when guying out for extra stability. I don't think there is much need for the ground sheet so you can save 200g or so there and also leave a bit more room in the tent bag for easy pack up.

Now that was a much smoother run than the Tigris 😅. I must admit this tent has had me tempted. Like the two doors so I wouldn’t have to be climbed or climb over to get out lol. Look forward to your outing with it Trev, thanks for a great review 😉

Nice review Trev .... the extra bit of weight in rough weather will be well worth it .... The inner has a nice tall material section which will really keep the drafts out ... saying that you will probably want to peg out those lower guy outs for ventilation ... and I think I remember there’s a special way to tie down the roof cover to stop those elastic ties flappin in the wind .... Great looking tent mate looking forward to seeing your first trip in it .... ATB Dave Mc .... ps I just pulled the trigger on the 15D Naturehike Mongar in blue but don’t tell the missus 🤫🤫

Great tent, all poles same size. The top lid which some say they nearly lost just tie with some para cord to tent outer. No messing then figuring out the orientation when raining. Only negative is footprint should just peg down not the hooks, when windy would be a phaf. Slightly heavy but the size trade off is worth it.

Great review Trev. Really nice tent. As I've mentioned in the past, I use the Banshee and the bag is one of the main reasons I got that tent. I'm wondering if Vango have a copyright on that design because I'm not sure why other companies haven't done the same. Great to see that you can put it up inner and outer together. Makes it so much easier in bad weather to throw it up. I'm looking forward to seeing you using it. I have seen Paul Messner using the Clowd Peak on his channel in some stunning pitches. Thanks again Trev. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

Trev, I own a Cloudpeak 2. It's a great little tent for the money. I went out in it in early November and found it was quite breezy. I wouldn't say it's a 4 season tent, but it's one of my go to tents for April through to October. The first time I ever pitched it, it was in the dark, peeing down with rain and blowing a hooley. We nearly lost the lid, thankfully my mate managed to somehow grab it as it flew off!! I wouldn't bother trying to roll it up when putting it away, just drop the guy lines into the centre, fold it into itself then stuff it in the bag. It will all fit in easily. One more thing when pitching it/taking it down in strong winds attach/detach the hooks in a circular motion, going around the tent as you go that way it minimises the impact of the wind on the tent. Enjoy using it, looking forward to your video putting it through its paces.

I also own the Hilleberg Allak 2 which looks very similar to the Cloudpeak 2, but at around 3.5KG it's a bit on the heavy side for long distance, solo use. But for the added warmth, strength and sense of security you get when using it I can't fault it. it's a bloody expensive tent which I paid it off over 12 months but in my opinion it's worth every penny, it's my pride and joy and I love it.

Try camping at - 5 with a howling wind at Foggintor Trev. The wind comes straight through the bottom and over your head. It's not the best at keeping the wind off your face bbbrrrrr but it's deffo not like having snow skirts where you get wicked condensation. I lived mines though and in the winds it was still very steady and sturdy. In fog it dripped water droplets from that top cover straight onto my sleeping bag, not good. I stupidly burn mines on the door cooking and then ripped a guy line out with my clumsy feet so I sold it. I will get another one but for now it's a waiting game. The tent could do with thicker poles and extra guid line if your going to use it in real high winds but for the money and weight and waterproofing it's absolutely brilliant.

@@SummitOrNothing The reason the Opulas 2 is only 1.8kg is that it's made of nylon - the drawback is that you have to keep tensioning it out once wet.

Great review Trev. Got me thinking now, do I go 4 Season inner for the Lanshan or new tent for winter camps...

Maybe let Nath set that up Trev, after the One Tigris I don’t think you should be allowed near a trekking pole tent again...

Do you have a guy out point at every point? So 6 in total? As I only have 5.

I do like this tent, just can't justify another one! Sticking with my Robens boulder 2 for the moment. Have to say, I prefer the one Tigris review though 😂

Your videos are very good !!! Thanks for the info! I have to go mountain in quite extreme climates (strong winds, -15 degrees Celsius). Which tent seems better to you, the Cloud Up 2 or the Cloud Peak 2? I clarify that I do not mind carrying a little more weight. That is not a drawback. The important thing is that the tent resists. From already thank you very much. Greetings.

Out of the two - I would say the Cloud Peak would be better suited to the more harsh conditions, but that being said, I think if I was out in those conditions more regularly, I would perhaps fork out for a more substantial tent, just for peace of mind. The Naturehike tents are great, but I am only ever out in them on the odd night!

Yea, cause most of us can't warrant splashing out on hilleberg... especially for moderate winter conditions on Dartmoor. When I'm camping in the himalayas then I guess I'll be after a more substantial tent.

Nice review that trev! I’m looking into this tent... do you rate it still/so fat? Ash 🏕

I bought one of ebay because at time they was unavailable anywhere else on the planet. Paid 220 and currently now on aliexpress there 130 i wish i waited but i wanted it so bad i thought what if it gets discontinued or something 🤷‍♂️ great video as always alb👊

How to avoid the water coming inside the tent from the top during setup? (Before you put the top fly)

Hi there, which groundsheet or footprint do you use for the cloud peak 2. There does not seem a be a specific footprint by naturehike, does it. Nice and inspiring review

@SummitOrNothing

Hi Mike. The groundsheet comes with the tent, but I have a feeling the cloud peak and cloud up 2 ground sheets are quite similar. Thanks for watching!

I would love a four season one man version of this tent. Hilleberg do the soulo but the price is a bit ott. 👍

I just use a 20lt dry bag and pack poles and pegs separate

So, do the poles attach together at the apex with a loop or something? Or are they held in place just by the tent? I like the look of it though, thanks Trev.

@SummitOrNothing

3 жыл бұрын

There are three hooks on the tent which you clip over the poles. The poles pass under each over creating a hexagonal shape at the top as opposed to meeting at a cross in one place! Apparently that gives more strength and flex in stronger winds! ( I have learnt this since recording this video!)

Trev, a pleasure as always 👍 Do you believe naturehike tent pegs could be longer for the moorland environment of mossy ground or tufty grass? Atb Taff 🤠

Cheers Taff. I've never had a problem with them to be fair. I tend to peg them almost horizontally anyway and against the direction they are likely to be pulled. They took a thrashing out on the moor this weekend but all stood their ground!

I can’t find any references anywhere if there is a difference between the Cloud Peak 1 and 2, or is there only one cloud peak. Have the adverts and videos just been labelled incorrectly? I want to buy one but a 2 rather than a 1, if there is a difference! Can anyone help?

Impressive, you managed to erect the tent without resorting to battering 3 bales of shyte out of it with a golf club...! Lovely tent, but just a little too weighty, so I'll stick with the lanshan for now.

Looks great, too big for my liking, I like to set up and pack everything up as fast as possible.

I think with a vangi style sack you could really limit the amount of time to collapse and pack. It helps having the two skins already clipped together.
