The Best Ultralight 2 Person Tent For Your Money - A Detailed Look at the Lanshan 2 pro

[@HazeOutdoors]

What lightweight tent are you using at the moment and do you recommend it?

[@Voodoo_Ray]

Still using a Luxe Minipeak 2. Cracking little thing.

[@zerotraceadventure]

I’ve got the msr access 3 massive interior very impressed with it at the moment

[@ktmadison588]

One Tigris smokey hut, its super light and there's plenty of room. And you can Chuck in your winnerwell stove if it gets nipples.

[@pete7872]

I have the Non Pro Lanshan 2, Love it, a few grams heavier than the pro but prefer the double wall.

[@lokisdad8626]

Marmot Crane Creek 2 person. Entry either side, small vestibule, quick easy set up and lightweight. Great three season tent for the money.

[@chrisfifield-smith]

The only tent I've pitched in lockdown was when the trouble and strife came out the shower and her towel fell off. It went up surprisingly quickly! I told the missus it was made for two people, but she thought it looked a bit small. No problem though, I went solo and was more than satisfied. Keep making the videos Hazy, it's nice just to see you. Me and some friends who haven't done anything for ages are planning a little camping trip when lockdown ends, all inspired by you. Thanks for everything dude!

I love both tents, I have both tents. For the money they are unbeatable value. I used my Lanshan 1 when I walked the C2C but the Lanshan 2 is for me and my lovely dog when we go off a wandering:)

i bought the lanshan 2 last year, and have been out in it twice one was on a 500 mtr hill in strong winds, and withstood what it was given,45mph id guess, its a awesome tent in my eyes. i bought a four season inner for it, again from ali express, it has less mesh about halfway down and has no seeum mesh to about half way up, £55 its even lighter than the three season inner, but havent tried it out proper yet, awesome videos keep them coming mate,

[@Daydreameruk]

Absolutely love the plan for C2C pay it forward igloo, now that’s spesh.

[@steveb1972]

Great you mentioned the lack of seam taping. The Lanshan 1 is notorious for letting water in, mainly at the anchor points in the centre of the end panels.

[@vonneymcderr7569]

I used the Lanshan 2 for my 2019 Appalachian Trail thru-hike of 2200 miles, it was excellent and handled all weather from torrential rain, very high winds and snow (although it wasn’t a heavy snow fall). My only problem on a few occasions (considering I was camping in wooded areas) was that it has a large footprint so I always needed a fairly large area to set it up. That said, I would really recommend it as it was weatherproof, rarely suffered from condensation and was very very roomy.

[@sergeykaprantsev5192]

was the setup any more difficult ot unever ground?

[@bernardt1897]

Thank you so much for making the time to make this comparison video! Greatly appreciated. Loved the ending for those during lockdown who got lost and were bored 🤣

I really like my Lanshan. Great tent that ticks all the boxes for me. I'm not a summit dwelling wild camper and like to tuck myself into the glens and nooks and cranny's . Great video. Many thanks.

[@timwoodward4217]

Glad you reviewed this tent Mr Haze thank you Bud keep at it

[@Bluemerlehikes]

Brought the lanshan 2 Pro for the coast to coast next year can't wait love the tent

[@iamapopsicle9457]

Lanshan 1 Pro I fit well at 6 foot. I also have the 2 "standard" for more relaxed hiking. The 1 Pro is absolutely amazing for all day hiking where as you'd said, you are just sleeping at the end of the day. Lay down, some phone time, listen to music, kindle etc. is about all can do. But the weight saving and faster setup are worth it I think. The 2 is really great if just doing something like an overnight a shortish distance and wanting to spend time in the tent or just to feel more relaxed, if you're expecting rain and to be stuck inside etc.

[@NMCD0892]

Finally bought a Lanshan 2 Pro today off a fella here in the UK and being impatient don't want to wait till next week, never mind waiting on one from Aliexpress, can't wait to get out in it and hopefully use it to walk WHW for my first long distance trail. 😁

[@kevb948]

The 60s and 70s deigns all coming back, that shape of tent was the first one I ever camped in with my dad, 50 years ago!, just shows fashion (not the technology) is a circular thing Paul

[@davidpinder4587]

Great review. For me it's a no brainer. At just 100g extra weight, the Lanshan 2 Pro is the better all round option. Love the colour also.

[@adamyates6004]

‘Rams head clip’. If you put the loops over both horns (as it were!) it secures them from coming off - in the wind for instance. Great for pegging lines on tarps. Been using them on Exped kit for years.

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

Loves my Lanshan 2 i have it in two colors including the Khaki color ... its my go to tent. I also have the Lanshan 1 and top tip , you can improve the living space inside by using your other pole or some sticks to pull out the side walls ... its hard to describe here but theres a couple of you tube tutorials on this (i did one as well ... sorry for the mooch) it really helps with keeping the inner off your face which can be so annoying. I will be interested in seeing your experience with the Pro regarding condensation. Theres been a couple of reported incidents of condensation dropping off the tent in a cold hammering rain... but this is the case with the Z packs tents as well... so dont forget to take the ol 'Shamwow' with you! sorry you folks back over the pond are in such a hard lockdown... hopefully things will get back to normal soon. looking forward to your future adventures with the lanshan in tow... atb Dave Mc

Great review - I have the Lanshan 1 Pro and I think you'd find it much different than the 1. Very roomy single wall and a touch over 700g.

[@christopherhaak9824]

I love my 1 pro. It has a surprising amount of room in it and even though some folks complain about ventilation, by changing pitch heights and vestibule opening, you can actually get a lot of ventilation in it.

