Paria is excellent quality. I own their Recharge XL and DW pads. Their tents are rebadged Chinese oems. The Bryce is the Naturehike Cloudup and the Arches is the 3F UL Gear LanShan. Big plus though is the Paria versions have lifetime warranties and us support. They are also about the same price as their 3F and Naturehike counterparts. They offer 10% off all the time with the "welcome10" coupon code.
Thx I’ll be sure to try this if I decide to get the tent! Got the short sleeping pad and the inflatable sit pad that I’ll be trying out this weekend. Comfort is necessary for me to be able to hike & camp. I deal with A Lot of pain & discomfort from chronic tick diseases but I’m super excited to be healthy enough these days to be able to hike and now I’m going for my first solo camp with hiking this weekend. I am Eager to plan a real backpacking trip but def need a lighter tent- I have the naturehike Mongar 2 which I absolutely love but it is heavy and bulky as I got the poly not the 20d.. My current big goal is to start section hiking the ice age trail next year…
@@rangerdoc1029 Be careful with the Naturehike. The different colors are actually different materials and weigh different amounts. The silnylon like the Bryce is the more expensive version, which is $120 regular price. To me it's worth the extra $30 for the Paria lifetime warranty.
I have the 2-person version of this tent, can confirm it comfortably sleeps two and VERY comfortably fits one person with pack and everything. I've used it in high winds and while it was loud from the wind, I had no issue at all with the tent bowing in.
Thanks for reviewing gear that is more entry level. My son and I got into backpacking using the Paria Zion 3p. We were very impressed with what we got for the price and weight that could be split between two people. Not as nice as some of the high end tents, but we were able to get on the trail for two of us for less than the price of some high end tents with help from this channel.
Paria has lots of solid, budget products. Their sleeping pads are top notch for sub-$100 and their dyneema cordage does the trick. Thanks for sharing. 🤙
Hello Dan! I bought this tent back in December because you recomended it some months ago because I wanted to start my backpacking journey. My first backpacking trip I camped in the very top of the mountain. Performed great in the wind but I was nervous all night that the fly would come out and I would loose it. The next morning I realized the inside of the fly has some cords that you can tie to the poles, on top of having the other locks. Even better, the stakes it comes with are reall sturdy, even after a night of intense wind I needed some good effort to take them off the ground. Thanks for recomending this tent, it is a purchase I'm absolutely pleased with.
Bought it for my AT section hike, it has the room, double pockets, color is fantastic on darker days. I also bought their 15 degree quilt as well...very pleased with both
Thanks Dan for all your help! Beginner Backpacker here, and I just bought this for my first tent! Thank you for the suggestion! I also just got the Decathlon puffy you suggested too. Your videos have really motivated me to get out there this year! Looking forward to it.
Addition to this… I’m 6’7” 250lbs and I also got the Pariah Recharge XL sleeping pad for $89.00 and it actually fits me. So happy about it. I also have my Enlightened Enigma Apex 30 Quilt being custom made for me right now. Based on your knowledge you shared about quilts. I might be a newbie but all your help here is going to help me avoid most of newbie gear mistakes. Thanks again.
With the sub 3lb tent, you barely even notice the brick in the backpack! 😆 I love Paria products! Been eying this tent for a while. I have a bag, quilt, and sleeping pad from them. Good stuff for not too much money!
@@AC-kk3vo Hey A C! I have their 0 Degree Bag and 15 Degree quilt. I have used the bag down to 15F with thin base layers and it was fine. I wouldn't try to take it any colder than that without additional base layers, etc. I used the quilt down to 20F and that was too cold for that quilt (at least for me). But I'd like to try it again with a sleeping pad with a higher R value. I actually did a full video about the Paria 0 degree bag vs another 0 degree bag (Paria was my fave) including sleeping with thermometers in my bag. Feel free to check it out. It's called: "0 Degree Sleeping Bags || Teton Sports Leef vs Paria Thermodown"
I have the Paria Bryce 2P and their carbon cork trekking poles. Great experience with their products so far. They may not have the most UL and the most expensive materials, but they make quality products for budget friendly prices. I've heard great things about their customer service and warranty too, so I have peace of mind with the things I've purchased so far.
