In this video I test the budget FORCEATT 2 Person Dome Tent with a couple of nights camping trip in very heavy and continuous rain with thunder and lightning thrown in.
I find out if the tent is waterproof and provide an extra overview of the tent having used over several nights.
The thoughts and actions outlined in the video are personal to me and everyone will need to view things from their own perspective.
The original first impressions video can be found here:

Thanks for posting, I’ve just spent the last two nights in a one person tent during a downpour that flooded many streets in town and, although the Ozark Trail one person tent did not leak at all, I found it to narrow for my liking. The height was ok, the length was nice, but side to side was uncomfortable. The thing I did like was the awning that can be supported out by hiking poles. And a previous tent I owned did have doors on each side…another one of my preferences…so when I saw the features of this tent I bought it immediately. Your videos just confirmed that I have made the right choice.
@@ndsailor thanks for that feedback, it did an amazing job for such a budget priced tent and has good features, particularly liking the canopy and space. Sounds like you will be having some good trips with it, hopefully not too much rain though!
This guy drags the arse out of this
Hab den Zelt für mich und meinen Sohn gekauft , wir sind begeistert 😀
Es ist ein gutes Zelt, viel Spaß …..hope the translation is correct 😆
Starts at 4:59
I own 3 forcetta tents...love em...the only problem I've found is which one to use lol.... All three have been used in heavy rain and I've never had a problem with any... Great review
Thanks Geoff, I’d say one of the best of the budget tents 👍🏻
If it leaks just seal the seams and scotch guard all the material!! Easy fix for an awesome tent!! I seam seal and scotch guard all my new tents before I use them for the first time. Keep it!!!! This is a great tent!!
Yes, agree.. I keep a tube of Stormseal in my freezer ready for use and carry some patches when camping but on this occasion I returned however I buy a few tents to review and just can’t keep them all so this one went back.. it was a very good tent at the budget end of market and on reflection I should have kept it!
🎉Good review 👍
@@koxagen thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
Like my other comment said on video 1 a proper user review.
I'm probably going to grab this off Amazon as a cheap get back into camping tent, but I'll be doing Kinder scout and other more wild camping which I'll probably be using the Robens Starlight 2 for but until then this will suffice.
Cheers fella
Also how have the zips been, are they still in good working condition?
@@cappasarge7595 you can get them in green as well, very good and although I parted company with mine (can’t keep everything) I am considering buying another!
@@cappasarge7595 can’t say long term but first impressions were very good.. easy to open and close, felt reasonable quality
I've often wondered how one can justify a £1k tent of this size, even if they made them from Gore-Tex fabric, but Hilleberg seam to be selling enough of them. If the consistency is there with the manufacturer then a fit for purpose £65 tent is a winner.
I’ve looked at Hilleberg tents and they are superb quality but in truth even if I wanted one I couldn’t afford it 😆
Most of the people that buy them don't need them anyway it's become a fashionable thing hence why they've jacked the prices all the way up I mean good tent but not a grand good that's just stupidity.
@@zedddddful yep, have to agree
Good to know this is an option, great review and rain test!
Yep, a proper rain test that one
Nice review Andrew 👍
Thanks for that 👍🏻
i bought the same tent last month i put it together and OMG it went together so fast and easy. i love it. i just hope mine holds up as good as yours. but seeing it here means i will just buy some silicone spray and when i put it up next weekend i will just spray it then
To be honest Glen, yours might be okay but cheap fix if not! Best check round to inside of fly at the tie points and you can see clearly if fully sealed or not (usually just a small bit rather than full sealant missing) You’ll definitely know if you look 👍🏻
@@thecampingbiker791 i remember back in 2002 me and my wife at the last minute decided to to go camping and we was already out of town so we hit walmart and bought a large tent set it up and 20 minutes after it started raining her and the baby was sleeping in the truck and i might as well had just slept out in the rain in a sleeping bag. so i review my stuff i buy now as much as i can.
@@MadsWorld34 I remember my wife sleeping in the car in the 1980s after an attempt at camping together…she’s never camped since 😂 You’ve got a good tent there, have you seen the door set up as a porch..on my first look video

