AFFORDABLE and DURABLE TENT for SOLO CAMPING? | Robens Arrow Head 1 Man Tent Review

Is it possible to find an affordable and durable tent? Here is a complete and extensive review of the Robens Arrow Head 1 person tent. We bought this tent because we were curious about if it keeps the standards of a good quality solo tent even if it's a cheap tent. We have both camping in it in several weather conditions but we haven’t used it as much as many of our other tents that we make reviews of.
The Arrowhead is a tunnel tent and is pretty lightweight but it's not an ultralight solo tent. This is a good tent for someone who wants to start with outdoor life and go camping or has a limited budget.
We can’t say this is the best affordable backpacking tent but the conclusion is that Robens ArrowHead gives you a lot of bang for your money!

Hi Matti, got mine about 2 years ago. Used it in all weathers. Robens is a much under rated manufacturer. On occasions when I used to use my Rab Ridge Raider, or my trustee Pheonix Phreeranger this tent has taken over. Its quick to set up and drop. Makes a difference when you have that trust when the hoolie is blowing on the Brecons. Enjoy your vids, Loved working in the Arctic when I was in the Marines. One of the best places on the planet.

My brother just bought one of these for his first backpacking tent, £85 here in the UK at the moment. Excellent value 👍

[@lapp2]

Hi! I have the voyager 2ex and the boulder2. I know the weigh a bit, but value for money is top dollars! Right now the voyager2ex is on the 4 day with constant rain. Not a drop of moist inside! I would easily recommend this tent for anyone starting their camping journey. It is a sure deal and safety for a small sum in the tent jungle🥰👍

[@Exenz]

Ni har faktiskt några av de bästa filmerna om uteliv på youtube. Ärliga åsikter och det syns att ni pratar från erfarenhet. Älskar era videos ❤️

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Tack! Det värmer att höra ❤️. /Stina

[@AlexAnteMachina]

The reason for this behavior when becoming whet is that this fabric is PU-Coated on the inside. That also is the reason why it is heavier than high end tents which are made from silicone coated fabrics. Additionally there is this effect of pu-coating coming loose after sone time of usage - most people know this effect from the „flakes“ older backpacks show on their inside.

[@marcdaigle1163]

Very good demo, with this tent,...👍 Thanks for making us all rethink our very products we already own, to make them better. It's a win, win for everyone. 😁

[@MrWipex]

Excellent beginners tent. Total water proof and all. Or a tent for the young person who ask to borrow your Hilleberg to go to a music festival. 😅

[@henriksebring7633]

Hello, I have used this tent for about a year or to be more specific 4 times... I love it for its small size when you put it up. You can really nestle into tight spaces. It is however really small inside. I am 1.70 and when having a sleeping mat and a roll.. there is no room to situp, also I actually find it hard to fit my sleeping mattress into it, just fits. But value for money - wow. I would not take it into crazy conditions.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TitanCalE]

Yay we are same height! - One day you will see for yourself :)

[@kallehagstrom-adventuresincl]

Bra pedagogisk och genomtänkt recension!

[@MSkachenite]

Good video! I bought this tent because internet store has sale. I have not used it yet. I have another lightweight 2 mans tent from HUSKY brand. Now I am thinking : to sold our my Arrow Head or to try to use it for 2 days trip? Thanks for your stoey about this tent!

[@audungillerdalen]

Bra video , som alltid 🤩👍

[@nikolakasherov1617]

I love this tent, it was my second tent and I sold her for a Robens Elk River 1.

[@kornelcseri5115]

Excellent review Matti! I have a Robens Outpost low camping bed and I think that will fit inside this tent. I usually do winter camping and I wonder that can you remove the inside moskito net part from the tent? How much is the tent weights without the moskito net?

[@clsch7513]

Nice review! Thanks! I have a 64 cm Exped mat - it won't fit in just barely, right? The specs say the width is 65/50 cm - it is very thight - don't you touch the inner constantly?

[@johnmccarron]

Hi Matt what is the width of the floor across head & foot ends.

[@martinbrooke-cf2yo]

Lazy old men are underrated... good review Matti!

[@julesnulens]

Hi. Where’s your black hoodie from please?

[@azclaimjumper]

The configuration of this tent is similar to the Hilleberg Nallo. I especially like that the inner & outer get pitched simultaneously, NOT having to deal with a fly when Mother Nature is blowing gusty winds. I agree, the attachment points for guy lines is a weak point & likely to come back to cause problems for the owner when the tent has been pitched during gusty windy weather conditions. I've read the replies & was hoping someone would say something about their experiences with this tent. HOT (forecast today is 105ºF - 40.5ºC) Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It's really an advantage of having an inner and outer tent connected. 😀 /Matti

[@T5Zplayer]

Used it it in all weathers in the UK, Lakes, Brecons all year round. It about the price point though, it is not an expensive tent so there is a comprimise. Im an ex soldier so have lived rough in the field, so trust me this kit is comfortable for the price.

[@BOMBERORAFA]

Too weight for obe person tent. Thanks for video!

[@T5Zplayer]

For a couple of days or an overnighter for the price???

[@notquiteultralight1701]

I really like your content sir and I’m glad i found you. Thsnks for this. NQU

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

That gives me a lot of energy to.make more videos. 😀 /Matti

[@Jeffbeck67]

where is the doggo ? ;)

[@moneeo-close-to-nature]

Ser inte så trångt ut, men får Annie plats att sova bredvid inne i tältet?

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Jag hade ju både Annie och Aija i tältet på en av filerna. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV6WYpyfo5Klo9k /Matti

[@T5Zplayer]

I have taken Lola a couple of times in this , its a bit tight for her and frankly she smells. When I take Lola I use my Wild Country Hoolie 2.

[@karlgreene2177]

The trouble with Robens is their customer service is dreadful and their warranty is not worth the paper it is written on.I had a Robens Starlight 2 the pole broke after 2 weeks and the tensioning straps were the wrong way around but the company told me those faults were my responsibility to sort out.I like the design but would never buy another of their tents again!

[@chrishatton1176]

That’s more like a Bivy than a tent.