First tent I bought as I was getting into hiking, and after watching this video. Just know it is NOT sub 3lbs.I’ve modified mine down to 3lb 9oz, but even that is still on the heavier side for an “ultralight tent.” (oz) Rainfly 16 Bug mesh 20 DIY Poly footprint 3.5 Poles 16 6x MSR Mini Steaks 2 Stuff sacks 0.5
I have their Bryce 2p and is wonderfully easy to set up and a high quality piece for a fraction of bigger named brands. Their customer service is unbelievably amazing.
I absolutely love Paria! They have excellent products for such a great price. I have had the Bryce 2 person tent for about four years now and I absolutely love it. Their customer service is also very good. Good to see them getting covered here. As Dan said about trying to find bad things about the tent: i wouldn’t buy this if i was over six feet tall. Im six feet tall and have about 2-3 inches before my feet or head touches part of the tent. I currently use their sleeping pad as a side sleeper and their trekking poles which have held up very well despite the beatings they taking when doing more extreme hikes.
Great Video! My set-up are all Paria products! (Bryce 2p, Thermodown 15 quilt, and Recharge XL). The customer service is second to none as well! Thanks again!
Dan love your videos. You mention something in this video that I've never heard or considered - setting the rain fly up first in the rain and then setting up the rest of the tent... would LOVE a video on how to do this as I can't conceptualize how to put the little hooks onto the poles from inside the rain fly. Thank you!
Agreed. Bryce was my first tent and I still prefer it over others. The only issue I have with mine is that they sent me an over-sized footprint, so it doesn't line up on the bottom.
I have a sky scape trekker but it’s a 1 person tent and now me my daughter and my parents have booked a campsite on the South Rim next year so the 2p version of this will serve well
Their sleeping pad is great too. It’s a little over a pound, but even after considering lighter options, I still can’t justify spending $175 on a Thermorest or Nemo pad just to probably get a leak in it. Their sleeping pad is where I will sacrifice weight for comfort and durability. Carried it through the JMT last year and it worked great. I have their Bryce 2p as well and will typically use that for casual weekend getaways. All around great products.
I have the Paria Arches 2 person tent (non-freestanding) requires 2 trekking poles. It is absolutely a great tent as well. Lots of vestibule space and double side doors all 3lbs 8oz .
Backpacked with my son in Arizona last year, brought my 38 liter daypack, and grabbed this tent because it fit in the pack. I was pleased with the tent overall. I don't like the front door entry, but this is a solid tent at a great price.
Dan, This company is extremely wonderful and their customer service is top notch. I have the 2 person Trekking Pole Tent and I absolutely love it. I am so glad you did a review on this tent and put this company out there. Ride That Tasty Wave
Thanks another thorough review! This was one of my top choices when purchasing a tent last year. I ended up going with the nearly-identical Naturehike Cloud 2p tent on Amazon (only because I waited too long to make a decision!!)
Thanks. I have a 2p 1997 Eureka Hobbit and this is so similar. Love that Eureka but it's no longer as weather proof or as light as newer tents. Great thing about these Paria and Eureka tents is that for a solo bike tourer, a bike (without wheels) flipped upside down can go inside the tent when camping in certain sketchier places. Peace of mind at night or in bad weather! Would like to see this Paria in better stealth camping colours like green or brown, though. The Paria is on my radar, now, in any case...
I have the 2 person Bryce, the recharge XL, the dyneema cord, the titanium spoon and their trekking pole tent. Great products and the customer service is awesome
I found this company a few years ago and I have to say I can’t say enough positive accolades about them. I own two other three man Zion tents and absolutely love them split the weight up amongst hikers and you’re caring a pound for your shelter. I own multiple batches of their hiking poles. Good quality poles for a whole lot less than what others offer. Customer Survice is top-notch they take care of you do you have any issues. I also own their sleeping pad which Dan I would love you to do a review on that because I think it’s great.
