Night Cat Pop-up Camping Tent: 1 Person Tent Waterproof Instant Easy Setup Outdoor Tent

Perfect!! (Just right for a 5'5 ft person & tiny service dog). I am so happy with my purchase - the quality and the overall value for the price!! I bought this for an outdoor adventure where some unexpected heavy rains were in the forecast & I wanted to be sure I had myself & my small service dog kept dry & warm while the storm passed. Amazon was my go to. The rains were constant for most of the night, with several periods of heavy down pour. And yes, for extra fun we had gusts of wind at 15+ mph. This was not a mellow rain shower. It was the ultimate test & my first night using it... I'm happy to say WE & everything inside stayed completely dry. Even without the steaks, the structure held up well while the gusts pounded us. Also, I set up on hardened earth where water can & does come up & mildly flood with rain like this, but that was also a non-issue. I did not use any added tarp or anything under the tent & (again) we were bone dry inside all night. Now, the condensation factor is a practical issue with any tent set-up, especially in wet weather.. I was able to partially open both the side windows to allow a little cross breeze to help with that, just enough so the rain didn't get in. And instead of zipping the front door cover closed, I left it pulled to with the screen fully closed up. There was a little moisture on the under side of my bags (gear), tracing the areas of contact on the tent floor. This I anticipated. But it was manageable & definitely expected. While time with only tell the true craftsmanship quality, I feel pretty darn confident it will hold up okay. The zippers slide with great ease. The material is just solid enough that I don't see how it would puncture easily. I also don't see any faulty seams (yet) & the double taping is solid. The design while simple seems well thought out. The height is high enough that I can sit up & move around without my head touching the top. There's a hanging hook at the top of the door way & there's a pocket under one window large enough for a large phone plus keys, etc. Room on the sides for gear, around one adult sleeping bag down the center. Just nice touches. Note, this tent feels custom made for me, my size & what I need it to do. However, I am only 5'5 tall. My service dog is not more than 5 pounds, smaller than many cats. While we were comfortable, it is definitely a ONE person tent and not long enough for many probably. My ONLY suggestion would be to double check the measurement length (if you plan to sleep in it). Realize that while you can stretch your feet to the very end of the door way side, the sides of the tent are slanted, so you'll probably want to allow a little extra room so your head isn't right up against that tight corner. If you look at the tent picture you'll understand what I mean. Otherwise, what an awesome value!!

We're not campers. We don't like being uncomfortable. I'm meeting some buddies for a weekend camping trip. I'm getting there around 3am, and the tent space is all spoken for. I just got this and tossed it into the living room floor. It opened with a woosh and I was in business. Setup complete in maybe 4 seconds, including the time to pull the entrance flap out of my way to duck in. Seems relatively solidly built for a $70 tent. Seams are taped. It got stuffy in under a minute when I battened the hatches. Had the folding it back up figured out in maybe 2 minutes. Rewatched the video. First fold is easy. Second one I felt like it was going to maybe crack or something, so I stopped, watched the video a second time, and I was trying it slightly wrong maybe. Tried it again, and it folded easily. Fit right back in the bag. It'll get the real test in a couple weekends. If I don't write again, I still love it.

This tent is exactly what a tent should be. I love this thing!!! You can literally pull it out and toss it and it will pop out. It doesn't weigh anything at all. I got this to take my son on a weekend camping trip and then hoping I could strap it to my pack when backpacking as well. The camping trip went great. My son is 5, him and I were able to both sleep very comfortably in this tent with plenty of room. Moisture did soak through a bit, but nothing crazy. When the wind blows it does catch the tent a bit swaying it around. Packing this thing up can be a challenge though, it takes a little bit to get the hang of. It packs up flat and in a decent size circle, I have yet to take it backpacking but I don't see this being so easy to stap to a backpack. Weight wise would be ideal for a backpacking trip though. It seems very durable and will last a good while. Very happy with this purchase. I may get the smaller one and see if that would be more suited to hike with.

