I have a 4 person version from 4 years ago. I love the tent. 100% waterproof with amazing ventilation. I do use aftermarket aluminum stakes. You can stakeout the fly on my version but the included bungee attachments were insufficient. Some added 550 cord solved that. The only thing I didn’t like was the yellow color. All in all I would definitely recommend this tent! Awesome review!
To start I’m 5’ 11 And I have the 3 man version . It doesn’t have the condensation problem you ran into with one man . I slept in it during a torrential downpour . When I set it up it had just started raining and by morning there was a couple inches of water surrounding the tent. Luckily this version has 2 doors and 2 vestibules . There was a dry spot at back of tent so luckily I could get out . It stayed dry the whole time it was like walking on a waterbed there was that much water . I recommend you trying the 2 or 3 man Version. The 3 man is really two adults and room for gear.
Grateful for your channel but more importantly, your integrity! After watching all your videos on this particular tent, I purchased one and am not looking back. First use was a great success! And many more to come. Thank you!
I very recently acquired the Mountain Ultra 4-person unit, I've used it (almost) every weekend thus far in and around Central PA and the surrounding DMV territories. I 100% agree with every single pro you mentioned about this single-person unit; I'll gladly mention that due to the increased size of my bigger unit, even in rainy/humid conditions, condensation has been totally eliminated from the equation and is not a concern - quite literally ZERO build up anywhere. Thanks for reviewing this! I've been looking into the single-person unit for solo backpacking on some weekends and think it will do just nicely
I have owned the 2 person tent for about 1 year and it's a good fit for 2 average sized adults shorter than 6 ft. I used it on 2 solo camping trips without issue, but on my first camping trip with my wife, she managed to tear the tent around the zipper. The mesh is delicate and doesn't stand up to an impatient person wanting to get in or out hastily. I haven't patched the tent yet, but plan to do so before my next trip coming up soon. I don't see the ripped mesh being a huge issue, but be mindful of the mesh around the zipper and use 2 hands to open and close the zipper. Impatiently yanking hard with one hand when the zipper isn't moving, doesn't do the tent any favors.
I wonder How Am. Indian enters/exit a TP. Very good observation to use caution to hold tent w both hands WHEN zipping to close or zipping to open ; Another hurdle is respecting bathtub or other few inch high tent material to clear w knee & feet while slowly crawling through entrance.
Happy Father's day my friend Luke and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures testing different equipment and sharing the facts and truth about the equipment.
Thanks for the great review Luke!! I decided and went with the 2 person ultra after seeing the dimensions. I’m 6’3 so knew right away the one person was a no for me. That being said, and for a tall person the two person tent is amazing!!!! Have used it in many conditions and very pleased with everything! Thanks again
That size is interesting. I have the Mountain Ultra 2 for car camping and I think that thing is HUGE for a 2 person tent. My partner and I joke that it's BARELY smaller than our Kelty Trail Ridge 3.
I have a thick, heavy canvas shell 0 degree sleeping bag from Teton I keep for possible blackouts or just extra cold Winter nights. It'll basically cook you. Happy with it.
hey Luke how are you?....hope all is well. I love the content, been watching the channel for about a year and not even close to caught up, your impartial reviews are the very thing that everyone should watch before buying equipment. I DO have one tiny issue, I watch your videos late...between 11pm and 1am...and many times the volume goes from comfortable to Blaring when you get close to the camera, maybe I'm just one voice on this. anyway, love your work, keep giving us the great information !!!!!
The thumbnail for this vid caught my eye as I have a very similar tent from another company which is the Atom from New Zealand company Zempire. Similar size 1p tent that is slightly roomier than the Litefighter LF1. It has a 5000mm fly with 75D ripstop fabric, a 10,000mm floor and weighs just under 4lbs. I’ve seen it for sale at REI for US $179. I’ve used mine in heavy rain and never had a leak. The fly is away from the inner mesh so the airflow is excellent. The Teton looks good value but I can definitely recommend the Atom.
