- Have you ever heard of Naturehike and the Cloud UP 2 Person Backpacking Tent? Its actually a pretty good, lightweight, backpacking tent at an affordable price. But before I could recommend it I wanted to put the Cloud Up 2 through its paces with a good rain test and more. And what I found is for the price the Cloud Up 2 is a really good tent. It holds up to rain well, comes with some decent features and most of all its affordable at $165 (at the time of this recording). So check out this review to see weather or not the Cloud Up 2 is good enough for you.

Naturehike Cloud Up 2:
Let's be realistic this tent is high quality they use these all over the place in the UK. The real issue is that other brands are extremely over priced. I have had the star river 2 for years and it will go toe to toe with any expensive tent and they come with free foot prints. And let's stop talking about foot print weight that does not make a difference. The modular designs are way beyond the competition.
I've got a Cloud Up 2 - taken it out backpacking a half dozen times. All-in-all, I like it. it seems loosely based on the Big Agnes Fly Creek, but at half the cost (and is truly freestanding, unlike the Fly Creek). Pros: It's relatively lightweight, easy to set up, just big enough for me, my dog, and my gear, yet still small enough to be set up in small spaces. Cons: I'm not crazy about the front-opening (it's kinda awkward getting in and out if you're sleeping with your head by the door, which appears to be what they intend) and condensation can be a bit of an issue, since there's no vent at the head end of the fly. Oddly, I've found sleeping with my head at the foot end addresses both of these cons pretty well, since the fly has a vent at the foot end.
Great review and a great little tent! The price of 119 dollars is for the polyester version and 165 dollars is for the nylon version. A little difference in price, weight and qualities.
This was my home for a month whilst i did a 400 mile hike in the UK. I had 50 mph and nights with heavy rain for 8 hours and this little tent coped with everything the elements through at it. One thing that wasnt mentioned in the video was pitch time. It is such a simple little tent and i had pitch time down to a shave under 4 minutes from arriving at camp to sitting inside. An excellent option for anyone wanting to explore the outdoors, not just beginners.
Got this for 87 bucks today (amazon prime day) for my 12 year old..can't wait for him to test it!
I had a Naturehike Cloud Up 1 and, it a very good tent, but I was disappointed, with the lack of headroom and the shape of the footbox area. I'm sure the 2p version would've been much better.
The $165 version is 20D nylon. The $90-120 version is the same except 210T polyester, which is good too (just weighs a little more)
i have the cloud up one for a few years now, and its been well used on bike-packing adventures, its a great tent, its never let me down in rain storms. i'm currently looking to also purchase the the cloud up 2 this year so i have more room for longer adventures. highly recommend this tent for the price
3 years later and it's $109. And they actually do make a Four Season version now with a snow skirt
The CloudUp2 has a couple of versiosn besides just the Nylon v Poly choice, they have the update version with vents at front and rear - and also the version with snow flaps. I think the snow flaps is where they're saying "4-season", not the regular style. I have the snow flaps and they're awesome at eliminating cold drafts (camping winter in NZ) and in strong winds (beach camping in Western Australia, just pile sand on the flaps and it is solid as a rock)
This is a great tent. Don't let anybody fool you into believing this is a 'beginner' tent or entry level. I think a lot of people try and find fault with it because it's priced so far below comparable tents.
My husband and I have this tent and we are BEGINNER campers/hikers. BOTH times we've camped with this tent it has rained all day/night and despite SOME condensation, we stayed dry and warm. During one night's HEAVY thunderstorm we had a few drops of condensation on us but overall I felt very impressed with how it held up.
I have a hiking business and hike for days on end, I completed a 1000 km trail here in heavy rain and strong winds; I have never been dripped on, and the 2 person is not heavy. Naturehike are great tents, full-stop.
You couldn't explain it better than that Man !! I have 3 tents fron Naturehike plus all my motorcycle gears are from this brand since 2016 and none of them have failed in any circumstances or wheather conditions !!

Just used mine for the first time a few weeks back. Was very impressed, just enough space for two cots and my dog, with our gear in the vestibule.
Thanks for the review of this tent. I've had it for two seasons now and take it on bike tours with me. Never had a problem. This tent will be great for anyone looking to try out camping and not break the bank. When I purchased it, I paid closer to CAD $200, but I consider it money well spent.
I used my Cloud up 2 for the first time this June and I love it. I'm about 5'-10" and a little over 200lbs, so the 2 person is just right for me and maybe a skinny girlfriend, but not a buddy lol. I looked for month for a budget tent and this one was the best I could find. This tent is replacing the Mountain Hardwear Optics 2.5 which is also a great tent with alot more room but it weighs twice as much.
I had this tent for 3 years and it served me pretty well. My main issue with it was the front entrance, felt like I had to be a gymnast to get back into the tent over my sleeping pad after getting up in the night. I've upgraded to the Durston X-mid and the side entrance is much easier to navigate!
