About this deal
The Naturehike Cloud UP is available in two materials: 20D Nylon – which we assessed – and cheaper, but heavier and less weather resistant 210T Polyester.
After the structure is erect it can be moved around easily like a freestanding, but the rear corners need pegging out else the inside tail of the tents sags. This is an optional extra – sometimes quite a costly one – on most of the other tents we assessed and it’s good to see it included. EASY TO SET UP: It is an outdoor tent that can be quickly assembled in 5 minutes and can be easily assembled by one person according to the procedures and instructions attached to the inside of the outer bag. This was easy to set up and is lightweight, but it just didn’t meet the comfort level we wanted for its space.
To be clear, it uses a very similar structure to many of the other tents in this round up, and on a fundamental level, it’s no more difficult to setup than these, but none the less, we hit problems: the written instructions and diagrams provided with the tent were very scant and, in fact, we found the diagrams confused matters at points. The vestibule zips up close to the top of the inner door and there is very little overhang, which means in inclement weather if you unzip the outer door you risk getting water inside.
Of note, Naturehike also include a matched footprint to sit beneath the tent in the Cloud UP package. Whatever weather conditions you’re camping in, the Cloud Up 2 can be pitched in under 5 minutes by a single camper.