[@Anthony-zw3rg]

I swear by my msr hubba hubba 2 man👍 best lightweight hiking tent ive used 😊

[@TheJimabix]

Lansham 1 PRO is a nice comprimise. Bigger than the Lansham 1 without being the same size as the 2. There's a nice trick you can do with the guy lines where you pitch it out over a branch or your second walking pole and it will give you more height over the head or feet.

[@weka6533]

Id love to know what differences you notice between the pro and non pro versions? The chinglish on AliExpress makes it really hard for me to tell the difference

@@weka6533 the pro is bigger inside because it does not have an inner tent. The pro is a single skin. Hope that helps there are you tube vids comparing both if you look around.

This is a great review when considering what tent to buy.. well done Hazy.. very helpful mate.👍

[@newforestgump8926]

Ahhhhh Mr Haze, I had the 2 pro for Crimbo and spent 2 nights in it. Love the ease of set up and the luxurious space. I thought it would be love at first sight but....the condensation drove me mad 😠. It is sooooo bad, even with both doors wide open. It is definitely a summer only tent as it has no protection from the wind. It’s as close to tarp camping as you will get!! I’ve just ordered the 2 with 4 season inner and have more confidence that this will be the perfect abode. Looking forward to seeing some vids with you doing an overnighter to see what you think of the waterfall effect in the morning. Keep em coming lad.

[@rp8164]

How did you find the Lanshan 2 in comparison with the pro? And did you seam seal the pro before using it in the rain? I can't decide between the two which one to buy, so any feedback is much appreciated 😁👍

[@newforestgump8926]

@@rp8164 go for the regular Lanshan 2. In my opinion, it is a far better experience. I cannot be arsed with the breeze constantly shooting through the Pro & the mesh for releasing condensation is pretty useless. Hope that helps buddy.

I nearly pressed the button on the lanshan but very nervous about how it would perform in bad weather....certainly not in the mountains in winter.

[@sugarloafoutdoors7601]

Hi Hazy, one mod I made to my Lanshan 2 Pro, was to add a bungee from the guy point in the middle to the middle of the netting to lift it up so condensation runs through the netting instead of down it into the tent. Zpacks Duplex has a similar thing as standard.

'Weak bladders are no longer a problem with the Lanshan 2 Pro' Saga Magazine As for the 1. I bought the 1 last year but only managed to use it once but I can confirm its very small inside and I'm the same height as you. It does pack down small and could do a job as a backpacker but I'm sorry I didn't get the 2 now.

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

That’s a nice new tent you got there! Certainly can see the improvement points.. I’m sure you will be more comfortable in the bigger one, especially when you’re having a rainy day and need the real estate.. look forward to seeing the adventures you get up to with it Hon!! ATB ~Ruth

[@JTT2505]

My main worry about any single skin tent would be dampness. If you have to pack away a damp tent in the morning you're erecting a damp tent in the evening. With double skin tents you can separate the inner and keep it dry. Although I've no personal experience of single skins.

[@rjt1201]

Also, glad I'm not the only one who had issues with the toggle on the lanshan 1 😂 honestly the arguments I had with it pre-coffee in the mornings!

[@jamie152]

eyup hazey, i ventured on the c2c a few months after you did with my two collies. we used the old lanshan 2 and tested it in a weeks worth of downpours ( you used up all our sun by the looks). had no issues what so ever, its takes a bit of fannying around with on hilltops as you need that tension. been using it for a few years and a cracking tent. this year on my trips i fancied a freestanding tent, so bought the naturehike vik2, so looking forward to trying that out when we are allowed out to play. right on jamie

[@rogerhowis]

Hi Hazy really informative video. Will be doing first wild camp thanks to you this spring can't wait !!

[@robking4437]

back in the 80's my wife and I backpacked through Europe for a year ..we carried our tent (ultimate backpacker2) 2kg and we could put the fly up in the rain /snow and then put up the inner from inside ..and there was loads of space for two (framed) backpacks and we could cook inside easily...do the modern ones have the same abilities???

[@davidrodgers1952]

I've got the Lanshan 1 Plus. A bit bigger than the original, I believe the inner has the same dimensions as the 1 Pro. I've only used it for a few nights but been very impressed with it

[@redwestonbushcraft5807]

Thanks for this. I'm researching for a mightweight hike. Great perspective

[@iamapopsicle9457]

I have Naturehike Mongar 2 planning a 5 day hike and at 2kg the Mongar while very comfortable had to go. Have bought Lanshan 1 Pro have tested in garden and I think if you had the Pro would find the head room issue is a bit better due to the single lining walls. Definitely agree there is a comfort in a larger sized tent and weight isn't too much more from the 1 Pro to 2 Pro but if you take the that philosophy soon you'll be justifying everything to yourself. Every 100g more is more fatigue on your muscles more on day three on the trail you'll be wishing you hadn't brought (or maybe glad you did for that comfort!).

Would say that Lanshan 1 might be a choice if smaller footprint is needed for tight spaces.

[@johnpayne516]

i have the lanshan 2 pro also. Been out in it a few times and tbh I'm not sold on the single skin version of this. I mostly use a Trailstar when i'm on my own but when the mrs is with (handful of times) we have taken the lanshan pro. In my experience we are always much to close to the tarp and when it rains we are always rubbing against it and it just makes for not a great experience. If it were a bigger tent and single skin it would be fine as you could position yourselves further away from the tarp. I think if you were 5'8 or so you would be ok but if you are hovering around 6ft like me and the mrs i'd give it a miss

[@barryconway]

"speaking of seems..." I see what you did there. Mate, you could be on the radio.

I have lanshan 2 pro for year and I've not used yet. My concern is might have bad condensation and if i took to festival someone might trip over the guid ropes. The whole tent held up by the guid ropes.

Having been to many music festivals I advise taking a cheap tent that you won't be upset about if it gets filthy and/or damaged.