Can't wait until you test the 4 person version, I am a large guy ( 6'4",260) and I use an xl size cot and have been searching for something other than the massively heavy canvas wall tent to take camping.
So happy I stumbled across this tent. Just moved to NC and I've been looking for an all mesh tent for the hot summers here. Specifically for car camping, So weight doesn't matter. Just wish this tent came in some Earth tones. Not a bright color tent kinda guy. Might get the grey.
Luke I’ve watched all your videos for over 2 years, I only have one comment you hardly ever wind test the tents! I live in the U.K. and many people here wild camp in exposed sites so waterproofing is important but also will it still stand up in a gale or storm weather! Will it stand up in 50+ mph winds. Many tents simply do not work in a storm!
Very true most moorland or costal camping in the UK is windy. I have tried a few of. The US tents like Big Agnes AND MSR and they struggle bad in even moderately strong winds. All the reviewers mainly are in sheltered woodlands and trails from many US reviewers
Like all tents, it makes a lot of noise flapping with the wind. I was kept up one night due to 35 km winds and the tent was just fine. No tears or damage in any way. I tightened the guy strings and the noise was reduced, but hours of flapping in the wind loosened them up by morning.
Incredible tent for the money. The larger versions do allow you to pull the fly away from the body. After my 1st use, all i could think was, Luke was 100% correct!
Happy Father's day Luke! I hope to see your review on the larger version. You always do a great review and can't wait for your next adventure and review
Hey Luke, happy Father’s Day! Great job as always. We really appreciate how you take your time to get everything right. Keep up the good work. The funny thing about that Amazon review is, they actually did have a rewards program for Marlboro smokers years ago. I think one of the prizes was a tent. My dad got me a Swiss Army knife one Christmas!
Happy Father’s Day! It’s a nice tent but everyone at Teton must be your size , I’m 6 foot and 175 # and it’s snug , may give it to my grandson. I have a geartop 2 persons and it’s great also and budget friendly.
Happy Father’s Day! Look forward to the larger size reviews. I’m 6’4” so this wouldn’t work. Looking for great quality like these from Teton. Any recommendations for this old guy?
Looks like a great tent for the price. I do not mind a small tent; I actually prefer it in most cases. If I am car camping, I use my Kodiak Canvas tent. As far as the tent stakes goes, who cares, I can buy the cheap ultralight ones from walmart. The thing that will stop me from buying this tent is the ventilation/condensation issue. I do not mind sleeping in a small space but getting wet in the wilderness sux, drying gear can be difficult, and it can be a big safety concern.
I have the 3400 backpack and love it and I use the 5500 for winter camping. The waist belt was smaller on the 5500, so I made an extension out of paracord. I don't know where I found the info but if contact Teton Sports they will sell you an extension. They charged me $6 including shipping.
I have the older versions in both 1 and 3 person and they are awesome tents especially for the price and quality. The reduced size of the 1 person now would be a deal breaker though
I’ve been a subscriber since right after you created your channel. You seem to be a pretty honest guy but you say things are bought with your own money. That’s just simply not true they’re bought with patreon money. You should acknowledge that and thank your patreon supporters. Because you’re making out very well for yourself because of them.
Luke, currently the TETON® Sports 2 Person Tent is available from Marlboro using their points system and is equivalent to 540 packs of cigarettes, so the review you read might be legit. Thanx for all you do! Strength and Honor!
Happy fathers day!! Its shrinkflation, its bad wen u used to buy a bag of chips that was only half full but now, the bag is smaller and its still only half full!!
You should partner with someone like Teron or Onetigris and make an TOGR line of products where you can make sure things like "Where are the tie offs" can be addressed.
The smaller sizes are great for short folk like myself who don't need the extra leg length for mats etc. As long as there is vestibule space for kit this sounds like a good option. You should do condensation reviews having used a dehumidifying pack in the tent to see how much water is collected and whether they worked on a specific tent or not. Quite a few folk use them but you never see actual reviews on them in use.
I like mine so much I bought two two person tents too , my only complaint is the colors are awful. My gray one looks like it glows in the dark green woods even at night
