OneTigris Tetra Ultralight Tent, Upgraded, 1-2 Person, Waterproof, 3 Season, Ideal for Camping Hiking Trekking Backpacking Bushcraft

I definitely did not NEED another tent - I've purchased SO many in the last 3 years. Most recently a Blacktail 2 Hotel less than 2 months ago.I came across this Tetra 160. I looked at it for a few weeks knowing I shouldn't. But also knowing I eventually would. Black Friday pricing dropped, and I went for it.I've only been able to take it out once so far - even had the pleasure of putting it up the first time in the dark. And I'm already pretty sure this is gonna be my Go-To for a while.For my motocamping, this is a great, single wall, 2p tipi tent with a floor/mesh sleeping area and a large vestibule. It's lightish and smallish when packed. Easy to put up / take down, and with minimal (any?) fiddle factor - double walled tipis where you have to string up the inner mesh and then the outer fly are no fun. The venting is pretty brilliant, and also raises the "base" of the tipi so that there is plenty of room for a 6' person to not have to worry about head or feet touching the walls, or that typical, oppressive, tipi/pyramid wall-in-your-face feeling. Kudos to 1TG for using shock cord locks for the door keeper toggles. This is genius, and I've only seen it on one other tent I own (Naturehike VIK1).I just received a carbon pole extender to use my carbon trekking pole instead of the included aluminum pole.Before the pole extender arrived, I also came across (and ordered!) a custom .710 carbon tent pole from Ruta Locura.This is not to say there's anything wrong with the included aluminum pole - it is more than adequate.To compare the Tetra 160 to my new Blacktail 2 Hotel:• $180 vs the BT $300• 4lb vs the BT 6lb+• Very similar square footage (leaving out the seldom used secondary/small vestibule of the BT)Tetra 160 is 31' (94x47) and 31' vestibule (62' total)BT is 33' (90x52) and 28' main/large vestibule (61' total - secondary/small vestibule adds 9')• One pole vs the BT four poles - definitely less fiddly to put up / take down. Can use trek pole or stick (or even top loop) if wanted/needed.• Better for windy conditions (it's a tipi!). The BT, sadly (oddly), does NOT have fly/pole velcro.Needs on a future Tetra:• Two corner poles should be removable. For packing on a moto, smaller/unfixed packs better than longer/fixed. The Tetra packs down fairly small, but the built-in poles keep it from being packed down to easily half its current pack size. There's really no reason each corner couldn't be a double-ended, spiked pole, held in place with grommets on each of the corner straps (or again, sticks if needed). I typically stuff my tents and carry the poles separately (in an area where they won't break if the bike is dropped), so adding the two shorty poles to the single main pole would be great.• A full suite of mid-tent guyout points (4 corners, 4 mids) as is usually found on most tipi/pyramid tents. The Tetra has 4 oddly placed guyouts - 1 left mid, 1 right mid, 1 left-forward corner, 1 right-forward corner. Odd in that those are the only 4, and they are biased towards the front/door of the tent. I do plan on pitching it front (door) into the wind, so this setup should be mostly fine, but if the wind direction changes, I would like guyouts keeping the middle of the tent from bowing in from all directions. In the meantime, I have a set of GripClips that I purchased for the Blacktail's lack of fly/pole velcro (why, Big Agnes??), and they should work fine for the 4 "missing" guyouts on the Tetra.Wants on a future Tetra:• Gear loft / light attachment points. There are NONE. This could have been easy, even using, say, the mesh storage organizer from 1TG's WORKTOP table. Heck, go big - one in the mesh area and one in the vestibule! But minimum would be to have internal loops where each of the 8 guyout points SHOULD be. The mesh door keeper toggles are usable, but not ideal. For now, I'll be putting a 1TG Camping Lanyard (loops) over the pole, with half in the mesh and half in the vestibule (more kudos to 1TG for the half inch loop strap vs everyone else's one inch straps). And if I use the GripClips they will have internal loops as well.• Colors. The Urban Grey is much better than all of the silly/bright colors used in most tents. But I would have expected Coyote/Khaki/Green choices from 1TG.Anyway, that's way too many words to say "This tent is great!" Hopefully my [censored] moto shop will give me MY bike back soon (loaner in the pics) so I can get back to my regularly scheduled motocamping with this fantastic tent!

Debating between 4 and 5 stars for this tent. I have the “large” version with floor and netting. It is a hugely spacious one man tent, but I wouldn’t want to squeeze 2 adults into it, the floor space is just too narrow. You could squeeze two sleeping pads in but it would be tight.The ventilation makes it a great tent in warm weather; air flow is great, even zipped up for rain. more on that below. You can make it a bit lighter by using a treking pole and not carrying the included tent pole, assuming your treking poles are able to be extended enough.Setup is easy but you do need a bunch of stakes, and you need to learn the correct angle to stake out the back corners. Once you figure that out the tent goes up tight and stays tight. The tent is water proof, I’ve spent several rainy nights/days in it and it has never leaked.The huge vestibule is great for storing gear out of the weather, or for sitting under to boil water.On my scale 1.67 kg/3lb 11oz. w/o pole. Pole 310g/11ozWhat I don’t like. As stated, the ventilation is great, but in cool/cold weather or calm nights you will get condensation inside the tent (pretty much any tent does that); however, because it’s a single wall tent, and the of the angle of the walls your sleeping bag will touch the tent wall. Either your head or likely the foot of your bag will get damp. I’m 6’4” so I challenge it more than most but it will happen. I use this as a summer tent.I decided on 4 stars because it’s really too small for a 2 man tent and the tendency to wet the foot of my sleeping bag. Again not because it leaks but because the angle of the walls effectively makes the useable area smaller.

I just got this tent and set it up to inspect it and test it for being waterproof. It passed the waterproof test. The tent had an excellent build quality. There were no loose threads or other defects.Setup is a breeze. It is as simple as staking out the four corners of the tent, clicking the pole together, inserting the pole into the tent, and securing some guy lines.This tent is fairly lightweight. The materials and build quality are top notch. The tent is for the most part tall enough for me to stand up in (I am 5'11"). That feature will great for those occasions where you get stuck in the tent due to inclement weather. The vestibule is very large. The ventilation is excellent. This will be my new summer tent.I will update this review as I get a chance to use this tent more. Sorry, it is cold in Wisconsin right now, I have warmer tents, and I hate being cold.

I got this one for backpacking and camping for when it’s just me going. Super easy to setup. The ventilation is nice on this tent especially if you set it up with the door as a awning. Plenty of room for gear. And it is waterproof. It came a torrential downpour while I was camping for three hours and then a steady rain throughout the night and in the morning it hadn’t leaked at all. I was very impressed with that. It’s very light weight and very easy to take down. It’s easy to get back into it’s bag. I will say that two people can fit in it but it will be a a little tight. But really great for one person. Overall I was very impressed with this tent and quality of it.