I bought the Paria Arches 2p tent for my Colorado Trail trip. You need thicker dyneema guy lines but other than that it's solid. Didn't have much rain or anything but I can't see it failing.
Looks oddly similar to the Naturehike Cloud tent I've had for past 7yrs or so. Never had any issues with it. Fits two peeps on as well, if you like it cosy. Can't beat the size-weight-price ratio.
@@Yadonic nope. One thing that happened a week ago is a zipper malfunction, but after such a long time it's ok. Mechanical stuff ultimately fail. Worst case scenario I'll replace it entirely.
That looks almost identical to the naturehike cloud up 2. Just a different color scheme. Both Big Agnes knock offs. But still quite decent for the price.
Dan, I came to this video after I saw your Short on TH-cam. With this tent being so inexpensive, even at $159 now, I was wondering if you could do a “Deck yourself out for under $500” video. I have an ok backpack but I now want to get out more and do some overnight camping. It would be cool to find a “One Stop Shop” video that I can just put it all in my cart and know it’s good. Something with a tent, sleep vision, sleeping bag, backpack, cook stove and pillow. I think it would be cool if you did a “How To Properly Fit A Backpack” video. Love your videos!
I’ve used this tent on a few trips now and I love it. It can be a little small ya, especially when my pups are in there with me, but you can’t beat the price and weight.
I actually saw some kind of fastex or tie out on inner tent to attach it to outer tent in your video which you didn't mentioned about or didn't even realize that it exists 😅 That could help spread inner tent and have a wider space there especially if side guy lines will be stacked to the ground 😉 That doesn't help to get more room in height, but will definitely get it wide.
Damn you Dan Becker! LOL I was looking for a good intro tent. Watched this video and got one of the last 2p tent they had in stock. Hadn't planned on it, but too good of a deal to pass up. Edit: This video caused them to go out of stock on this tent. They contacted me and offered to upgrade me for free to their Zion model, which has 2 doors instead of the one in the front, if I didn't want to wait the 8 weeks for the Bryce models to get back in stock. I have to give them major props and recommend them for their customer service.
Hi Dan. Your video was posted 8 hours ago and all the tents are sold out already! Will keep my eye out for this one. Thanks for the intro to this brand.
coming from uk i find it amazing people use a summer tent like this in the snow... geertop can make some ok snow tents... not amazing but better than this for the cold/snow with snow skirts and not summer inners.
My Eureka "Clip Flaslight" was similar. NO stale air outlet. Splitting Headaches, 3 AM. I Cut a hole in fly, near door, and sewed a mini-awning over it. Problem solved! It worked!
When I saw your review and recommendation I went to the site to look at ordering one. They were out of stock, (probably because of your review). Good news is that they are back in stock. I’m awaiting my delivery. Looking forward to getting started!
Ok-I am going on a river trip in August and wanted an easy to set up tent option. Dan, I trust you-and so, I am the new owner of the last Amazon 2-person version. Thanks for the excellent review and I’ll let you know how it goes in August! Thanks again for all you do!
Dan -- I am glad I am not alone in knowing the virtues of using a brick for stakes. It really does do the best job. It is my luxury item. Ultralight haters going to hate.
Teton 1p quick tent would be interesting to try on a trip. $100, instant up and genuinely good in every way. An easy up tent under 5 lbs at $100 could be wild.
Reminds me a lot of my Big Agnes seedhouse SL1. I have the older version and this looks identical. I sure as hell didn't pay $145. Thanks for the content on affordable but quality products.
Wally World needs to bring back the Ozark Trail 43-ounce tent. It was roomier than this tent and had a side door with a larger vestibule. Got mine on close out for like $30 but I think they $70-ish when they were full price. You needed to spray with Nikkiwax to waterproof it but afterwards it stayed dry through 2 inches of rain over an hour of heavy rain. It’s been my go-to tent for the past ~4 years. If I lost it or otherwise had to replace it, these Paria’s look like great bang for the buck.
