MIER Ultralight Tent 3 Seasons Backpacking Tent for 1 Person or 2 People Camping, Trekking, Kayaking, Climbing, Hiking (excluding Alpenstock)

The first test was in a thunderstorm with heavy rain. ( OFC I had a secondary shelter and my car pretty close. ) Used it by two person. I have to add, it worked and can be a shelter for 2 but ideal for one plus gear. 100% water proof. The wind is nothing to this tent. 2 small issues. The closing zips of the rainfall from inside are hard to reach and those plastic hooks at their end tried my patience. Told to be 3 season. In the UK I would go with it anywhere in any season if I have a reasonable sleeping gear. In 8 degrees , heavy rain and 40mph wind I was pretty good with a 3 season sleeping bag and a £6 inflatable mat. I did not need my coat and could not wear my sweatshirt and pants ans socks due to the weather. They were on me when I piched in the rain. All wet. Still I had a cosy warm night without any fear. I heard the noise of the wind... like a bullettrain... the constant showers but the tent did not move, did not leak. I had a pretty good night.

Love this tent! So light! Traversed the Tetons last year, backcountry Yellowstone trip this year. A true 2 person tent with room at your feet and a vestibule for each person. Great value! Went through several storms with no sealing beforehand and had no problems.

Good tent for the price. I spent a week in it this fall elk hunting. Packs down small, and I can cut sticks for tent poles instead of packing poles. It is kind of a pain to get back in the bag, but most tents are. It sets up in about 5 minutes and comes down fast too. Perfect Size for one person and gear. Too small for two. I treated all the seams with seam-sealer before taking it out. Held up in 30mph winds and pouring rain. It stayed out and stayed dry. I set big rocks in front of the stakes so they wouldn’t pull out in the wind. Overall I’m pretty happy with it.

Overall, I think this is a good, budget friendly, lightweight, backpacking tent. I am, however, disappointed in a couple of components that seem to have been altered/changed, based on what I’ve seen in all online video reviews I’ve watched. The line lock tensioners of the guy lines have been changed to an in-line style instead of those attached directly to the loops on the tent. I find this particular in-line style to be more of a pain to adjust the tension as it requires two hands instead of just one. The other change, which makes the tent more cumbersome to pitch, is the lines on the four corners of the inner tent floor body. Instead of utilizing bungee cord, the tent now simply has thin static string (same cordage as the guy lines). This inhibits being able to easily attach the outer tent fly to the tent pegs first, then later attaching the inner tent floor lines to the tent pegs. I also found the thin static cord to be too short to effectively provide a proper pitch (the outer tent ends up being tensioned all the way to the tent stakes, matching the inner tent attachment lines, thus being too close to the ground to provide proper ventilation flow from underneath). I see that lower down in the listing, the seller touts the change to static lines as “an improvement” but I see it as a downgrade (and probably a cost cutting measure). Although I have now since swapped out the thin static lines of the inner tent corners to some bungee line that I bought, I was disappointed that the tent did not arrive that way. Finally, I find it great that both the fly and inner mesh tent components can easily be set up independently. Just adding two guy lines attached to the top corner rings to then stake out the trekking poles is all that’s needed extra for the independent inner mesh setup. In the end, I still think this is a great tent (provided there’s some additional seam sealing). After a test night of hard thunderstorms, there was some water puddling inside (see photos). Some of it could have been blown inside from underneath the vestibules (as splash up), but I’ll be seam sealing the areas I think are more vulnerable to leaks.

It was spacious, it kept a roof over our head. Definitely recommend setting up before you go trekking. I made the mistake of not and did struggle as nightfall came very fast. Make sure you use the hiking poles as well’

I bought this tent last fall, have rucked with it for several months, but used it for the first time this past weekend. Easy enough setup, gave me the space I was looking for to store gear at night. Did not hold in heat very well at all. The temps go down in the lower to mid forties. It was quite chilly. I don’t know how durable the tent actually is. I noticed the compression bag has a small tear already. Not speaking to the test of time there. All in all it gave me a dry, bug free place to lay my head at the end of the day. Has space a plenty for gear and space to be comfortable.
