Glad to see you gave an honest review and called a hunk of junk a hunk of junk. The vast majority of KZbinrs who get a product given to them by a manufacturer will give positive reviews to get more free stuff, which is why most can't be trusted for an honest review. So, thank you for giving a genuine opinion.

[@garypointing5825]

Bloody hell. A KZbin video that actually says something negative. That's why I've subscribed

[@kentwood9821]

I think it looks really promising as a bivvy tent plus. LOVE that you can open/shut a window from within, I hate how blind to the world I feel in most tents. I think your concerns about wind are a bit...overblown! That said I haven't tried it myself yet and appreciate your review. I love OneWinds creativity and willingness to think outside the current fads. Not all experiments succeed of course and the jury is out on this one, but again I see a lot of promise here.

[@ed7540]

I’ve been a supporter since 2019. And this is why I love your work straight forward and honest 👍👍. You have saved me so much money over the years. Thank you Dan.

[@davidsargent]

A good honest review, keep up the good work. Nice to see your videos again

[@trevorloveridge4387]

Nice to see you always giving an honest review as you say no point in not telling the truth or it will backfire an you will cop the backlash, honesty is the best action matey Maybe they should bring you onto the development team, let’s hope they listen to you and take your points on board and consult with you 😁👍🏻

[@BradleyChlopas]

Can’t beat an honest review. You’ve hit the bad points but you’ve also covered the good parts, and then to give your honest opinion about them as a company as well is respectable for all parties.

[@richardbridge6198]

good review, very interesting tent, some very unique ideas

[@richardgell9563]

You have been up front and honest that's the best way to be .

[@jeffprice2210]

They asked for your review and you gave it thorough and honest Regards Jeff

[@freddyoutdoors]

I really like that tent but definitely not 4 season tent thanks for sharing mate ace watch

[@MikeClavetteSr]

not a chance...thanks for your honest opinion on this tent.....here in the States this tent costs 170.00USD....... Walmart offer alot better tents for alot less money built better ....One wind definitely didnt think this one thru to well !!! ...... I also think they hurt their reputation with this one too !!! .... I own several of their products and love them !......I'm 65 and have bought alot of gear in my life and this one is definitely on my radar without some major reform to make it a 3 season tent .......thanks for all you do my Friend !!

[@MrLeesv650]

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY MATE, GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Great honest review. Looks to me like in the fourth season a good snowfall would crush it.

[@neiwar]

You shouldn’t apologise for providing your legitimate, honest and knowledgeable review mate. Stop apologising!! They sent it to you for an honest review. You did that. It’s definitely not a 4 season. 2 at best. A lot of these companies try to be everything to everybody, rather than doing fewer products well. I’ll wait till I see your camp using it…on a windy, rainy night. (Just set up a decent tent beside it if you need to move into that)…

[@r1chc4ss]

It's flawed sure, but for a summer tent, I love it! Tarp and mesh Bivvy in one! Then close it up at night. Version 2 should be ace😂

[@brokenfingers6839]

You're absolutely correct. There's no support, Tieing out won't work. Just no vertical or arch to stop the high winds

[@wulliescottishoutdoors]

Great honest review mate the shape of it looks nice but it looks like a summer tent for a wee camp in the woods, keep up the good work mate. Atb Wullie

[@Renegademindstayfree]

It's more like a snugpak style bivi but with loads more head room and space with some added extra features.

[@gavintimson5940]

I would like it as a summer tent.

[@sergeantcrow]

Interesting tent... Versatile...

[@Dave-pedalandpitch]

Always enjoy your videos👌👍

[@cindymitchell6719]

TY for your honesty.

[@simonjones6225]

I'll just stick with mi oex phoxx 2 v2 had it a couple years now never ever let me down it's the perfect tent,absolute bomb shelter 😊

[@AdventureswithMud]

Its definitely an interesting piece of gear. Bivy bag/ tent sort of thing. Its cool in its own way, but can see where maybe not greatest in the high wind. Thanks for sharing, neat to see new ideas for gear. Nothing wrong with giving your honest opinion brother. I got a unigear campfire p3 mattress, pretty sure it was your review, that made me feel its a good option for me. And I'm pleased with it, my hips never hit the ground. 👍

[@barbaragravely920]

This is for summer for sure no wind or rain. They should make it better all around. Id have to send it back for a refund jus my thouts. Love ya Buddy thanks for this showing of ONEWIND.

