GEERTOP Ultralight 3-Season 1-Person Backpacking Tent

SteveB: First day out, I got caught in a torrential rain storm overnight. I crawled in when the rain started and worried about water coming through the fabric all night long (normally, any place you touch the outside fabric, the tent leaks).

In the morning, no water on the inside, and the tent was still up.

The one down side to the setup is that the foot end doesn't hold it's shape without support. It tends to drape, because there is only the one tie, and it's hard to get it high enough to hold the fabric tight (see setup below).

Size: This is small. At 6 feet, my sleeping bag touches the tent all the way around. It's not tight, but the contact worries me in the long-term. The gear space is nice - it fits my full height motorcycle boots as well as my soft bags and pants/jacket. It gets crowded, but for a single-person tent, it is a good size.

Setup: I eventually bought a "spare tent pole" and cut it to length. This tent needs one pole - and a hiking pole works well. But, when on the motorcycle, I don't carry hiking poles. A replacement aluminum tent pole is perfect. I also bent an arched pole for the foot end. This folds up to fit in the bag and makes the small...

PurpleGretaPurpleGreta: Worked well on the bike as it is light and small packed. Set up is very quick and tent stayed in place in calm weather. No rain or wind to test it. I'm a small frame person and had plenty head and floor room for sleeping and dressing. Used a body shapped sleeping pad and sleeping that worked well.

Amazon Customer: The product is lightweight as advertised. It is not constructed of quality material. Took out on one trip, the wind (not excessive probably around 20 mph) caused tears in the tent and the outer zipper failed immediately. Save your money and buy a better tent.

Mark Inco: Lightweight enough at 2lbs. Easy to set up for a trekker pole tent. Adequate interior space (I’m 6’1” tall, 185 lbs.) A 2nd trekker pole placed at foot end does help “guy” up the tent. Back side of tent is single wall, so condensation does occur; I keep a camp chamois towel on hand to wipe down as needed. Overall, a tremendous value for a very light 1 person backpacking starter tent. No real surprises here. Did have some minor tearing at foot-end stake-out point on 3rd use...repair or return?

Mr N.Mr N.: Fantastic lightweight tent for 1 person and extra space for kit.

I bought lightweight aluminum 8.5mm tent poles which when folded the entire length in half are the same length as and take the place of a hiking pole. These are small enough to keep in the carry pouch and weight nothing.

Total weight is now 1kg.

The tent is sturdy and waterproof and just as described.

I'm a very happy camper 😁👍

KAPPAKAPPA: La tenda chiusa è piccola e compatta, ideale per uscite ultralight, ma c'è uno scotto da pagare, la cerniera è debole e se non si sta attenti a tenerla in tensione rischia di "sgranarsi", usata a -2 gradi è stato un bagno di condensa che mi ha costretto ad asciugare le pareti diverse volte durante la notte nonostante avessi anche provato a tenere la tenda con l'entrata aperta.
Il tessuto sembra un pò delicato, sconsiglierei di montarla vicino a rami.

TchoTcho: Déjà, la tente est censé être aussi grande qu'une gourde : c'est pas du tout le cas, elle est aussi grande qu'un sac de couchage.
En suite, le poteau central qui permet de maintenir la tente est un bâton de marche à nos frais.
Si vous marchez sans bâton, prévoyez d'en acheter un.

Je n'ai pas pu la tester par temps de pluie

Paul Amirault: I purchased this tent because it was lightweight. I have set the thing up approximately 6 times and every time i woke up the tent was in my face. It could be me setting it up wrong but its pretty simple instructions. I am happy the manufacturer put up a new video of the new design being set up all I had to go on before was a video showing how to set up an older version of the tent. that being said the person setting up the tent in this new video didn't appear to do anything I didn't. if no one else is having these issues then it must be me. I will give it one more show in my backyard on the next warm day