Honest question, is there any benefits to certain colors? I personally don't like bright colors because they stick out but was wondering if anyone had any other feelings or ideas
Maybe they're looking to take over the scouting market? Kids might really enjoy that, and the parents would love knowing their youngins are in a quality tent!
Luke, just bought a one person naturehike for $70 dollar's, because I think of the color red,,and purple tent also all other colors were $100dollars..But looks very much like this one your testing now...mine is 37 inches wide tho.Like all your videos
If my sleeping bag is wet, it doesn’t matter if it came from rain or condensation. 4 lbs for a tiny 1 person tent! Doesn’t sound like a backcountry tent. If I’m car camping might as well bring my 4 person luxe shelter. Would be interesting to see this product from beginning to end to see how it gets to market for $100.
Hey Luke, I recently stumbled on your channel and I enjoy your adventures and stoke. This tent is to small for me, I'm just over 6' and slim but tent too narrow as well. Thank you for sharing your hikes with us! Happy trails! Doaty, long island
I would love to see the same tent for 2 persons. I will buy one for sure. It's small but it's a good tent. Great review. My best wishes my friend from Greece. Stay strong
Luke, it must be awesome because you'd never talk it up that good if it wasn't. I'm 5'11" so I'm going to take the gamble to see if it will work for me. Thanks again for all you do.
Love your channel buddy. Have or can you make a video on your top picks based on your extensive test knowledge for each season and larger size tents for every budget category please. Thank you.
This is great cuz it pushes the prices down for big agnes, nemo, and msr, all these other companies that are trying to charge us $5-600 for a dam tent.
Im still using the improved one man combag shelter, milsurp. Great little tent, but it is LITTLE and it is HEAVY. And it failed my winter test, even though my sleeping bag was adequate, the air inside the tent got so cold the air coming in the tiny peephole of my mummy bag was enough to freeze my nose everytime it poked out. Thinking about cutting some tarp to cover the mesh on the tent for winter and see if that improves things, just gotta stop ALL the warm air coming off my body from escaping out the top of the tent. Still, i should upgrade to something lighter but larger, but what?
Consider some DIY third layer for winter seasons. You can cover it partially and it will make a difference. I saw some comments of people doing these upgrades to their tents. The fabric will be affordable but it will require some work. Obviously it will add some weight as well.
A nice tent but I'd prefer a two or even a three-passenger model. I would also tarp over the tent so I could keep the ventilation higher. I own a grommet kit, had it for years, and would easily take care of adding grommets where necessary. Does anybody dig a trench around their tent so ground water from rain can be diverted away from the inside of the tent? I learned that in the Army using shelter half's and used it many times since.
G'day Luke, great to see value for money, I'm impressed, however, there's a lotta folks around 6 ft and above. As one of those, oh well, just another sale they wont get. Cheers Duke.
I ordered a Teton backpack a few years ago, and was concerned about the status of my order. So I called and nobody was available so it sent me to voicemail after a while. I hung up. I called back like 30 minutes later. VM again, hung up again. To my surprise, I get a call the next day from a woman because they noticed I called a couple times. Excellent customer service.
Hey luke, are you able to get hold of the oex phoxx 2 v2 tent in the states? If so give it a go. For the price it's an excellent tent and I would love to see your review of it.
I have a Teton Phoenix 3P tent low profile which is technically a two person or in my case one person with gear mostly mesh with a separate rainfly and I can tell you from first-hand experience looking straight up at the rainfly with nearly a hundred plus gallons I'm looking at above my head and not one drop of water went through at least the version I got is 100% waterproof Although after that supposed tended to crack two of them actually now I have to get replacements and that's been close to 20 something years
I have a 4 person version from 4 years ago. I love the tent. 100% waterproof with amazing ventilation. I do use aftermarket aluminum stakes. You can stakeout the fly on my version but the included bungee attachments were insufficient. Some added 550 cord solved that. The only thing I didn’t like was the yellow color.