So far I'm very satisfied with my decision to purchase this tent. It's extremely easy to set up and to pack back up, especially compared to other brands of similar style tents. I'm also impressed with the attention to details of the features of this tent, especially for this price range. I'm still waiting to see how the tent will perform in rain. I will update the review with that information. *Rain Update* We had a slow moving front come through my area last night and I was able to see how this tent performed in the rain. While not a strong thunderstorm, it did rain pretty good and for a large portion of the night. Overall I was very happy with the result. PLEASE NOTE: I purchased this tent to have something quick, easy, and compact to setup and take down for an overnight sleep. As such, I don't bother to make use of the stakes. By not using the stakes the tent wasn't as taught as it should be, which caused some areas of the tent to sag and allowed some water to collect. When I awoke I noticed a couple of drops permeating through in these areas. I'm sure that if the tent were fully taught and staked this wouldn't have happened. I woke up to my self and belongings being dry and I'm still a happy camper. Please see my notes regarding rain and waterproofing below... Speaking of rain... I've seen some reviews criticizing leaks and wanted to share some information. The very first thing you should do with a brand new tent, regardless of brand, price, and claims of "waterproof" is apply a waterproofing product. These usually come in the form of sprays. From what I've read in the description is this tent's waterproofing is based on the fabric rating. You should always apply a water repelling product to a new tent - think of it as "rain-x" for your tent. Also, nothing should touch the sides of a tent as this will make water come through regardless of waterproofing. A tarp should be used for the bottom and should never stick out beyond the edge as it will give an avenue for moisture to collect between the tarp and floor of the tent. Tuck any excess tarp under the edge of the tent and under the tarp itself.

Glad I bought it. However I recommend not storing it completely folded and skip that last fold! (Those tent rods will start to crack otherwise) Its like 25% bigger skipping the last fold, not a big deal to me since the elastic cord still holds it in place. (But seriously LISTEN that very last fold is unnecessary and will eventually break it! should have just had a slightly larger bag instead of that last fold) I won't be using the carry bag bc of it, but all in all I can have this thing set up or stored in less than a minute! Also I fit fine at 5'9 I would say 6'2 would probably be close to the limit. Gonna enjoy watching my friends set up their tents for an hour while I have a drink xD

As described. Really easy to set up. Main issue is that it's too short. I'm less than 6 feet tall and either my head or feet will be pushing against the walls. Also that you'll probably wake up with a dripping cealing because of the moist. And it comes with the worst stakes ever. Bent all of them trying to hammer them down

This is a very good pop-up tent for one person the only thing that I will say is that unfortunately it does not keep rain from coming inside the tent because of the compensation of the water but other than that it’s the most perfect hint for one even maybe two people like you could put two or three kids in there so it’s pretty spacious

Appears to be decent enough once opened. Comes with 10 metal steaks and 4 lengths of Paracord. My issue came from buying one labelled like new and the box was toast, as well as it having popped seams in the carry sleeve. I bought this for an upcoming week long camping trip in April. (Mid February as of writing this) If I was in a time crunch I'd keep it and reinforce the blown seams but since I have time it's going back as I feel I should get what I pay (like new) not something with burst seams. It opened nicely and was what I was expecting. The take down was tricky but like anything I'm sure I'd get the hang of it. It is similar to the car windshield sun shades but more complex. The material is very thin and lightweight. I'm not sure how durable this would be for a backpacking tent. But the ease of setup may justify the annual repurchase in time saving. Would I buy it again? Probably not, at least not a like new Amazon repackage. UPDATE to ZERO STARS! Post camping trip. I would DEFINITELY NOT buy this again. The takedown is so incredibly frustrating I ended up just throwing it in the back of the pickup (as it had a canopy shell). Also, while sleeping with the windows all the way open air would not flow properly and my SP0² levels dropped enough that my alarms went off. Once I got the door screen fully open (flap and screen) the tent aired a bit. But not enough to trust sleeping in it. The windows are too high and too small to allow ventilation and I believe a pocket of CO2 built up in the 18in or so under the windows and that's what caused my blood oxygen to drop dangerously low. Once the doors opened and aired I was ok, this is dangerous and frankly scarry. Another MAJOR flaw is while the tent is technically long enough for an adult the angled ends drastically reduce the useable area. I am 5'11" and with a 1.5in thick air pad my forehead was pressed against the end as were my feet the other end. This made sleeping very uncomfortable and awkward. What time is saved in the popup setup is lost 10 fold when trying to fold it back up. After the trip I gave it to a friends kids as a play fort.