[@barbaragravely920]

Use a full cup of water and pour onto .

[@IanFeatherstone-k7u]

Keep up the good work I love the outdoors

[@markwatts9937]

It’s definitely one wind, one wind and it be off

[@Lonewolf__00000]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EclipseAdventureTravels]

I think Dan you may just be missing the point of the concept! This is a very adaptable tarp style "bivvy" tent, with many different setup options. As far as the 4 Seasons branding, it could be used in snow and rain, if you had used the tie-off points on the sides to make the structure more stable under windy conditions. The vent flap also has a tie-off point to pull it away from the main body of the tent. The materials used look very durable, considering they are promoting this as a cheap backpacking trekking pole tent. Each to their own I suppose!

[@lingerslongest]

Yup, get rid of the idea of light-weight summer hiking or camping in the winter mountains; this is for bugging out in the woods all year round. Instead of a tarp (still take a bivvy bag) this can do any set-up : from a discreet "beach shelter" when setting up in daylight, opposite a fire, tarp mode, full tent mode. Almost perfect...they can pick up on some improvements that were highlighted.

[@IvanDP1967]

Nice review EW, and good to see your unbiased honesty. It looks like an attempt to improve the hooped bivvy, but still needs a bit of work to perfect it. Looking forward to you trying it out in the field.

[@WayneHardy-yi7tk]

Reminds me of the fishing brollys with the sides on what a load of crap 🤣

[@michaellaing2067]

Great review Dan

[@jamieofarrell4235]

Another excellent, very honest review Dan. Thanks 👍

[@bugoutbrad8395]

Oddball design Dan. Onewind does have, some good suff. Very strange Thanks, for the video mate. Cheers 🍻

[@markrawstron3104]

Fantastic honest review Dan this is why your up there with the best love your channel keep doing what you do if you can would you do a follow up letting us all know if the company had any interaction with you after this review and if they're prepared to do any changes to the tent because of what you said would be interesting cheers DAN 👍

[@bobhead6243]

It reminds me of a small section of my Vango semi geodesic tent , Great video mate , I like the way you have presented this one .🙂

[@johnking5730]

Interesting concept tent and applaud the idea, but agree with you Dan that it is a summer fair weather tent. Who tested it before going to market 😞

[@rufusduck71]

Thats interesting because i have a radical tent design ive been working on and there are similar ideas on that . Im loving one wind they inovate new designs and ideas ,with good materials at light weights and good colours . I have quite a lot of there products now price point is great also . I wonder if i can get them to make my tent design 🤔?

[@vespasian266]

Yrs back I envisioned a similar design, A sort of umbrella over head end of a bivi.

[@eatmynoobfood7461]

Tarp / tent hybrid type of thing. 👍

[@louiseR776]

Your video's are down to earth. Especially good for people getting this tent. I hate reading instructions, I'm terrible and miss steps as I'm dyslexic. I'd rather watch someone put it all together first and learn from that. Does it need more strings to help with the wind strength or another pole perhaps? Looks ideal from summer, warmer months to me.

[@janvanoverdijk8116]

Hey Dan ... thxs voor de eerlijke video ... ik blijf je volgen !!! grtz. Janneman uit Nederland

[@mickbound9790]

I would love it if you could design your own tent. That could be a new challenge this year for you, and if all goes well, make a limited amount, and if the reviews come back great, make more. Yes, it will be costly, but it could be a new adventure in life for you.

[@TanyaRando]

Great review, thoughtful and honest. I'd want it more sturdy for the wind and rain in Wales.

[@philparkinson462]

Great video mate..looks like a head extended version of a snugpak stratosphere or similar but no way four season. It's an extended bivvy bag in essence which fails by design.

[@sqd8r]

Subscribed. I think I will still give this tent a try; what can I say, I'm a bit of an anorak, but I take all your pts as valid concerns. I definitely do not see it as a winter tent.

[@mattfinch3895]

Night fishing. 👋. Definitely.

[@bucketlister1]

Great 2 season tent, tho. I'd buy this. But I'd add a bunch of extra guys around pole area and a couple sets of poles to open tarp kinda set up. Nice for a quick summer camp. But nope re summit camping! Don't think it'd cope with clag of any sort!!! Water test, please...

[@stevesmith5717]

Very honest review I think Dan

[@cardyz1]

i don't even camp, but English woodsman make me want to camp :P great video buddy

[@Jimmynitro76]

That looks like a cheap Walmart tent! I love that the window flap and gear pocket are designed to hang down in your face!

