TETON SPORTS MOUNTAIN ULTRA 1 PERSON TENT
What it is : This is a 3 season 1 person tent from the company known as Teton Sports. This is a budget friendly shelter that I have high hopes that I can ultimately recommend.
Before I can, I need to take a close look at the shelter and then test it out. Coming soon!
Back in 2017 I reviewed this tent and ultimately recommended and with it being 2022, this tent has changed some and it is time to reevaluate this product.
Agenda Free Link : tetonsports.co...
Weight : 4.4lbs
Materials :
RAINFLY MATERIAL: 66D 3MM Ripstop Polyester
INNER TENT WALL MATERIAL: 150D Polyester Oxford
INNER TENT WALL MESH: B3 FR Micro Mesh
FLOOR MATERIAL: 150D Polyester Oxford
Pole : T6 Aluminum
Storage Bag : 66D 3mm Ripstop Polyester
Dimensions Stored : 21 x 5
Dimensions Setup Interior : 80 x 30 x 41
Price : $110 retail (purchased during a sale on the Teton website for $83

Versions : 1, 2, 3, 4 person variants
Initial Thoughts :
Quality ?
Stitching
Seam Tape
Zipper ?
Can you open tent with one hand?
Setup
Size?
Pole quality ?
Lots of mesh - excellent air flow
Weight
Size
Lifetime warranty
…….
How the 2022 version is different than the 2017 version.
Luckily I still have my notes to compare important details
The new 2022 version is smaller by 2” in all dimensions when setup.
Dimensions: 82" x 32" x 39.5"
Packed Dimensions are virtually the same.
The newest version is slightly less heavy - 4.4lbs compared to 4.7 of the older version.
Teton sports used to state the hydrostatic rating but no longer does so. The fly was rated at 3000mm but this is no longer stated.
The materials are different; the older version featured a high denier rain fly
The older version included a groundsheet whereas the new one does not.
The price of the old version was $130 retail, I paid $118 for it back then.
…..
With these changes the only big con that I see is the change in size; cutting 2” from each dimension could translate to a tent that simply will not work for all individuals instead they will have to get either a 2 person tent or go with a different product entirely.
The change in materials isn’t that big of a deal as long as the overall performance is similar.
Coming up I will begin with my testing of this product and we will see how well it performs in the rain. That is a big question for me.
It is my hope that this tent performs well as I would love to be able to recommend this tent and even the larger sizes for those who are looking for budget options.

[@TetonGear]

Thank you so much for the review, Luke! We are so happy that we share the love of amazing quality for gear that's at a great price. :)

[@McTAnGuS]

Excellent to the see the manufacturer in the comments

[@efromhb]

Yes super cool to see a comment from Teton. I've used your packs for years now and am looking forward to the Ultra 3 for car camping under the stars.

[@fairwind8222]

Please please give us some stealth earth colors! My new white one really stands out in the woods

[@gerardohuerta6925]

Just used my Ultra 3 this past weekend. We got hit by a strong thunderstorm with about an inch of rain in 45 mins and pea size hail, the tent took it like a champ and did not leak. Awesome product for the price!

[@bimteck]

When Luke says something is good you can rest assured that it's an honest review.

[@itsjustme7911]

My experience with Teton has been great. I recently damaged my Teton XXL cot. 1000% my fault. I purchased it from Amazon in 2019. I contacted Teton to see if I could purchase a replacement piece and they asked for a picture of the tag, the damage, and my reciept. I received the replacement piece in 2 days with no charge. So nice to see such great service.

[@adventureswithsteve2981]

Good to hear that lifetime warranty being fulfilled

[@bopeton]

I feel like the quality of manufactured things, even relatively expensive things, goes down year by year. So, seeing a review like this just makes me happy. It's great to see.

