I prefer a dark green tent and your Cloud Up2 seemed to have better features, including 4000HH as opposed to the 2000HH on this new one and the sunny yellow interior which was so cheerful, but we all like different things hey and as long as you’re happy. Good, detailed review, thanks for sharing.
I like dark green in tents but also like the Khaki as well… decisions decisions 😂 To be honest, the Pro version is new to market and as I had sold my older Cloud up2 I’ve been fancying a return to one and when I saw the new version thought it would be good to buy and review early.. it’s clearly a better weather tent so for me one I’ll use in summer or if travelling to warmer climes.. although i am planning a winter camp just to see how it performs 😊 👍🏻
I just ordered the star river 2 2024 UL (ultralight) edition that just released, same materials as this (pegs, poles and fly). It's the same weight as the original cloud up 2.👌🏻
For UK camping I picked an Opalus 3. Weight on the bike no problem and outer and inner pitched together because it does rain quite a bit here. Inner first is a negative point, weight doesn’t matter and space is non existent on that tent. We can afford a bit of comfort as we aren’t backpacking surely. Time to put up isn’t really an issue unless it’s throwing it down, then inner/outer pitched together is a massive plus. If you have a checklist of any description a small lightweight backpacking tent doesn’t tick any boxes.
@@davidgidman7561 good tents the Opalus, love the end that rolls up for more air flow.. the good thing about reviewing tents (at least that’s what I tell my wife when a new one arrives 😂) is I get to have a selection for use but still like my smaller versions most of the time.. have got a couple of nice Robens, one a tunnel tent which is great for the winter wind and rains
Very interesting. I have a cloud up 2 and love it, perfect for moto camping, didn’t think I’d need to go lighter weight TBH. This does look good though
@@marcusrichardson3472 I’ve had a couple of nights in it and off tomorrow, will be giving further feedback in next week or two but I’m very impressed with it but then I did like the standard Cloud Up2
I love my cloud up 2. It's the only tent I've ever had that's paid for itself through use, just because it's so simple. Must have done 30 nights in it now.
@@soggybawsmoto I used my Cloud Up2 on lots of occasions and year round, eventually sold it as I had so many tents and wanted some more but forgot how good they are! This new one isn’t widely available yet but I just knew I had to have it and been on couple of trips since initial filming..loving it all over again 😊
Nice tent. I've decided I'm not gonna buy another tent if I can't easily sit in a chair in it, just doesn't make sense when on the bike as the weight isn't an issue and the extra comfort just makes complete sense. That said the 2 I have bought recently were both well under 2.5kg so I don't think you're making any compromise. When I saw your Opalus 2 review I was impressed with that, great admin space, but bought my Vango Xenon 2+ off of that - I'm surprised you don't use that more, one of Naturehikes best tents I think. Thanks Andrew
@@twowheeledadventuresuk2739 yes, for lightweight and small pack size it’s very good plus space is reasonable for a light tent..these type are useful if moving day to day, which is mostly what I do, but I do get the sitting inside and still have that capability with the Robens Buck Creek2, which has effectively become my winter tent. As I buy tents to review some have to go eventually and the Opalus was sold.. I’ve also got the Robens Voyager2 another tunnel tent and although an excellent tent I’d only use it for a winter base camp over a few days..just find them more time consuming to put up and take down!
@@thecampingbiker791 I did a test to see how quickly I could set up my MSR access 1 Vs my Xenon 2+ and the Xenon was quicker, only by a few seconds, but it proved a point, that bigger isn't necessarily slower to put up take down, the design makes a big difference - and when it was slower Vs other tents it was only by 2 mins max. The stress of living in little tents during long winter nights especially in bad weather I just don't feel it's worth the 2 mins. I obviously get that some just have a preference, I always like to sound people out the to see if I've missed something 👍
I’m very interested in purchasing this cloud up 2 pro but when I go on the naturehike website even clicking on the link in description I only see the nature hike cloud up 2 for sale not the pro. The only place I can see to purchase this item is Ali Express and that actually states the tent is in fact the cloud up 2 pro. I’ve never purchased from Ali express so not sure if I will do. When you purchased your tent from naturehike did the website actually say cloud up 2 pro or just cloud up 2.
@@J.C9033 I bought mine from a retailer on Ali Express, first time for me! Good experience, quick and as described, coincidentally I’ve just been in contact with Naturehike and they haven’t started selling the tent directly from their website but will be doing so soon… They started selling via retailers first and I suspect it’s a good way to test the market, particularly in the East.

@@vtrrookie1 they do indeed, I nearly bought the star river 2 but this new one came out and thought it good for an early review before it becomes more widely available but never say never as i like to swop and change, mainly for the channel and not because of tent addiction of course 😂

I use a Slumit Cub 2 flash frame, up in 30 seconds, brilliant. I ride alone so goes on the back seat, cant be arsed with poles. If it was pissing down you would be soaked setting that up.
@@mikehurley5052 thanks for watching, I don’t normally have that much of a problem and if need to just put fly up first get in and attach inner from inside… simples! Or just go into pub for a pint or two and wait for rain to ease off 😂
