Appalachian Lightweight Backpacking Tent - Easy Setup, 2 Person 3 Season Ultralight Tent with Footprint Waterproof, Windproof, Double Layer Outdoor Tent for Camping Hunting Hiking.

I purchased this Appalachian 2 tent by Wandelen from Amazon as a lighter weight backpacking alternative to my trusty Kelty 2 person tent that Ive had and used countlesss times over the last 25 years. This tent is of similar design to my trusted regular, (and at 3 pounds lighter!), I thought Id take a chance on it. The price was so reasonable compared to others of similar design on the market, despite mixed reviews on amazon, from what I could tell overall, the odds seemed favorable. I was very pleased to receive it within a couple of days and found it well packaged. At my first attempt to erect it in my basement I found the directions simple, and intuitive by design. It set up easily in just a few minutes. I love that it includes its own perfectly sized ground cloth that ties in with the rest of the set up of the tent. It also includes a fantastic powerful little rechargeable lantern that weighs next to nothing. Maybe an ounce? The first weekend setting it up in the field on a short weekend camping trip which was a dry run for a planned upcoming backpacking adventure revealed a problem. After initial setup, when closing the rainfly the zipper split in the middle and the zipper itself came off of the zipper tape. That was a bit of a pain but we were able to improvise and adapt and were lucky that it didnt rain. Despite that set back and my disappointment that upon its first field trial there was a failure we made do and the rest of the tent had no issues at all. NOW BEFORE CONTINUING FURTHER WITH THIS REVIEW I MUST TELL YOU THIS; that after our camping trip I reported the problem with the rainfly zipper directly to Wandelen and within a day received an email saying how sorry they were for the failure and that they wanted to make things right for me as their customer by immediately sending me a replacement. Not just a new rainfly as I had requested, but an entirely NEW TENT!!! I cannot say enough good things about how I well I was treated by this company. The gentleman by the name of Jonathan who I was in contact with was so professional and courteous in multiple email correspondence. In this day and age it is refreshing to find a company with people who truly care abut their customers the way this company and its employees do. He told me they were express shipping me a new unit and it would arrive within two days which it did. Thank you Jonathan and Wandelen for being a company that backs up its product and cares about their customers as if they were family!! Now, back to the review: I was pleasantly surprised all around by the overall performance of the tent from the ample space there was for two people (I'm 5'9" and my wife is 5'8") and our sleeping matts, pillows, and some of our gear to the door zipper operation, the built in vent, and the fact that it has so much screen for star gazing. The tent is very well designed and you can tell it was designed for backpakers by backpackers. The only thing I would change about this tent is the amount of vestibule space available. It was not big enough for both of our backpacks. We could only just get one within it and with barely enough room to get past it if we had to get up in the night. Its really just meant for smaller items such as boots, or shoes. So be sure to pack a rain cover for your pack when using this tent. It would be great if in future iterations of this tent they could make the vestibule a bit longer to the front and with closer coverage to the ground. In any case I will defintely be using the new tent on future backpacking trips and will update when Ive tried out the new rainfly on the new tent! Thank you again Wandelen!! Well done! Customer service done right!

Great little tent! Easy set up. I like that the pole assembly is all one piece. No threading poles over other poles, with the back and forth. Easy 1 person task. Tight space for 2 adults, but it is a backpackers tent. Not a lounger. It fits my kid and I easily, and we've had several trips out. Stiching holds up well, pole elastic is still strong. We have yet to encounter rain, but with how it all feels now, I doubt it would fail us. Enjoy!

Pretty decent tent. Got it for kid's backpacking, I didn't want to carry much weight and the other half doesn't like the kids using tarps.I also didn't want to buy a 500 dollar tent.This tent packs down small and is light for a double wall shelter. walls and floor very thin, that's where they're saving weight. I don't think the floor will be in one piece for very long. That's okay, I'll use the included footprint for a fastpack pitch.

I am amazed by this tent!I decided to unpackage immediately after I received it and try it out. First thing I noticed is that is it very lightweight and comparing the costs of other ultralight tents, this one is really affordable and exceeds my expectations weight vs cost.When I started to take out the tent out of its bag, I noticed that it was very easy and fast since its design with compression straps helps a lot to unpack and pack back-in compared to the stuffed bags version.I mounted the tent on my backyard and I didn’t need the help of anyone! I was able to mount it in less that 5 minutes without reading the instructions, which btw, it took me almost the same time to find it hahahaha… it is sown to the bag (instructions) 😊The materials at touch have a resistant and durable feeling, all the seams are double taped and the stakes and poles are solid. I used a rock to bury the stakes in the ground and they did not bend.Overall, I am impressed and very happy of my purchase, recommend 100% quality vs value and I hope the provider brings up more products! I forgot to mention that it includes a free lamp which is a nice touch. Highly recommended!!!

