Terra Hiker 2 Person Tent, 4 Seasons Tent with Tent Fly, Tarp for Outdoor Activities

I bought this tent in 2018 when I was getting ready to do a 6 month term of service with the Texas Conservation Corps. I lived out of this thing for 6 months, from September to the next March. I never got wet unless it was from condensation. Rain storms, sleet , hail, this thing held up like a champ even when it got gusty. I still use it when I camp. It’s been all over Texas in every part of the start. I went with me to Arkansas twice and Big Bend. It’s breathable with the flaps open, it keeps you dry, never had any problems with the zippers, packs up nicely, it’s quick and easy to set up with the pole system. It’s just too damn heavy at 5.5 pounds or I’d be taking it with me on the PCT next year. It’s a damn fine tent, and it’s a damn shame Terra Hiker doesn’t exist anymore

So far, took this on a 2-night backpacking trip in AZ with my wife (have another trip planned to use it in a month or so). Nice and warm, but also breathable. This tent packs down to less than the size and weight of my 1-man tent (bought a few years ago). It was quick and easy to set up and the zippers did not snag. Considering virtually every other tent out there with these specs costs around twice the price, I am very pleased. There is plenty of head room for two people and the two doors/vestibules make it nice for nighttime nature calls. I look forward to taking this tent into the Superstition Mountains in early November. It's a good one. Worth the price for sure.

I have used this tent once and set it up in the back yard a few times and let it sit to see how the fabric stretches. Overall this is a nice tent for the money. Aluminum pole construction with footprint and lightweight steaks. I did find that the tent tends to stretch with moisture and suggest weathering it outside before your first trip so if in a storm things are a bit more tight. There are 3 weather cords included with attachment areas. 2 in the side with the vent in the rain fly and one in the opposite side. I would really like to see an additional loop sewn in in each vestibule to prevent that side of the tent from collapsing due to hard wind , rain, or snow. The vestibule sides on either side of the tent is the weak point. 2 more sewn in weather rope loops would make this a serious contender. You always try your best to set the tent according to the wind but mother nature always wins. The wind and weather will change. The ropes that sinch the bags that hold the tent materials are hard to work with. Ml ore so than other tents I have used. Price point it's a good product. But kissing two attachments for weather lines on both vestibule sides.

The three of us like to take kayak camping trips in the fall a lot. We will usually paddle for several miles and then setup camp for the night along the way. Since all of our camping gear has to be packed away and carried in the kayaks, space and weight is at a premium! This tent is almost a whole pound lighter than the tent we used last year. It packs down smaller too, which is nice because it needs to fit into a dry bag.I tried out the tent in the back yard so it's ready for our fall trips. The tent sets up quickly and easily (I didn't the instructions). It's roomy enough for two adults and our dog (sometimes she comes paddling too). The rain fly seems to repel water when I tested it with the hose. Nice that a fly was included. We usually don't kayak camp when rain is forecasted, but you never know... I really like that it has a access door on both sides. No one has to get rolled over if nature calls in the middle of the night or when one of us wakes up to make breakfast. Great feature! I can't wait to pack for our next trip!

DON't BUY IT!! This tent isn't worth the money at all. The zippers and surrounding material are clearly made cheaply....They get stuck constantly and are never hassle free. The rain fly is a cumbersome ridiculous mess that is either flapping noisily in the breeze when the ends aren't staked down, or making it very tricky to enter and exit the tent when they are. When the rain fly is on, the tent has very little ventilation and can get quite hot. The stakes are almost impossible to lower into the ground without a hammer, which is kind of tricky if you are doing some international camping like me and you can't bring a hammer on an airplane. I either had to a) awkwardly kick them into the ground (which required me changing from flip flops into shoes, which took even more time) or b) find a stone to hit them into the ground. Either way, this added a few minutes to the set up time. I took this tent on its maiden voyage onto a very windy sub tropical island and it failed my test miserably--took too long to setup up, left me in a vulnerable position for snakes, etc. when trying to mess with the zippers getting in and out, and just overall wasn't nearly as convenient as my last tent. Do yourself a favor and get the Alps Lynx, it is half the price of this piece of garbage and much more user friendly.

I immediately set the tent up when I received it. Seems to be fairly well constructed with the exception of one of the clips on the base. It is sewn on upside down. It will work if you twist it. Other than that it should work fine. It is a little heavy, but what can you expect at this price point. I mainly do bikepacking, so weight is not as much of an issue as with backpacking. The tent stakes are basic hook type. It seems like they used to use a better triangular type, but switched them to a cheaper shepard hook type. I like the fitted foot print and also the vents in the rainfly. Also the double door design is nice. I would have given this tent a better rating had the corner clip not been sewn on upside down and it came with better tent stakes.
