Night Cat Backpacking Tent for One 1 to 2 Persons Lightweight Waterproof Camping Hiking Tent for Adults Kids Scouts Easy Setup Single Layer 2.2x1.2m

It might be a bit small for two people, but it is great one person tent. I have enough room for my cot in there, and I sleep great in this tent. Perfect for camping, but a little to heavy for backpacking. It is easy to setup, and handles weather well. I have used mine about a half dozen times now and it has done a wonderful job in wind and rain.

TLDR; The Night Cat Backpacking Tent offers exceptional value for money with its quick setup, impressive waterproof rating, and very compact packed size. It is a spacious and reliable option for solo campers and a functional, though snug, shelter for two, making it an excellent budget-friendly choice for hiking and short backpacking trips. My initial thought when looking for a compact shelter was to find a balance between low weight and true weather protection, without the high cost of premium brands. The Night Cat Backpacking Tent (likely the dome model with fiberglass poles) stands out as a strong budget option. I chose this tent primarily for solo backpacking trips, where its low weight (around 4.4 lbs / 2kg for the 1-2 person dome) and tiny packed size—smaller than a loaf of bread—are a huge asset for fitting into a packed rucksack. The setup is remarkably quick and simple, easily done in about a minute, which is perfect after a long day of hiking. The material's high waterproof rating (often quoted as PU 3000mm) with taped seams gives me great confidence that it will stand up to the unexpected heavy rain that can crop up on a trip. For one person, the space is comfortable, leaving plenty of room for my pack and gear. As a two-person tent, it is definitely a snug fit, better suited for a couple or one adult and a child. For the price, the weather protection and ease of use are truly impressive. Upgrade Tip: While the base waterproofing is adequate, using a sealant like Sawyer's aerosol waterproofing spray is a very good upgrade to enhance the longevity and reliability of the rain protection, as the factory waterproofing can be lackluster. Pros Super Fast Setup: Simple dome design (or pop-up models) allows for assembly in about one minute, making camp easy and fast. Excellent Water Resistance: Features a high PU waterproof rating on the polyester fabric (often 2000mm-3000mm depending on the model) with taped seams, offering reliable protection in heavy rain. Lightweight and Compact: Weighs around 4.4 lbs (2kg) and packs down to a very small size (approx. 16.5"×4.7"×4.7"), ideal for minimal-bulk backpacking. Great Ventilation: Includes mesh doors and/or roof vents to ensure airflow, minimizing condensation buildup. High Value: Delivers a feature set and weather resistance typically found in more expensive tents. Cons Snug for Two: While advertised as 1-2 person, it is very snug for two adults—it is an ideal spacious solo tent. Fiberglass Poles: Some models use fiberglass poles, which are heavier and less durable than aluminum poles found in higher-end backpacking tents. Thin Floor: The floor material may be the same as the walls; a separate ground cloth or footprint is highly recommended to protect against rough terrain. Verdict The Night Cat Backpacking Tent earns a 5-star rating as an outstanding budget and entry-level backpacking tent. It is worth the price for anyone seeking a highly portable, quick-pitching, and reliably waterproof shelter without breaking the bank. It is best for solo campers, beginners, casual hikers, and anyone prioritizing a compact size and ease of use over an ultralight gram-counting design.

Very nice , a lot of space keep you warm , cool night , keep rain and they do off.You hold your heat in the tent while your camping base blanket.It's all you need very versatile

Great for the price, been abusing it for 3 years on several backpacking trips with at least a hundred setup and take downs. Plenty room for me and my 95 pound dog, I can sit upright in it, very light for its price, been through rain and snow storms. Only problem is I ripped the stuff sack but probably my fault. I don't like having to slide the poles through the sleeves which is the only reason I'm thing about replacing it with the upgraded version. Highly recommend.

Bought this because it was lightweight and I needed something of that nature for a hiking trip. It turned out to be perfect! Not one was it actually lightweight but it was simple to put together, fit in my pack great, and I had more than enough rom for myself, my dog, and my gear!

The tent fabric itself seems good. In an actual storm, that dental dam of a rain fly wouldn't last. The poles are a certain diameter fiberglass, with something like a thick shrink tube. When the poles connect, the shrink tube layer tears or slides, leaving an entirely too small diameter for the hole 🤫 the elastic is too flimsy in the poles so sections pop out. The pole pegs for the corners pop off even with the swedge. No tarp material bottom. The tarp bottom and rain fly were what I expected for $43. I guess the poles are probably the most expensive part anyhow

Night Cat is a reputable brand. I know a few others that have there items including this tent. However I finally got to the point to where I was able to finally set it up and was inspecting it for damage. I found a miniscule tear/hole in the back of the tent. It was not on the seam but the back tarp. This tear will effectively prevent protection from the elements and also will not stop critters in getting inside the tent while sleeping. However, the ease of setup is simple. 2 spiderweb poles being draped over the tent makes for a quick setup and a quick disassembly. The only reason for the 1 star is the fact that it has a hole/tear in the back tarp completely ruining the idea of a tent.

Easy to set up, compact, and more spacious than I expected when set up. The tent is kind of water proof. The corners of the tent were allowing water to flow in during the rainstorms, but it wasn’t too bad. The bottom of the tent is fairly thin and easily punctured. I used it for a week and ended up with two small holes in the bottom, along with 60 ants. I killed the ants and put teetree oil over the holes, and the ants stopped coming in. Overall it is a good product, but could definitely be improved

This is a good little tent, it's only downside is it's single skin. Bought this tent to use on the beach when night fishing, somewhere to get my head down for a couple of hours between tides. It's reasonably light to carry, easy to put up, and has enough room for one person and some gear. The only issue I found with the tent was slight condensation, admittedly when pitching on a beach the relative humidity is naturally going to be high, so condensation is going to be unavoidable. I can say that the tent doesn't leak ,as I have used it on rainy nights. All in all a good little tent for the money.

Great little tent. Perfect for short stays or in my case, motorbike holidays. Easy to set up and pack down. Doesn't take up a lot of space. Excellent buy!