[@djschultz1502]

I will definitely send them a message. They do have quality products and budget friendly. Because of Teton sports I can take adventures hiking and it didn't break the bank to do it. The weight of their products are a bit heavier than the more expensive products, but I would rather carry the extra weight than not be able to get out at all. Their backpacks are tough and good quality. Thanks always Luke for your continued testing of budget friendly products. Your videos saves people so much money and more people are able to get outdoors knowing the products you test are reliable.

[@doms.6701]

I think that's true of some brands but there are a few gems that continue to uphold their quality

[@christianb8228]

Not true for all companies to use big Agnes as an example Big Agnes always makes some high quality products

[@wolfeadventures]

Love these rain tests. I don’t know anyone else doing the level of testing you are. Bravo.

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

Check out grunt proof…. He legit breaks things others say it’s good to go

[@paulc7551]

I saw that pool of water on the fly and thought "oh no this is going to be a bad one", glad to see that the tent held up. you are right Luke, there is a lack of quality products out there at a decent price-point, it seems that companies have jumped on the popularity bandwagon over the past ten tears or so, quality has fallen to manufacturing output and marketing, brands who once were symbolic of quality have fallen on their swords in blatant cost reduction measures. Well done to the crew at Teton sports for reversing this trend. Just a suggestion for night shots, can you do some shots with the tent lit from inside by a lantern in your rain test videos (I think you do some of those in your stealth series)...Great work as always.

[@markboheman5691]

Lol. Luke is giddy over a product that actually delivers and I can’t blame him. Hope to see more Teton Sports gear reviewed!

[@richarddemas5262]

Nice to see an entry level priced tent that performs solidly.

[@ArlanKels]

As a non-camper that is crazy good for the price to me.

[@imnottageek9876]

I've had a Teton Sports Canvas Tent and sleeping bag for a few years... so far, they have been fantastic! Glad to see that my experience wasn't a fluke.

[@barrybear2012]

Just ordered this and used the coupon code "TETONIAN" to get the tent for $84. Thanks Luke!

[@efromhb]

Thank you for sharing. Just ordered the Ultra 3 and footprint.

[@bradheni2216]

I just got the Mountain Ultra 2 and I am very impressed. I set it up yesterday expecting rain overnight. Not only did we get rain, but a 1/2" of snow overnight as well. I was a little nervous when I went outside to see snow standing on the tent, however it was completely dry!

[@bimteck]

I have the vista one camp set for my luxury camping adventures and then I also have the 4 person version of this tent. I haven't had any issues with either of them and I have dealt with their customer service as well which is industry leading and top notch. Absolutely 0 complaints with this company.

[@DoseofDirt]

Man I love Teton Sports! I thought for sure there would be leaking because of that pooling, but glad to see that Teton Sports pulled through! Great video!

[@benlaw4647]

Awesome tent ....for under 100 dollars, can't beat the quality.....thanks luke.....strength and honor....🙏

[@lloydryder5219]

Been watching your reviews for a long time and subscribed today because you are brutally honest. Been tent camping since 1963 and have no plans to stop until I can't. Keep up the great work.

[@fivestarz3s]

I ordered a Teton Ultra 3 a couple days ago on Amazon. I received in in less than 48 hours with prime. I'm ready for camping the checklist is getting smaller. Regardless of the tent, you should always put a tarp over your tent for many reasons like birdshit, rain, sun rays, etc... The Teton tent is ranked #2 in the world for it's price so it's a steal of a deal. Get one because they are starting to get backorder everywhere. Some colors are already backorder on Amazon and other sites... for a good reason. It's the best tent money can buy a smart camping investment for the long term. This tent is insane and i'm glad I secured one A+++

[@Druid99]

Great review. Blessings. Did not match, in any way, my assumptions regarding this product. I remember, as a kid, saving up and paying more than $100 for a Coleman tent that leaked like a sieve, like a screen door!😄. Sub-$100 for a non-leaker is EPIC.