6:31 it could be a factory minor defect. Hopefully that can be remedied easily. Thanks for the review. Ill probably be getting this or the North face Stormbreak 3p which is really pricy.
Sometimes with budget priced tents I find these minor defects can be quite common but easily fixed by sealing the bit that’s been missed when factory sealed and usually just where tabs are stitched..I’ve fixed a couple of tents, including this one, with a flexible repair adhesive…I have one called Stormsure and it’s very good only needing a couple of drops with the tube being kept in freezer for next time! Have fun deciding smile 😃 👍🏻

Great video ! Thanks :)
I think if you buy some spray sealer and give any tent a coat when you first get it , it can never hurt , but to test it and no sealer id expect a leak .i still really like this tent and think im buying one ...
I seem sealed the tabs, no further problem
Done it bought 2014 3k miles
Is it recomended for cold weather, because the upper mesh ?. Thanks.
I’d be happy with most UK cold weather, the lower solids will keep out wind and vent well in upper mesh, but not sure it would be the best tent for storms, particularly up on mountains… should be good for majority of people’s general use though!
Great review, ..talking about two drops of water and a low price tent, for me it looks quite solid and useable for one , two or perhaps tree seasons. btw did you found a better choice? Regards Jan
Thanks Jan, I buy tents to test fairly frequently and have one from Decathlon that I’ve tested and also rate highly for value for money. Having said that, I still think the Forceatt was excellent for its cost and might buy another at some point, probably Green this time, but I do have about 10 tents so best not tell my wife 😂

good video
Enjoying your videos, and hoping to do my first motocamp at the end of the month ,wanted to ask if its safe to leave camping gear in the tent while i went off exploring the area on my bike ?
Hi Gareth, in all the years camping and leaving gear in the tent I’ve never ever had a problem….although it’s not to say it doesn’t happen but I’ve never experienced it or spoke to anyone that has. Obviously I wouldn’t leave valuables and my camping gear or tents are not in the high value category so I take a relaxed view if it happens it happens! My advice is to take the same view and it will be more relaxing for you…happy moto camping and all the best, Andrew
Hello, test the NTK WINDY 1 please, thank you.. Greetings from Argentina.
Interesting Pablo, not sure I can get it in UK but will be looking! It is very similar to one that I reviewed previously…very good design and value tent! Here’s that review

I am looking for a tent to take on my solo bike trips what tent would you recommend for value for money quality etc.. thanks Neil.
I think one of my latest, the Decathlon MT500 2 person dome tent because of its features and 5 year warranty, also quite a reasonable pack size! Have a look and see what you think..

😊👍
HOW can it take almost HALF an HOUR to do a rain review ?????????????????????
I guess if I want it to take half an hour I’ll take half an hour! 😂
for £65 that's a belter my cheap vango is great and was only £95 but has nowhere near as much head room
It was a bargain, I see the prices are up to about £85 at moment….they change with the season!
How much Do you geht for this cheap liter tent. It will Not survive a weak storn, because it can bei fixes properly at 4 entrance Sides. Also all 4 cornersides can Not be drilled in the Soil deep enough. Also the Connection between inner and Outside canopy on the top is bull..
It is Not worth the Money for even a leaking tent
Thanks for your contribution, all views welcome
Hi
does the tent have to be anchored or is it also free-standing?
Hi Jordan, it’s free standing with vestibules tied back or just need to peg the vestibules out. If in warm climate don’t need the fly so complete free standing 👍🏻
@@thecampingbiker791
Super all right then I know, thank you very much for the quick feedback 👍🏼
Anyone here use the 2 person version thats like the mongar 2? Im looking to buy a new tent for all seasons. I notice there is less mesh on the bottom of it compared to the Mongar or my MSR Hubba 2 Ive used for 20 yrs. I need a new tent and I have not seen any reviews on the Foreceatt 2 person Im looking at. I need one that will keep the cold air from sinking in under the canopy in the winter or on minus 10c nights.
Two drops is two too many. Man, that's a lot of 2's🤣
I was hoping to flood the tent out, but not to be with just ‘two drops’ 😂
ffs all that to tell us a few problems zzzzzzzzz
Oh dear, hope your okay 😬
