NatureHike Cloud Up 2 PRO - First Look At This Upgraded Tent

[@markoramius69]

I recommend you do the 5 modifications from Fiskmas Adventures. As an extra modification I recommend the one I came up with to give it that missing interior space. You need to create a central drag strap between the two layers so that when you put the outer side wind line it pulls the inner one. I used 2mm rope, 4 crocodile clips and two sleeping pad repair patches.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Good idea, thanks for your suggestion. Although I would be concerned that over time the crocodile clips will wear out/damage the outer fly 🤔 All the best 🏕️👍🏼

[@markoramius69]

@@GreeklishOutdoors 315 / 5.000 No, don't worry. The sleeping pad repair patches are for attaching flaps to the inside of the cover. The alligator clips will bite into those flaps, not the rain cover. I put bits of 2mm rope inside the flaps to give them thickness so the clip will bite in properly. I hope you understand.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

That’s makes sense. Thanks very much, I will give that a try 😊👍🏼🏕️

[@jurajantalik8528]

@@markoramius69 how it is connected into inner mesh tent? Only croc clips? Doesnt it cause any damage on inner?

[@TheBggaroTrips]

Thanks for the review, I will definitely buy this tent.

I’m happy you found it helpful 😊👍🏼 Have a great weekend 🏕️✌🏼☀️

[@sir_micho]

Thank you for this video. I'm about to buy my first tent for bikepacking trips and after researching the choice was Cloud Up 2 Upgraded. But then you showed up in my YT feed with Cloud Up 2 Pro which I have never heard of before. And it might be what I needed. Thank you.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

I’m glad you found the video useful 😊👍🏼 So far I can say it is a great tent and I’m very happy with the weight-size ratio. Whichever tent you decide, I wish you many successful camping trips. All the best 😊👍🏼🏕️

[@Silas-lf4cc]

I think it's the same thing as the upgraded from what I can make out

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Yes it’s very similar to the upgraded version. But there are a couple of differences, including the shape of the door. 🏕️👍🏼

[@shanelyon414]

Awesome review, thanks!

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Thanks a lot! Have a great day 👍🏼😊☀️🏕️

[@sheep.herder]

best review yet! watched another channel bag the hell out of it...unnecessarily. the new mods are not only great, but again at an unbeatable price.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Thanks very much 😊 Yes I think I might have seen that review recently. I agree, it’s a great tent, especially for the price. Have a great day 😊👍🏼

[@doransshield9176]

thanks for the review, currently have a cloud up 1 and have held the trigger on a new tent. This looks to be it 😅

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

I’m glad you found the video helpful. It is a great tent and I’m looking forward to taking it out in colder weather. All the best 😊👍🏼🏕️

[@АлександрЛитвин-п6и]

There is no weight difference between cloud up 2 20D nylon vs cloud up 2 pro 20D nylon, however poliester version 210T indeed heavier.

[@alireza4734]

I have been recently in search of a good tent bikepacking for 1 person. I was in doubt between Mckinley escape 20.1 and Cloud-up 2, but then I decided to go for Cloud-up 2 since the outer part can be removed and we can have a view from sky in summer. While searching, i got into Cloud-up 2 Pro and was really in doubt if it is good enough or not! And by your video, I'm now sure about Cloud-up 2 Pro :))) Thanks for the video

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

I’m glad the video helped you make your decision. It is a great tent and I look forward to taking out a lot more over the next few months. I hope you have great experience with it. All the best and have a nice weekend 😊👍🏼☀️🏕️

[@swws-video157]

Google knows nothing about this tent like it never existed.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Sometimes Google is a little strange about giving the correct information... but I've put a link in the video description to the page I purchased mine from. I hope that helps. 🙂👍

[@J.C9033]

I’m having the same problem with the information. Everywhere I look even on the naturehike site I can only see the cloud up 2 not the pro What is Ali express like for customer service 👍

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

@J.C9033 I’ve made a lot of purchases from AliExpress and only 1 out of 100 there has been an issue (I don’t buy from sellers with less than 92% rating). If you have a problem, they will refund your money, but you will have to send the item back. This tent was on the NatureHike.com page, but I can now only see it on their Australian site: www.naturehike.au/products/cloud-up-2-pro-two-person-lightweight-backpacking-tent?srsltid=AfmBOop2Oqzl6v99Rakul7EPzvO6w2DM1lJOUInQI7niRZ_hFqDolRrL This pro tent does seem to be a little rare and therefore I agree, easily available info is lacking. What I can say is that the quality of this is good and doesn’t differ from the NH standards. It’s definitely a tent I’ll be using from Autumn to Spring. I hope that helps 😊👍🏼🏕️