[@McTAnGuS]

I messaged them on twitter, a week ago, I have one coming from Amazon that comes from the USA. I bought it based on the videos and some user reviews. One particularly where they sent the person a brand new backpack when all he wanted was a discount due to a house fire. That speaks volumes about the customer care. They got back to on twitter and where super nice and said any issues to get in touch. Its little things like this that make companies stand out these days.

[@fairwind8222]

Just got home from my first hike/night with my new ultra1. The weather was great so not much of a test, but had a a perfect night. My only complaint is the colors, I was stealth camping out of site out of mind, with the whit tent it glows in the dark against the green pine, and the full moon lite it up like a UFO had landed in the woods

[@anthonyzummo867]

I watch many reviews on products and then take them all and make a judgement call on which would match my needs. But when it comes to ANYTHING waterproof, I only really check this channel because of how thorough the tests are done. Thank you for helping me make my decision in ordering one of these in grey and they're still on sale for $90

[@elizabethingram9784]

Thanks, Luke!

[@bobbanda469]

Getting back to hiking/trekking,being on a fixed budget your video is extremely helpful in keeping myself from making mistakes

[@kentuckyhiker7071]

Teton Sports seems like they have got it together. I had a backpack a few years ago, and it was actually a very decent pack for the money! Thanks for the video and keep em coming!!

[@GrumpyGrunt]

Nope. I totally thought it would leak a little. Great to see an affordable tent that doesn't have major design flaws and leak like a sieve. Thanks for the thoughtful diligence on these revies, Luke. Much appreciated. You guys stay well over there. It looks like some more weather headed you way now!

[@ledicarusmedia]

Thank you! This is the review video I've been waiting for. The Teton Mountain Ultra tent is on the top of my list of potential purchases for this year. Great review.

[@massivedynamic2339]

I bought mine based on your reviews. GREAT tent! On the 3 and 4 man versions you can pull the fly away from the body and they come with the 360 ventilation system giving you a vent on each side. No condensation with all the vents open

[@terrym1065]

And with a "Lifetime Warranty" it's hard to beat even if not on sale. The one man size is too small for me but they have other sizes that will fit. Looks good to me if quality runs through out the product line. Thanks Luke👍👍for another real review.

[@FUNKRUBICON]

I recently purchased the Teton Sports Vista 1 with the cot and large rain fly, I sat on it a while but after watching the Emporium Outdoors channel putting the tent through its paces in Manitoba I figured it would work for me. Glad I did! Held up well on a two nighter so far, for the price I really think Teton has a good thing going.

[@Steve_S544]

I bought the 4 person version of this tent with the exact same results as you. Excellent quality, and no leaking at all. The 4 person version did not have the pooling issue on the rain fly either. Thanks so much for this awesome recommendation, only decided to get this tent because of your channel. Keep up all the good work, and thank you for all of the awesome content. Also if you have the name of the song you used at the end of "Part 4 - Off-Grid Toyota Tundra Truck Camping Adventure - Utah to NC Road Trip" That'd be much appreciated. Asking for my wife :)

[@johnmckee9449]

I’m so glad to see a budget tent perform so well. Congratulations to TETON Sports. Please keep reviewing Teton sports products. It might turn out that they’re one of the best budget brands on the market. Thanks Luke. Keep up the great work.

[@scottthomas7189]

Thanks for your past reviews of their tent. I just had my three person Teton tent delivered last night and I purchased it based on your review. Love the work you do and again thanks a bunch and keep up trekking

[@jeffsoutdoorsadventures8842]

I love my Teton Sports products. They are a little on the heavy side, but the quality of of the products and price point really are impressive. Rather than a email, comment on their twitter account. They love it. Great video Luke. As always.

[@evildead1791]

Just got the 2 person version of this tent, currently testing it for leaks. The quality is insane, everything looks great on thos tent, no loose threads or issues anywhere, i cant even say that about my lite fighter 1 tent, that tent has loose threads and wonky netting in few places. Great job teton sports!

[@chrisschell90]

What is the weight?