Used to have the 2p tent. Sold it to a buddy to get a lanshan tent. It was a good tent though loved it. You should check out their down quilts. Super decent for the price.
Good looking tent for the price and I like how the foot end has poles at both ends vs a lot of other tents like this that have a Y pole and you have no choice but to stake out the foot end corners. My only gripe is that it’s really not a sub 3lb tent if you want it usable. 2lbs 15oz with no stakes or footprint (don’t really need this) but stakes are nice to have but I guess you could use sticks or rocks.
I have the Paria Arches 1P. Great value, many pros, a few cons - but not many. Very good budget product. Especially when you consider Paria offers a lifetime warranty on their products. (Something you didn't mention.)
While I've enjoyed hammock camping (ENO double nest - I'm quite tall), I'm definitely considering a tent. There are times and places where a hammock won't work, and a quality tent is necessary.
I’m in the same boat. Been a hammock camper/backpacker for almost ten years now. I used to sleep great in a hammock but now I’m constantly waking up and wanting to re adjust all night. I think I’ll be switching over to this.
It's wait listed now but looks great. Wish there was a one stop shop list where I could add all these items in one click, then just remove what's unwanted.
Pretty bold for a US company to call itself Paria. I know it’s the name of a canyon in the SW but still. I like my Duplex but this could be good for a place like the White Mountains where there are wooden tent pads and a trekking pole tent isn’t easy to set up.
Oh, man, this tent is such a good deal! I'm dying inside rn because the end-door -style tents unfortunately feel too coffin-like inside for the claustrophobic fam like myself. Seriously, I had to skip thru chunks of the video 'cause of getting panicky. I am hoping to get a Paria Recharge pad this year, though! I have heard they actually hold up really well against other insulated pads that are much more expensive.
I liked my old Eureka Spitfire. This looks like a good replacement and costs/weighs about the same too.. Too bad I just spent more than double on the Nemo Hornet (and its 50$ footprint of course).
The water proofing on this tent is 5000mm but they also have the Zion that has 3000mm. The Bryce is sold out so is that 3000mm still a good rating? Should I be concerned with the lower rating when using in rain. Thanks for any insight.
I have the 2P version of this and the floor is not a 1 piece of nylon. It has a 2 piece with sealed seams which is a bummer but for the price I guess it’s fine.
Ooo, I’m going to see if they do a tiered up version like Vango do, this looks fantastic, but I’m a sucker for good metal poles. I have an ancient 2 man Force 10 mk3 but after feeling the weight difference between my and my friends 45L packs with all the extra bush craft gear he brings I definitely need to finally upgrade even though I love my triangle tent.
Great review, looks to be a great buy at that price... $150 The only problem I see is color, I have a Big Agnes car camping tent with the same colors... it attracts bugs, especially bee's.
Hey Dan, love your content! I always click on the links below to see what items you have selected, but unfortunately I'm redirected based on location (no Backcountry in The Netherlands; Bergfreunde instead...). Therefore I cannot always see what the products are. Always excited for new videos though! Absolutely love them :D!
Paria is excellent quality. I own their Recharge XL and DW pads.
Their tents are rebadged Chinese oems. The Bryce is the Naturehike Cloudup and the Arches is the 3F UL Gear LanShan. Big plus though is the Paria versions have lifetime warranties and us support. They are also about the same price as their 3F and Naturehike counterparts.
They offer 10% off all the time with the "welcome10" coupon code.
Thank you for this. I was looking for Paria but they are not available in my country, however I was able to find naturehike without a problem
Thanks for the code, can confirm it still works as of 06-25-2023.
Thx I’ll be sure to try this if I decide to get the tent! Got the short sleeping pad and the inflatable sit pad that I’ll be trying out this weekend.
Comfort is necessary for me to be able to hike & camp. I deal with A Lot of pain & discomfort from chronic tick diseases but I’m super excited to be healthy enough these days to be able to hike and now I’m going for my first solo camp with hiking this weekend.
I am Eager to plan a real backpacking trip but def need a lighter tent- I have the naturehike Mongar 2 which I absolutely love but it is heavy and bulky as I got the poly not the 20d..