[@J.C9033]

Thanks for the information i appreciate it. Ive looked on Ali Express again and they still have it still👍

[@SetForAdventures]

I liked this Jono the weight is great genuinely light at 1.5kg👌🏻 The hight is ideal for a long night too Like the storm flap a great idea ! Great review mate ATB Simon 🤠👍

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Yes I agree mate, very light for a 2 person tent ⛺️ definitely great to have a little headroom 👌🏼 Thanks very much Simon. Have a great weekend 😊👍🏼☀️🏕️

[@harduphiker]

Wow, wish I'd seen this when I bought my Cloud Up 2 Upgraded - you can see on my review of this I talked about the very issues this seems to have solved - the full mesh door seemed a bit draughty for winter or spring, so it's now half mesh, the lower sides vs the high-riding sides, and the door which didn't bother me but was a bit of a squidge. Also semes they made the inner bigger, I'm just over 6ft and only just squeeze into mine Cloud Up 2 'Upgraded' with about 1-2 inches to spare, so I usually go diagonally. Only major downside - why no dark green? The sandy colour might be OK for winter, but for spring/summer, would stand out unless in bleached grass for wild camping. The emerald green Naturehike is PERFECT for woodland wild camps, it just blends in.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Yes I really like it and the issues that have been fixed from the original/upgraded version. I’m looking forward to trying it out in winter. Yes I agree dark green would be great. But the sand version I bought was definitely better than the grey alternative. Have a great evening 😊👍🏼🏕️

[@harduphiker]

@@GreeklishOutdoors I am very tempted to get this for winter...but I don't need another tent! LOL.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Good review

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

@@Musical_Miriam Thank you 🙏🏼😊💛

[@randymorrison5513]

Well, well, well it’s been a while since I used to go camping riding around the countryside on my motorcycle the whole West Coast of the United States. I think it would be a one person tent for me. Also, I have put on many many many miles back to Sturgis. Glacier. Yellowstone. Yosemite. Redwood. All over I think those days are history now…

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Wow it sounds like you’ve been on some great adventures Randy 👌🏼⛺️👍🏼 Yes for me it’s a one person tent too. Especially as I like to keep my gear in the tent. It’s never too late to get in the outdoors. In fact next week my Dad is visiting and hopefully I’ll be taking him camping 😊👍🏼🏕️☀️ Have a great weekend my friend ☀️

[@Musical_Miriam]

👍

[@Healslo1]

I notice the hooks for the tent to the Aluminium spine are no longer inverted but one way hooks. Is that right? How do you feel about this? Also love the review!!=) 3:00

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Yes that is correct. I actually prefer it this way. The older inverted hooks were also good, but could sometimes be a little fiddly to get off, when taking the tent down. Thanks very much 😊 Have a great weekend 😊☀️🏕️

[@harduphiker]

Seems the same clips as my Cloud Up 2 V2 'Upgraded version'...so I think they have changed that with the V2 of this tent

[@fizpop]

Thanks for the revue! Can you confirm something for me, is the inner the same width at the head and the foot end or does it taper slightly?

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Good question. I’ve just measured it now and the floor width of the inner is the same at the front and back (49.5 inches/123.75 cm) when both sides are pulled tight (as would be the case when staked out). I hope that helps. All the best 😊👍🏼🏕️

[@WanderingHighlander]

Подскажите недавно вышла палатка Naturehike Cloud Up 2 Pro 20D. Это оригинал или копия от другого производителя? А то про приставку PRO нигде нет никакой информации.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Я думаю, что она появилась совсем недавно. Я постоянно ищу палатки на сайте NatureHike и AliExpress. Однажды (около 2-3 месяцев назад) она просто появилась. Это модификация NatureHike Cloud Up 2/Cloud Up 2 Upgrade, так что это не полностью оригинальная палатка. На рынке есть несколько палаток с похожим дизайном, но я не знаю, откуда взялся оригинальный дизайн этой палатки.