I bought the 3p version in February, love it! It does not have the same problem as the 1p where the fly touches the tent

That size is interesting. I have the Mountain Ultra 2 for car camping and I think that thing is HUGE for a 2 person tent. My partner and I joke that it's BARELY smaller than our Kelty Trail Ridge 3.
Just received the 3 person this week will post thoughts when I get to set it up .
Great tent but I am 6ft 1inch it is sad they don't have a option for tall folks..
Great review Luke thanks so much bro
Nothing to add about the tent, but thanks for your time and excellent commentary. Appreciate it.
I have a thick, heavy canvas shell 0 degree sleeping bag from Teton I keep for possible blackouts or just extra cold Winter nights. It'll basically cook you. Happy with it.

I was thinking the same thing. Of the. 2 man is good, won't the 4 man be good too?

6’4 guy here, my girl and I have the three person tent version of the tent and it was perfect for us. Dog was even comfortable inside.
Luke, I love to see a review of the 4 person tent. Thank for all your work.

That I think will be super hard to test ... would be nice to see though
Hmmm. So he just needs to build a wind tunnel...🤔

That's when you truck camper shell it or sprinter van. Only thing that'll do in a storm like that in way of a tent is a Bivy sack.
Incredible tent for the money. The larger versions do allow you to pull the fly away from the body. After my 1st use, all i could think was, Luke was 100% correct!

I love your thoughts. I love my Eureka tent. I love it from the boy scout days. I love your hiking vidoes
Absolutely the best tent I've ever owned is my Eureka Expedition tent. Never had one problem with it. All seasons.
Best tent ever
Happy Father’s Day!
It’s a nice tent but everyone at Teton must be your size , I’m 6 foot and 175 # and it’s snug , may give it to my grandson.
I have a geartop 2 persons and it’s great also and budget friendly.

Ventilation is great on the larger ones. They come with 4 vents, the ability to stake the fly away from the body
Thank you for all your trails out in the woods to bring us great review!!
Great video as always. I like it when you include metric conversions, any chance you could go back to doing that?

I think it was the inhaler part he found most humorous..
Can you share your strategy for finding gear on sale? Ebay, mfg website, Google alerts? Thanks Luke.
Happy fathers day!! Its shrinkflation, its bad wen u used to buy a bag of chips that was only half full but now, the bag is smaller and its still only half full!!
Can't wait to see your next review because I am 6' 4" tall and weigh 250 pounds and I would love to see that review
Happy Father's Day Luke. Way too small for me but smaller folks may enjoy. Nice review, thanks.

Just got the chance to watch your review as I was interested in this model and brand (price wise). As always you provided a great review.
Looking forward to the 2 person tent review. Thoughts on using tarp clips to pull out the bottom for ventilation? Thanks for all you do.
Hi Luke thank you for sharing this video about this tent!
Happy Father's Day to all the dads who are actually involved in raising their kids as well as others kids too!!!
I like mine so much I bought two two person tents too , my only complaint is the colors are awful. My gray one looks like it glows in the dark green woods even at night
Yes, three in total, a single for myself, and a two person for my wife and I . And a two person for my two kids. All are gray/ white
Honest question, is there any benefits to certain colors? I personally don't like bright colors because they stick out but was wondering if anyone had any other feelings or ideas
I scored this on Amazon for $56! I’m looking forward to backpacking with this. Thankfully I’m 5’2” and I don’t expect wet feet 😂
A Very Happy And Blessed Father's Day to You, Luke and All the other Dad's in your lives!💙🦸🏼♂️💙 GOD BLESS YOU ALL ABUNDANTLY!🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
Maybe they're looking to take over the scouting market? Kids might really enjoy that, and the parents would love knowing their youngins are in a quality tent!