My current big goal is to start section hiking the ice age trail next year…
Naturehike is less than 1/2 price now.
@@rangerdoc1029 Be careful with the Naturehike. The different colors are actually different materials and weigh different amounts. The silnylon like the Bryce is the more expensive version, which is $120 regular price. To me it's worth the extra $30 for the Paria lifetime warranty.

How does it hold up to rain and mud?

Ok-I am going on a river trip in August and wanted an easy to set up tent option. Dan, I trust you-and so, I am the new owner of the last Amazon 2-person version. Thanks for the excellent review and I’ll let you know how it goes in August! Thanks again for all you do!
Hey Dan literally bought this tent after seeing this video and I LOVE it! (I did buy the 2p version). Thanks for the suggestion!
Dan -- I am glad I am not alone in knowing the virtues of using a brick for stakes. It really does do the best job. It is my luxury item. Ultralight haters going to hate.
man I've been waiting for it to be available again for 2 months and now you're even making a video😂
I got the 2P Bryce last year and love it. I still cannot believe what I payed for what really looks like a high-end light tent.
Teton 1p quick tent would be interesting to try on a trip. $100, instant up and genuinely good in every way. An easy up tent under 5 lbs at $100 could be wild.
The Bryce 2p may be the best buy for the money. Only $15 more? Yes please.
I have this tent and love it! Also the company is top notch to deal with!!! Highly recommend this tent and company!
It's the new " ultralight BRICK ".
They are sold out for both one and two person tents. Looks like an awesome tent. Your channel is awesome.
Reminds me a lot of my Big Agnes seedhouse SL1. I have the older version and this looks identical. I sure as hell didn't pay $145. Thanks for the content on affordable but quality products.
Wally World needs to bring back the Ozark Trail 43-ounce tent. It was roomier than this tent and had a side door with a larger vestibule. Got mine on close out for like $30 but I think they $70-ish when they were full price. You needed to spray with Nikkiwax to waterproof it but afterwards it stayed dry through 2 inches of rain over an hour of heavy rain. It’s been my go-to tent for the past ~4 years. If I lost it or otherwise had to replace it, these Paria’s look like great bang for the buck.
Used to have the 2p tent. Sold it to a buddy to get a lanshan tent. It was a good tent though loved it.
You should check out their down quilts. Super decent for the price.
The crazy part about this is I did a deep dive on your videos last night to find a good starter tent that wasn't going to break the bank!
Good looking tent for the price and I like how the foot end has poles at both ends vs a lot of other tents like this that have a Y pole and you have no choice but to stake out the foot end corners. My only gripe is that it’s really not a sub 3lb tent if you want it usable. 2lbs 15oz with no stakes or footprint (don’t really need this) but stakes are nice to have but I guess you could use sticks or rocks.
Thank you! Just got mine today now that they are back in stock 😁
Just picked my 2p for me and the kid and can’t wait to go on our first backpacking trip
The design looks nearly identical to my older model Big Agnes Seedhouse, which I'm sure was double the price of this tent! Looks nice!
I have the Paria Arches 1P. Great value, many pros, a few cons - but not many. Very good budget product. Especially when you consider Paria offers a lifetime warranty on their products. (Something you didn't mention.)
Used this tent for the whole summer. Amazing for the price
Awesome! I’ve been trying to decide between 1P and 2 P of this tent. Even the 2P isn’t heavy.
Hey I own this tent! Love it! Used it in below freezing temps even. Definitely a solid tent.
While I've enjoyed hammock camping (ENO double nest - I'm quite tall), I'm definitely considering a tent. There are times and places where a hammock won't work, and a quality tent is necessary.
I’m in the same boat. Been a hammock camper/backpacker for almost ten years now. I used to sleep great in a hammock but now I’m constantly waking up and wanting to re adjust all night. I think I’ll be switching over to this.
It's wait listed now but looks great. Wish there was a one stop shop list where I could add all these items in one click, then just remove what's unwanted.