[@evildead1791]

@@chrisschell90 the two person weighs a little over 7 pounds

[@sebastien3351]

I have sewn alot of backpacking gear for myself and my two sons. 3 backpacks, 1 sleeping bag, rain chaps, etc. You can sew on a "tab" to your tent and attached string/cord and make a connection that will enable you to stake out the rear portion of your tent.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Glad you featured this one and the outcome! I need to get a tent for my kids as we are getting a little cramped in mine. Time to get their own and this will fit the bill.

[@brnrecluse2946]

Excellent episode, Luke! People are usually so quick to offer negative feedback on a product. It's incredibly rare to hear a positve statement or some encouragement. Well done. Strength and honor!

[@joeykerr5517]

I love seeing a good tent for a good price. I was thinking about how you mentioned the fly could use more room. That's one of the reasons I like tarp clips. They are handy for so many things. Great review!

[@pchelloo]

Two thumbs up to the Teton Company! Thanks to this review, I'll look forward to checking out Teton gear.

[@HikingFeral]

Thanks for the video luke. You're one of the best and most honest channels on KZbin.

[@doms.6701]

Teton was the first tent and pack I ever bought. Got both off Amazon for less than $200. I highly recommend Teton to everyone who is interested in the outdoors but not sure if it's for them.

[@RC-74]

I've been looking for an inexpensive but not crappy tent for a while. Thanks for the reviews on this one! I just ordered mine!

[@brad7232]

I bought my one man tent from them a few years ago and it’s been great. I just wished I could’ve got a color other than yellow. Oh well. Thanks for the work Luke.

[@masterprediction7353]

Definitely the best outdoor gear reviewer on KZbin, keep up the good work you save people a lot of headache.

[@fatmanfaffing4116]

Just emailed Teton Sports and linked to your review. I bought their 3700 and 5200 packs for my daughter and I to kick off hiking; great value for money gear. We hammock camp but if she wants a tent, this will be the first choice. We trust you and your opinions, cobber.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

I've purchased a few Teton products and been very pleased with performance. Especially the 0 temp bag.

[@GEOPUZZLE]

The work you put into your presentations is obvious, and, much appreciated. Real world tests instead of dining room unboxings.

[@loulou6217]

Thanks for the review, I just purchased a mountain ultra 4p based off your first review of this tent. It cost me $189.00 for the 4 person.

[@takingawalkadventures]

I liked how the Teton sports held up in the rain. nice pick up for 80 dollars on sale. I will definitely have to check it out myself. always enjoy your Honest reviews

[@gunar2322]

So nice to see a product actually do what it is supposed to do with a price that is fair. Reminds me of the good days when companies took pride in their products and built them to last!

[@mollyisenbarger1]

Kudos to Teton Sports for making such a high quality tent affordable for everyone! All the gear adds up cost wise, so it's nice to have a tent in that price range be such high quality! A tent is not where you want to sacrifice quality! Now everyone can have a reliable tent, even on a budget! Way to go, Teton Sports! I don't need a tent, but I will look at their other products just because I like the way they do things!

[@Yahoobaahoo45]

Thanks man. I love you're reviews I wasn't sure about a Teton tent until now. So this is my next tent.

[@simonward4520]

We have a range in UK called OEX and they are great for the money. The bobcat is a pitch outer first, I love this as you can use as a quick pitch shelter if caught in a rain storm, one main pole and four pegs and out of rain. Great review as always. I am always shocked by how good the quality is versus the price.