I have their -35 deer hunter sleeping bag and I'm using it in -26.
.
I'm seriously going to look at this company first for my outdoor needs.
I got the 4 person version, great quality but small which I new going so no big deal. It'll fit 3 ppl no problem and a great price.
Luke did that watch come with the tent? Baller! Happy Father's Day Luke!
I got the 4 person and it just the same great and huge for 2 people
The amazon review had me rolling!! You should keep including those funny ones haha!!
Thanks Luke. Always interested in good budget gear. Have a great Sunday afternoon....
Hey Luke, I recently stumbled on your channel and I enjoy your adventures and stoke. This tent is to small for me, I'm just over 6' and slim but tent too narrow as well. Thank you for sharing your hikes with us! Happy trails! Doaty, long island
I would love to see the same tent for 2 persons. I will buy one for sure. It's small but it's a good tent. Great review. My best wishes my friend from Greece. Stay strong
These come in 1,2,3, and 4 person models
Surprising that the tent and sleeping pad are so small. They have a great selection of XL size sleeping bags that I really like.
Always divide the person capacity by 2 for comfortably.
...good to see a tent that doesn't break the bank...lol...good one ,keep safe..
Love the picture of the two of you could we see you two on lone Wolf in adventure soon
That crow was yelling at you because you're in his territory and he was annoyed, trying to scare you off during your intro 😂 they're funny
Luke, it must be awesome because you'd never talk it up that good if it wasn't. I'm 5'11" so I'm going to take the gamble to see if it will work for me. Thanks again for all you do.
Love your channel buddy. Have or can you make a video on your top picks based on your extensive test knowledge for each season and larger size tents for every budget category please. Thank you.
Happy fathers day Luke.
This is great cuz it pushes the prices down for big agnes, nemo, and msr, all these other companies that are trying to charge us $5-600 for a dam tent.
Love the channel. Can you do more solar/foldable/banks ? I am the fence with what to buy.Keep up the great work!!
Will a small battery operated fan help with condensation?
Thanks for the review looks like a nice tent, id go for the larger size myself

I believe that you also liked the Naturehike Mongar two, which do you think is better and why?
G'day Luke, great to see value for money, I'm impressed, however, there's a lotta folks around 6 ft and above. As one of those, oh well, just another sale they wont get. Cheers Duke.
I’d like to see the 2 person version reviewed and wonder if that would be big enough for someone over 6 feet tall.
Happy father's day Luke
Great review indeed. Thanks. I'm only 5'4".....trouble is, I guess its only available in the USA.....I'm in the UK 😔
Thank you for a fair & unbiased review!
Great review, Luke. Have ever considered reviewing the sunglasses you've worn on your adventures?
I ordered a Teton backpack a few years ago, and was concerned about the status of my order. So I called and nobody was available so it sent me to voicemail after a while. I hung up. I called back like 30 minutes later. VM again, hung up again.
To my surprise, I get a call the next day from a woman because they noticed I called a couple times.
Excellent customer service.
Great review on a great budget friendly tent!
I bet this tents price goes up bye like 100 bucks now just cause it’s got thr Luke seal of approval.
First and foremost Luke Happy Father's Day to you young man
Accent video as always and take care
Great review Luke
I'll probably snag the one-person tent for my emergency pack. My sleeping bag is a military Modular Sleep System, so I have the waterproof bivy.
I wouldn't go smaller then a 2 person version for a single person plus gear, or better yet a 3 person version
Happy fathers day luke
Good review! Steering clear of that one.
Thank you Luke another awesome review.
Look forward to the three person👍
Hey luke, are you able to get hold of the oex phoxx 2 v2 tent in the states? If so give it a go. For the price it's an excellent tent and I would love to see your review of it.
Sounds great, I just need the larger tent, too small for me , I'm 6'5 ....
Hey Luke, have you ever tried the Naturehike 1p tent? I think its called the spyder.
At least according to the pictures online, it looks like the 3p and 4p versions do include a pull out on the sides of the fly. Interesting.
I have a Teton Phoenix 3P tent low profile which is technically a two person or in my case one person with gear mostly mesh with a separate rainfly and I can tell you from first-hand experience looking straight up at the rainfly with nearly a hundred plus gallons I'm looking at above my head and not one drop of water went through at least the version I got is 100% waterproof
Although after that supposed tended to crack two of them actually now I have to get replacements and that's been close to 20 something years
