Clostnature Crux Lightweight Tent for Backpacking - 1/2/3/4 Person Ultralight Backpacking Tent, Waterproof Easy Setup Camping Tent, Hiking Tent for Outdoor, Hiking and Mountaineering

I used this tent on a week long solo hunt in Central Missouri. It rained and thunder stormed almost every day. I was under an old oak tree and had acorns falling on the tent all night long. This little tent was easy to set up and kept the rain out without issue. It is fairly lightweight and takes up a small footprint. I highly recommend this tent. It is important to note that I sprayed the tent with waterproofing spray prior to using it.

Good quality, light weight and easy set up. I would not recommend for below 50 degree weather. It does stay warm and the vent flaps are a nice feature when the rain fly is on. Also, it's not made for very tall people. It may be a bit uncomfortable to folks taller than 5'10 or so. (i'm 5'7).

I just got this tent today and I bought it for a Bushcraft class I’m going to be taking. So I’m no stranger to primitive camping and light weight backpacking. In fact, I’m kind of a gear freak. That said I set it up, but I haven’t actually used it yet. So I’m going off first impressions and I’ll update this once I field test this tent.I bought this tent because it’s similar to the Alps Lynx-1 tent, but at the time I bought it $20-$30 cheaper, with similar reviews.So the tent goes up easy. Set up is straightforward and common sense. My first time setting it up with no instructions took about 3 minutes without even trying to rush. I’m 5’9” and bounce between 195-200lbs. That said, there’s plenty of room for a guy my size to sleep and even sit up in there. It does very much resemble the Lynx-1. The connection for the pole are different than the Lynx-1, but still very straightforward. The tent is free standing and being a minimalist, I only used a total of 4 tent stakes. One on each corner to hold it down, one for the vestibule (which is definitely roomy enough for a pack to be stored in), and one for the back side of the rain fly.What I didn’t like is that I thought I was buying a brand new tent, but this tent has definitely been used. The poles showed signs of wear on them and the floor of the tent had dead bugs and dried grass. This is why I gave the three stars. The tent seems functional enough to me, but when I’m told I’m buying a new item, and pay for a new item, that’s what I expect to get.UPDATE AFTER FIELD TESTING:Ok, so I got a chance to use this tent in the field in Ohio, in early March. I put the tent up in under 3 minutes in the field (after practicing prior to the trip) in the rain with zero issues. The tent stood up strong on a hill top through 12 hours of hard rain. When I went to get in it at night I was pleasantly surprised to find the inside bone dry. After the rain stopped that night there were wind gusts up to 40 mph. There were times I thought the poles were going to snap from the wind, but they did not. Aside from sleeping in it in a hurricane, I’m not sure it could have had a more solid field test. This tent is solid! I would have no issues recommending it to anyone in the future.

It's a one person tent with no gear, period. It's light and easy to set up and remained strong after two or three uses.

I'm someone who appreciates a spacious tent while out camping or backpacking, and this thing is like a pop up mansion in the woods! It's also very easy and quick to set up taking about the same time as a small solo tent. The velcro vents in the rain fly is a really nice feature. I really appreciated how warm it was when the clouds rolled in and it got cold and wet. Not necessarily a heavy tent, but for backpacking it's a little excessive, but it does get pretty compact which I appreciated!

Easy to assemble and quick! Light weight and nice to use for hiking a 7 day trip, 100 miles.

This tent is every bit as good as similar $200 tents! Top quality in every regard! At this price, it is a steal!!! Factory taped seems that look great and double reinforced corners are unheard of below $200 tents!

I bought this tent for the rare situations when I want the smallest enclosed tent possible. Even though a 2-person tent doesn't take up much more space in a pack than a 1-person tent, sometimes you just need to save every cubic inch.For those cases, this tent is just fine.The good:* It's small. Inside the included compression sack, it's about the size of a loaf of sliced bread — maybe a shade larger. It's also very light.* It's dead simple to put together. Without even reading the instructions, it took me maybe two and a half minutes to set up. I'm not bragging, there's just not much to figure out here.* Taped seams: I haven't tried it in the rain, but getting taped seams at this price is very nice.* Comes with a hanging organizer, which you will certainly need, because there's no room to store anything in here (for example, laying your eyeglass on the ground next to you would be a terrible idea in this very cramped tent).The bad:* I'm 5'10, 250 lbs, and if I lay down in it with my arms at my sides, my elbows touch the sides of the tent. In a sleeping bag, I'm pretty much squeezed in like a sardine. I know, I know: I bought a small tent, that's the whole point. But if it were like... 10% larger, I think it'd be just about perfect.* It does not feel especially durable. Time will tell on this, but I suppose you get what you pay for.* Because of the size, you can pretty much only sit up in one spot, right in the middle of the tent. Again, that's what you get with a small tent, but the center of the tent is where the organizer hangs, so if you're storing anything, you can't even sit up without bumping into it.* I'd love to have another organizer pocket somewhere in the tent, because, as mentioned, you can't store anything on the ground.Overall, though, happy with the purchase at this price.