I used the tent during a 6 day motorcycle and camping trip in Colorado.Pros: Light weight, compact and easy to set up.Cons:1. Hard to get in and out of the tent. Small opening2. I'm 5'9" tall and barely fit in the tent lengthwise. Two people in the tent would have been difficult3. One of the aluminum tent poles bent during set up on the 5th night4. Does not hold up well during high winds because it only has one support pole to support the roof ofthe tent

Took this tent on the Superior Hiking trail. It performed beautifully. It is lightweight, durable in high winds and rain, and sets up in less than 5 minutes. I set up and tore down this tent over 30 times with no issues. It is perfect for one person and a backpack. If you are looking for a tent that will keep you warm in cooler temps and dry, this tent works very well.

The “stuff sac” the whole tent came in was great as it opens up wide, you plop everything in, then fold a flap over before cinching it up around a huge opening. No annoying “having to roll it just right” to get it back in. Getting this tent for some 2 person backpacking along with solo backpacking with my 70lb pitty. It should work perfectly, though for all 3 of us it would be tight but that’s because the pup insist on cinnamon rolling in the middle. Love how light it is, as a small woman it should be easy to fit in my pack for solo trips. Everything looks high quality, setup of the tent took about 10 minutes the first time. Looking forward to testing it out in the WMNF! Large husband for scale.Update: used this up near Baxter state park Maine in the rain, totally dry, worked great for me and my 70lb pitty

My son is a Geology major and flew out to spend a month in the Rockies for research. I purchased this tent based on reviews, so I am rather upset that the kid got out there and at 8,000 ft elevation currently only to find out that the red pole part that holds up the tent is stripped and will not stay connected! So my 20 yr old kid is without a tent! This is a mother's nightmare. We unpacked all of it before he left to make sure everything was in there but never anticipated this! Thankfully he was able to get the fellow researchers to help get him another one for his time there.

This tent was great until about a week and a half into our family hiking/camping adventure.After weathering wind, rain and storms of the Norwegian highlands relatively well, all three of our tents collapsed within 24 hours. It seems they all finally reached their limit. This was not after 2 years, or even one year. All three of our tents failed after only two weeks of use. Not in a big storm, but after a few nights of moderate wind.And they all failed at the same point: the joint above the door where three red poles should be securely seated. The aluminum disk where the poles are seated was not able to withstand the repeated flexing in the persistent moderate wind. With the seats warped from fretting, they could no longer hold the poles which were now free to slip out and rip holes in the tent fabric.Perhaps the design was good but this part was outsourced to a cheaper supplier. Or maybe this is built-in obsolescence and the tent is only meant to last a week.I spent a day repairing all three tents so we could make our way back to civilization, but our fun family adventure was essentially over from that point because we had put our trust in this product. It was with disappointment that we make the long slog back, cutting short our epic trip by a week.We tried, but have not been able to get any response from Amazon or the manufacturer.Poor customer service just compounds the failures of the product. Failure to own up and take responsibility for the decisions that led to this equipment failure ensures that I cannot recommend this company's products to anyone.

Passt, muss sich noch bewähren.

Had this tent on a five day hike in alpine country during the summer and it worked well. It did what it promise to do and kept dry even if it rained constantly. You have to pitch the inner tent before you can cover it and that brings the total down a bit but are satisfied with this tentBonus points because it works for me as a tall man and my head didnt touch the inner tent

Used this on wild camping. So far only in the summer and with fair weather. I have the two man tent for me and my seven year old son. Plenty of space. No issues with condensation when it is set up and guy roped appropriately. I would recommend. The only annoyance is I’m 2 pegs less than needed to fully peg and rope out.

Con la seguente recensione andrò a mettere in mostra i pro e i contro in modo che l'utente riesca a capire se il prodotto possa fare o meno al caso suo. (Ovviamente questo è un mio parere personale. L'ho usata per una settimana di cammino in montagna)Pro:- Leggerezza.- Compatta.- Alta resistenza all'acqua.- Possibilità di montaggio anche senza la camera interna, lasciando solo il guscio e il sotto telo. (peso dimezzato)- Facilità di montaggio, grazie all'arco unico.- Picchetti in alluminio.- Involucro/sacca dell'intera tenda ultra compatto e leggero.- Facilità di chiusura ed inserimento nella borsa.Contro:- Catino molto sottile, facile rovinarlo o tagliarlo se il suolo non è perfetto.