[@HB-OutdoorsUK]

Great honest feedback Dan, I think 2 season would be a push! Did the designer come up with this whilst on the pop😅 Looks like they've tried to create a tent, bivvy and tarp all in one and failed badly.

[@beerfrog_TheOriginal]

Like you said, thinking outside the box and from that perspective it becomes interesting, but from a usability perspective I’m not so sure about this one. I mean the ”shelter” mode you showed, shelter from what? The sun if it’s high in the sky maybe to provide shade? But for rain and wind it looks to minimalistic 😅 Stay safe all 👋🇸🇪

[@forddude1976]

I don't think it's a winter tent, good honest review. They may now change a few bits

[@petervare]

Love your videos mate😊😊

[@sammcloughlin9291]

Fair play for an honest review... its ok these companies putting comfort ratings or 4 season on products to shift them but not everyone knows how to weigh up if they're actually up to the job then they take them out into ridiculous conditions and mountain rescue end up having to save ppl... should be a standardised testing for all of these products... end of the day they're potentially safety equipment

[@hamzaselmi5674]

Great vidéo

[@Martycycleman]

I'm with you Dan 2 or maybe 3 season with careful pitching. Really good ventilation dont think that big vent would be to much of a problem in the correct season.

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

I think you are right in saying it’s not a 4 season tent and it’s good to be honest when reviewing things, what I want to know is where do you put your rucksack? 🤔

[@thomasshafe]

That’s for the honest reviews. It’s a strange looking design indeed.

[@RootsLion]

thing that shape been on ali express for months looking like a boat awning lol

[@jodie01]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the end vent/window going to catch rain? I think it would dump water inside the tent when you unzip any of the door or window zippers in wet weather. Also, that pocket looks like it will be hanging in your face all night. It does look pretty good for Aussie summer camping, but I don't think I'd want to do an English winter camp in it.

[@Morio412]

I bivvy and tarp all the time, might go hammack, this seems to be a step up from the hooped bivvy. At 2.6lbs I guess its a low weight hiker aiming for the lanshan 1 and other hiking pole 1 man tent market. I personally like the air vent as its a way to combat condensation, would I go 4 seasons in it, maybe with a tarp over the top or as a wind wall, but defo 2 seasons or 2 seasons+ maybe a 3. In the UK it could probably use except when snow and frost on the ground.

[@michaelsens990]

Thanks Dan for the honest review, nevertheless, take this tent in Summer to the Lake District and you are on a Suicide mission!!! This thing is just a mess🥶🥶🥶

[@paulandrews7622]

Suicide mission ?? Just the job, cos it looks like a Nylon Coffin. Not a good design at all.

[@Soggz7785]

It’s more of a big bivvy, isn’t it? Don’t think I would bother with it, tbh. For the size internally, I prefer my Robens Starlight 1. Try it, would love to see your review on one. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@geoffraper4836]

I think it's a start for kids to get started in the garden

[@shawnr6117]

The vent would be better with a full zip with 2 pulls instead of the 2 side zips, probably flap a bit less in the wind.

[@simonjones6225]

You want to make videos on the flye no pun intended 😂

[@ExploringwithAdrian]

I am not convinced with this tent does not look strong enough, Dan you need to take it out in the field give it a good test… Ady

[@oscars4107]

Photo Bombed by a Dawgy😂😂😂

[@joshuacarr9738]

Like a phoxx 1

[@angelanicholls9647]

It looks shabby. It would be better using it to put over a babys pram to keep the rain off. 😂😂😂 definitely for summer

[@vespasian266]

What they're really asking is will you advertise our tent. I don't mind as we do need tents to be showcased by someone. As a bivi tent its a pretty good concept. You also need ventilation in these bivi tents so the air vent at the back is a plus. My main concern is what fabric?. is it cheap or quality?.

[@KrisRogos]

It's almost like it was designed by two teams that didn't talk to each other. With all the poles on the head end, you would want that facing into the wind, but then the mesh window not having a cover means that you would want to face that side away from the wind-quite a strange one.