[@WanderingHighlander]

@@GreeklishOutdoors мне некоторые продавцы заявляют, что это подделка Филлипинской компании и что она ниже качеством, чем Naturehike Cloud Up 2 20d. Но проверить возможности у меня нет. Может быть меня обманывают в магазине? Вы сравнивали качество палаток Naturehike Cloud Up 2 20d и Naturehike Cloud Up 2 Pro 20d? Не заметили что в версии Pro качество хуже? Или такое же? Или лучше? Тоже есть силиконовая пропитка?

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Это определенно не подделка и такого же качества, как и другие палатки NatureHike. Определенно не хуже. Это палатка хорошего качества (особенно за такую ​​цену). Я не говорю, что это оригинальный дизайн, но большинство палаток таковыми не являются. Эта профессиональная версия очень похожа на оригинальную Cloud up 2, с несколькими небольшими изменениями, включая более высокую входную дверь. Лично я очень доволен профессиональной палаткой и не могу дождаться, чтобы снова протестировать ее, когда погода станет прохладнее. Когда я это сделаю, я сделаю следующее видео.

[@WanderingHighlander]

@@GreeklishOutdoors спасибо.

[@StPatricksResidentsAssociation]

Did you receive the tent free from Naturehike?

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Nope. As I said in the video, I purchased this on AliExpress 🏕️ This is the case with all the items I review.

I’m 187 cm (approx. 6’2”). I hope that helps 👍🏼🏕️

[@janso1524]

@@GreeklishOutdoors thanks I’m 189 so do you think the tent is long enough for me?

@janso1524 Yes I think you should be fine. Your head will probably touch the roof of the tent when sat up straight, but when you are lying down I believe you will be comfortable. 😊👍🏼🏕️

[@ngprt]

Where do you get this from?

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

Hello. I bought mine from AliExpress (see link below). I hope that helps. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007037185032.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.404.1e1b1802zbqXN3

@@GreeklishOutdoors Im switching between me Forclaz MT500 from Decathlon. Why is mine like 2,8kg and the Naturehike is 1,4kg? Thats like half the weight? The MT500 is 75D Polyester, that might be It? But does it REALLY make a noticeable difference to have „more robust textiles“? Could you do me a favor and look at the Decathlon tent :/? I mean i know alot about the technical stuff but if a tent double the weight doesnt make it up While trekking, i dont want it. Even the ultralight tents from decathlon Are Heavy as fck :/ but i love the Rest of them.

[@ngprt]

@@GreeklishOutdoors i actually Never Order from aliexpress because im afraid i dont get the 20d version or Not the upgraded one :/ what Are your experiences?

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

I've just had a quick look at the Decathlon tent. If you compare the weight of the components for each tent, the MT500 fly is 1075 g, the bedroom (inner) is 835 g, tent poles are 600 g and the pegs are 180 g. Whereas for the Cloud up 2 pro, the fly is 360 g, the inner is 340 g, the poles are 475 g and the pegs are 130 g. The difference in the pole weight is expected as the MT500 has 3 poles versus the single pole for the Cloud up 2 pro. But the major difference is the weight of the fabric. The 75D polyester of the MT500 is quite a bit heavier than the 20D Nylon of the Cloud up 2 pro. Yes that means the MT500 is a bit tougher and also has a the same hydrostatic head rating. However, I don't think you need all that extra weight for regular camping. There is also more netting with the Cloud up 2, which is obviously lighter. I have a couple of Decathlon tents and I really like them, but as you say, they are heavy. I also have several NatureHike tents and they have worn very well too. The Cloud Up 2 pro will hopefully last me a long time. If you want something tougher, but with still an ok weight, the regular Cloud up 2 is fine and is still much lighter than the MT500. I hope that helps.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

I've ordered from AliExpress many times over the past couple of years and only ever had one issue, which was sorted out by the company pretty quickly. Originally I too was nervous about buying from the company, as I don't have money to waste, but now I'm pretty confident in buying from there. Just make sure you go to one of the Official NatureHike AliExpress pages.

Good morning I need two person's tent

This could be the tent for you…. But it will be warm for 2 people in the summer. If you want a 2 person tent with more space, then I’d recommend the 3F UL Gear Shell2 tent (I’ve previously reviewed it) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGLbgGOnasuepbMsi=r2fCVbuM38OQnO2R 😊👍🏼🏕️