Very good tent

Fácil de armar y guardar.

only one door not two doors, but feels ok not too much ventilated.

Ich liebe dieses Pop-up-Wurfzelt. Gerade wenn man nur für eine Nacht irgendwo stehen bleibt, ist es wirklich genial. Aus der Tasche nehmen, auswerfen, das Zelt steht, vier Heringe rein – fertig. Genau so unkompliziert hatte ich mir das vorgestellt. Ich hatte das Zelt in Kroatien dabei und zusätzlich auch noch das größere 2 x 2 Meter Zelt von Night Cat. Bei diesem kleineren Modell ist mir allerdings aufgefallen, dass mir auf der Rückseite ein zusätzliches Belüftungsfenster fehlt. Wenn man mit dem Kopf nach hinten liegt, kann sich dort bei warmen Temperaturen die Hitze doch ziemlich stauen. Bei einer sehr warmen Nacht musste ich mich deshalb umdrehen und mit dem Kopf Richtung Eingang schlafen. Das war von der Belüftung her deutlich angenehmer. Durch die Schräge hatte man dabei zwar wirklich ein schönes Gefühl, fast wie Schlafen unter dem Sternenhimmel, allerdings liegt man mit dem Kopf Richtung Eingang natürlich auch sehr offen. Auf einem ruhigen Stellplatz war das kein Problem, aber auf einem Campingplatz mit mehr Menschen würde ich mich damit etwas auf dem Präsentierteller fühlen. Ein kleines zusätzliches Fenster auf der Rückseite wäre für mich daher wirklich perfekt. Auf einem anderen Stellplatz, etwas höher im Gebirge, war es nachts nur ungefähr 16 bis 17 Grad kühl. Dort war das Zelt dagegen ideal. Ich konnte den Eingangsbereich komplett schließen und nur die beiden kleinen Seitenfenster geöffnet lassen. Dadurch blieb die Wärme angenehm im Zelt, während durch die Seitenfenster immer wieder etwas Frischluft hereinkam. Für mich wirkt das Zelt deshalb eher wie ein perfektes Modell für Frühjahr, Herbst oder generell kühlere Nächte. Bei großer Sommerhitze fehlt mir etwas mehr Belüftung, bei kühleren Temperaturen funktioniert das Konzept dagegen richtig gut. Auch das Zusammenlegen hat super funktioniert. Beim ersten Mal musste ich mir noch einmal kurz ein Video anschauen, aber nachdem ich es zweimal geübt hatte, war es überhaupt kein Problem mehr. Danach war das Zelt innerhalb weniger Sekunden zusammengelegt und wieder in der Tasche verstaut. Wichtig beim Zusammenlegen: Am besten Fenster und Tür öffnen, damit die eingeschlossene Luft beim Falten entweichen kann. Dann funktioniert es deutlich leichter. Für kurze Zwischenstopps oder einzelne Übernachtungen finde ich dieses Zelt wirklich genial. Abends schnell aufwerfen, schlafen, morgens innerhalb weniger Minuten wieder zusammenpacken und weiterfahren. Genau dafür würde ich es jederzeit wieder verwenden und kann es wirklich empfehlen.

Etwas billig verarbeitet aber wohl dem Preis entsprechend......