[@TE_Studiosツ]

👌👌

[@shinst1681]

nice idea , but looks venerable in rain ,wind ,

[@Outandaboutonashoestring]

I can clearly see what you mean about it not being a 4 season but don't apologise for your opinion and views, you're being honest which is what they wanted. Thing is though Dan if you didn't want it I'll happily take it off your hands 😂

[@pops6638]

To me this looks more like a roomy ‘posh’ Bivvy, than a tent. As this is more of an unboxing video, rather than a review, there is only one thing for it Dan. Get out there and use it in different weather conditions. I look forward to your findings, after doing just that… Stay safe buddy

[@theoldhobbit3640]

I get where you are coming from, but I would like to see the tent erected with the guy lines deployed, which might make a huge difference. 4 season tent, don't think so.

[@piratepete1475]

looks more like a 1 season summer tent

[@RootsLion]

use zippy part window cover at back as pocket for the net silly lol

[@marctunney3743]

Be ok for kid's in the garden in summer 😂😂😂

[@ianofthetaylors6288]

I'm a bivvy enthusiast and would consider a v2 with the vent changed and a few other mods for 2-3 season low-level sheltered use.

[@expat0149]

What is it trying to be a tent or a bivi ?

[@bobhead6243]

Hello Dan , The Window area is where I see problems , If it is windy and Raining , there seems no way of water not entering through the window opening , there is no full length cover . 🤔🤨

[@jaynecollett3656]

I do agree with you regarding 4 seasons, but please please stop repeating, you made the necessary points as you put the tent up. We know you’re honest, and a very down to earth person, but your review could have been recorded in half the time….practice makes perfect 🤞🤞🤞

[@markalanshaw4950]

Bit harsh!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I believe this design could handle rain but not wind. The structure could not support a snow load.

[@sergeantcrow]

😀

[@sahhull]

Wind and rain... That vent is going to be a problem. I think you'll be cold and wet... The wind will blow thru the vent and take the rain or rain splashes with it.

[@PHYSIZIST]

interesting design. it's more like a bigger bivvy than a tent tbh . like a bivvy and tarp combo. if it was more wind stable pole design it would be alot better

[@seankirk333]

Don't think one wind got any thing to worry about your review as you never tested the tent in its environment it was designed for n your predictions without using it, Be the One Dan, Get Out There, Be The One, Use It,. Then tell us what you think,!!

[@taradattisman9489]

We have regulations for everything. I feel like a lot of tent makers say their tent is 4 season so they can jump up the price. But most aren't 4 seasons....

[@taradattisman9489]

I do like the idea. I think it would make an awesome no rain, no wind, summer tent. No way that would be OK for 4 seasons. 😊

[@Lonewolf__00000]

Not a four season tent, but fantastic little tent.

[@ThePollaxtroy]

What tent would you suggest 1 man which can built off a motorbike.

[@markwatts9937]

48 something better than looks like it should be on a cop fishing lake😂

[@nomorebricks1542]

That's a kids summer tent

[@quebecpatriot1874]

sometimes they claim stuff that makes no sense; I got 2 tipi tents, both claim 4 season hot tents; 1 has snow skirts no chimney outlet the other has a chimney outlet but no snow skirt. Obviously I knew that when I bought them (cheap) and a chimney outlet can be added on anything but still. That window is indeed problematic. Cool 3 season tent though.

[@Fantic156]

The way I see it is that the tent isn't good for UK use except a settled, dry midsummer, if we get one! However, at least It's not a copy and they are trying something new which I like the idea of, though it probably needs a few iterations, or a year or two development, before releasing to the public. I dislike also poles that 'stick out' and are not properly fixed to the floor at both ends. Where do you cook/boil water? There doesn't see to be room for a pack and 'stuff', a view doesn't matter if you're looking into a gale, stupid vent if it can't be shut off and the netting is on the outside, just wrong. Another however, I still use tunnel tents mostly and reckon for space, value and ease of use decent tunnels can't be bettered, though Hilleberg and Kuiu (amongst others) seem to make damn fine four season not tunnel tents ... ;) I don't think this is a tent so much as a large bivvy ... More work, extend the poles might help .. ;)

[@johnbrown1135]

Bit of jiggery pokery with a one wind tarp.. Solid.. 5 second look.. Is it a prototype.... Mesh inner/bike tent..with adapted tarp.... Looks like you need to get on the job😅

[@andrewjohnalbrighton6140]

Cracking video, Dan , useless tent . I can't see it as a 4 seasons tent as the poles at the top don't continue fully to the ground . May sell as a summer tent , as you say Regards, Big Andy.

[@markwatts9937]

Old man putting it on a carp fishing lake😂