[@roylindsey7030]

I want to start by saying that I have enjoyed watching your review videos. I must say that you're extremely thorough to almost excess. Your channel gives the outdoor enthusiast critical information needed to make an informed purchase and I like that even though I am not in the woods every weekend. This video made me ask how often do you review a leaky tent? You seemed supremely pleased and shocked that an $80 tent didn't leak. My girls were in American Heritage Girls for almost ten years(similar to Girl Scouts but Christian based). We went on camping trips once or sometimes twice a year and used an Ozark Trial without a single problem and I can tell you it was family sized and didn't cost much over $100. We didn't camp during storms but it rained a couple times and it worked great. I was just amazed after watching some of your other videos especially the one that had standing puddles inside and the price you paid, that they leaked when my el cheapo did the job just fine. We are going camping this weekend, first time in awhile. It's supposed to get down into the 30's at night. Wish me luck. Thanks for the videos.

[@RWorley3sl]

It happens a lot, if you have time binge his other videos.

[@duckman559]

I just bought this off your review …Thnx bud…… I almost got the Atepa hiker 1….. I appreciate you and your channel……

[@davidduafala3050]

reviews like this are why I come here. Good job

[@UtiNo6]

This makes me excited for this brand as I recently bought their Explorer 4000 Backpack and have been looking at their other gear too. Might pull the trigger and get this as a backup to my hammock set up.

[@pipnice1]

yeh.... I bought that backpack last yr for my girl whom was getting into hiking n camping with me....Didn't want to spend high end on a pack/sleeping bag for her till I knew she enjoyed(she does). I am so impressed with that pack honestly and also how the frame comes out if you don't want that depending on ur hike/camp. Enjoy it. Love how he reviewed this. Gd to know thier tents are good too. I wonder if a larger tent by them would be the same.

[@benjaminhymes1219]

Nice review I own Tetons sports backpacks and sleeping bags and always thought the quality was decent and they've never let me down. Please continue to review Teton sports products they allow many of us to enjoy the outdoors on a budget.

[@kevinyoung9557]

I bought one a few days ago.Thank you for the review..Love the channel.

[@MarleyFett]

I had bought a similar economy tent for bike touring by nature hike...so wish I had bought this instead. I noticed more head room and loft storage. I like the color also... 😂

Sooo.. Would you recommend the Teton mountain ultra over the nature hike mongar?? I know the weight difference is significant. I do mostly motorcycle/car camping so weight is not a huge issue.

[@marcogenovesi8570]

One would think "not leaking" was actually more common, but good on Teton for making a proper tent at an affordable price

good work Teton sports Mountain Ultra tent. great test for the tent. glad to see that it stayed dry. The price is good for the one-person tent. I like the two-person tents myself.

[@ag1382]

Just started watching. At least the cost per drop of water in tent is much less than a leaking $400.00 tent. And, the videos with you suffering inside a leaking tent are much more entertaining. :-)

[@JBC_cat]

Good stuff. Sounds like a great entry level tent for people looking to experience some hiking and camping without breaking the bank. Color looks really nice for hunting season in my area. For the price and warranty You can't go wrong.

[@FatBlokeDoingStuff]

I think you just helped me decide on a tent for bikepacking, thank you!

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

I’m pretty shocked. This tent is basically the same as the MSR Hubb Hubba but for under $100. I haven’t commented in a while, but I was so shocked I had to say something.

As an owner of the 1p and 3p older versions, i''m happy to see the new version does not leak. It is a bummer they reduced the 1p size. My older version is a tight fit with 25 inch wide pad

[@carlplath1]

Looks good. No loose threads and the seams have been taped.

[@one2869]

I have had Teton Sports products in the past and never had any real issues with their products. It didn't surprise me at all that it didn't leak. Although I really don't "need" another tent. I am seriously considering buying this very tent. A cheaper spare that I know I can count on. A spare if someone is going with me that doesn't have a tent. I do agree about this tent needing to have a pull out where you said for added ventilation. Would probably solve the ponding issue at the same time. If I do buy it, I think maybe I will take a couple of my tarp clips and stake those out. If my theory is correct I will have solved 2 problems at once. Dang! Now I have to go out and buy one just because I have to know.

[@UltraAbyss012]

I watch this channel all the time and just realized I wasn't subscribed. I'm man enough to say that's my bad. 😂 keep up the great content!
