The materials used to make the FlyCreek tent are definitely of a better quality than those of the CloudUp 2. However, according to what people are saying online, the difference is really negligible (again, I personally haven’t tried out the FlyCreek).

Despite this, condensation isn’t too bad of an issue in the tent because there is a sizable gap between the fly and inner tent. Moreover, because this shelter has just one vestibule, your gear space is quite limited, so you’ll likely need to stash a lot of your gear outside at night.

When comparing the weights of these two tents, you’ve got to consider that the FlyCreek HV UL doesn’t come with a ground sheet (which you will need to use because of the thin floor). That said, 3000mm will be fine for most rainy days. Just make sure to respray your tent with a waterproof coating each time the rain batters it.Composing of a 7001-aluminium skeleton, 20D nylon and silicon-coated flysheet, the Cloud Up 2 offers a light and convenient option for hiking or mountaineering from spring to autumn.

Hi folks. Today on the blog we’re taking a look at the Naturehike Cloud Up Tent. I decided to set this tent up on a sunny day and take a peek at what it can do. Note that I haven’t had the chance to actually 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 & Specifications Sleeping Accessories All those things you all ways need when camping in the wild spares and extra things to make your stay a little easierThe current version with more structure, side-stability and ventilation has some advantages over my version.

I would prefer to see two doors for a two-person tent because it can be annoying to climb over each other as you come and go. Pros & Cons Pros: More Vents on the Cloud Up 3. I never had condensation issues even with my old version of the Cloud Up 2, so this feature probably only matters if you are winter camping.

Cloud Up 2 vs. Cloud Up 3

LIGHTWEIGHT - these tents tip the scales at 1820 grams, making them hardly the porkiest tents you'll pitch!!! Ideal for lightweight hiking and expeditions.

So, this tent is actually best for two smaller campers or a single larger camper rather than two tall adults.

Weatherproof material with factory-sealed seams keeps you dry and comfortable in all season&all weather conditions!However, it is worth pointing out that even though 20D is considered a high-quality material among experts, for the tent to be genuinely ultralight, the nylon should be between the range of 7D to 15D.
