Hi folks. Today on the blog we’re taking a look at the Naturehike Cloud Up 1 Tent which is the perfect tent for Backpacking, Camping and Hiking. I decided to set the 1 man tent up on a sunny day and peek at what it can do. I haven’t had the chance to go on an overnight trip with this tent yet, so I can’t comment on how it holds up in the elements! But stay tuned for a full review once I’ve had the chance to try it. Let’s dive in and take a look!
Overview / Specs
– Reviewing the Naturehike Cloud Up 1 Tent
– Sleek Design with similarities to the Big Agnes Fly Creek
– The design of the tent involves a single-pole construction
– One pole fits together in a Y-shape and clips into the rest of the tent, making it freestanding
Size & Weight
- Tent Size: 210 × 110 × 100 cm
- Storage Size: 41 × 13 × 13 cm
- Tent weight is 1.5 kg
Features
The Naturehike Cloud Up has a pack size of just 41cm x 13cm x 13cm, so comparable to other Ali Express tents we’ve looked at on the blog. The tent inside space is 210cm in length x 110cm in width and 100cm in height (83 × 43 × 40 in).
Materials
The Naturehike Cloud Up is made from 20D Silicone, with a 4000mm rated hydrostatic head – somewhat higher than average for tents in this price bracket. The size 2000mm certainly tends to be more common, so there is an instant waterproofing advantage there. The pole is made from 7001 Aluminium alloy, and – like the Taga – the Cloud Up 1 we got came with a separately included groundsheet.
The design of the Naturehike Cloud Up is ideal for poor weather conditions, giving reliable shelter with resealed corners and seams.
First Pitch Of The Naturehike Cloud Up
Pitching the Cloud Up 1 was very straightforward. It certainly helps only having 1 pole to worry about! The buckles on the fly clip right into the inner tent, and it only needed very minimal adjustment for a respectable first pitch.
Like with the Taga, incorporating the groundsheet didn’t feel very intuitive, although I did manage to get it done. But in all honesty, I’m not super hot on groundsheets most of the time anyway. My view is that unless you’re going somewhere particularly rough and rocky, you probably won’t need it.
Space & Storage
As you can see from the photo below, the Cloud Up 1 has only 1 entrance and vestibule. Although the vestibule doesn’t leave huge amounts of space for gear storage, it looks perfectly adequate for 1 person on a relatively short trip.
Snap verdict
So, what’s the verdict after our first look at the Naturehike Cloud Up Tent? We went into this expecting to find a perhaps slightly lower quality (given the price) version of the Big Agnes Fly Creek. But to be honest, the quality of craftsmanship looks very impressive. I would say almost comparable to the Fly Creek itself.
The only downside I can see is the relatively limited gear storage space. Although the Cloud Up 1 is also a little heavier than some of the other tents we have reviewed, it should be kept in mind that it’s both double-skinned and freestanding. Taking that into account, both the weight and price of this thing
That’s all we’ve got for now folks. I hope you enjoyed this first look at the Naturehike Cloud Up and click here to purchase today. Got any great tips or stories from using this tent?