Pretty bold for a US company to call itself Paria. I know it’s the name of a canyon in the SW but still.
I like my Duplex but this could be good for a place like the White Mountains where there are wooden tent pads and a trekking pole tent isn’t easy to set up.
I love their quilts!
I have the paria sleep pad and it's really a good pad. They make pretty good stuff.
What are your thoughts on their Zion 1P? It's got a 2-door design and only $5 more.
Good stuff.....glad to see a lightweight ....usable ⛺ tent under $150
I like the 2 layers and also the vestibule to provide an extra barrier between me and grizzly bears.
I used this on the AT! Almost 1500 miles before I switched to sharing a tent
Thanks Dan. Bryce 1P great tent for the money!
Just bought one. The 1p was out of stock, and only 7 more of the 2p at the time of this comment. Looks like they have good trekking poles as well.
could you run a line across those two hooks to use for drying socks or something?
Their Arches 1 person is a roomy hiking pole setup. It held up well under 2 inches of snow also. 🏆🇨🇦
Can you do a review of the Paria Zion tent in comparison to the Naturehike Mongar 2?
Oh, man, this tent is such a good deal! I'm dying inside rn because the end-door -style tents unfortunately feel too coffin-like inside for the claustrophobic fam like myself. Seriously, I had to skip thru chunks of the video 'cause of getting panicky.
I am hoping to get a Paria Recharge pad this year, though! I have heard they actually hold up really well against other insulated pads that are much more expensive.
If you use trekking poles try the Paria Arches tent. (Not freestanding) but it has side doors and not narrow like the Bryce
I liked my old Eureka Spitfire. This looks like a good replacement and costs/weighs about the same too..
Too bad I just spent more than double on the Nemo Hornet (and its 50$ footprint of course).
I love my Bryce 1P! Its great for bikepacking and I'm looking forward to using it on my fir backpacking trip. Also their quilt is great too!
I bought one back in December based on your recommendation.
Haven't used it yet.
This thing better not suck, Becker!
The water proofing on this tent is 5000mm but they also have the Zion that has 3000mm. The Bryce is sold out so is that 3000mm still a good rating? Should I be concerned with the lower rating when using in rain. Thanks for any insight.
I have the 2P version of this and the floor is not a 1 piece of nylon. It has a 2 piece with sealed seams which is a bummer but for the price I guess it’s fine.
Can this be used in WI winter? Not super cold weather but I’m interested in doing some mild winter camping …
I have 2 overquilts and a sleeping pad from Paria Outdoor price per pound i believe they have some of the best products
I'm wondering which came first this or the Nature Hike versions. Because they're identical.
The Nature Hike 1P tent has a different pole setup with only one at the back
great review, Dan! It looks like an awesome tent for the money!
So much room for activities!
But besides that, would this be considered a 4 season tent?
I did my AT thru hike with it and it was great and very roomy I loved it
Ooo, I’m going to see if they do a tiered up version like Vango do, this looks fantastic, but I’m a sucker for good metal poles.
I have an ancient 2 man Force 10 mk3 but after feeling the weight difference between my and my friends 45L packs with all the extra bush craft gear he brings I definitely need to finally upgrade even though I love my triangle tent.
Great review, looks to be a great buy at that price... $150
The only problem I see is color, I have a Big Agnes car camping tent with the same colors... it attracts bugs, especially bee's.
You da man. Thanks for all the great content!
Hey Dan, love your content!
I always click on the links below to see what items you have selected, but unfortunately I'm redirected based on location (no Backcountry in The Netherlands; Bergfreunde instead...). Therefore I cannot always see what the products are.
Always excited for new videos though! Absolutely love them :D!
Thanks for letting me know that! I’ll see what I can do about helping with links for all of my watchers overseas.
You sold me on it but now I need to see your review on the 2 person model. I'm 6' 1" & broad shouldered & looking for room in an inexpensive tent.
Hey Dan, if possible, would you be able to do a review on the Nemo aurora 2p tent?? I would love to get your perspective on it.
