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.

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.

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.

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.
