You should put a cheap rain gauge nearby when doing these tests. Give a clear indication of just how much rain fell during the testing. Just a thought. Love the channel. Only Utube I actually trust the reviews of products. M.

[@shida420]

This would be really cool to se and would help comparisons

[@somerandomguy4149]

True never thought of that it would definitely help.

[@chrissmith6650]

Cool idea 🙂. Another way to visualise the amount of rain that fell

[@Jimmyjam241]

Great idea.

[@MrYoliss]

The rain gauge is steady rain all night and day

[@trontee9651]

I can vouch for this tent having owned mine for a few months now and have used it for a few weekend camping trips. I have had it in rain, thunderstorms and hot sun with humidity. The thing is amazing and I love the awning - which I have left open for rain and haven't had much issue - wind dependent. One thing I will say, and I am by no means a tent expert, but if you adjust the anchor points of those side guy lines on the arcs to be more lateral and pull the arcs outwards, you can get rid of the sag. Just a suggestion for anyone wondering if there is a fix as this worked well for me in the rain.

[@Im_With_Stupid]

The way it should be done is to run all the guy points on their own lines so you can run those top lines out fairly straight and pull the sag out when it gets wet, so you're on the right track doing it the way you did. Nylon sags and has to be readjusted. That's just the nature of the material. One Tigris knows it, but they short you four lines and four stakes to cut costs and shave weight off the spec sheet. I'm sure it's a great tent, but way too many of these companies do sneaky crap like this. Then you get their tent home and realize you really need four more guy lines and stakes to make it work right and of course it didn't come with a groundsheet, so you have to buy that, too, and suddenly your actual pack weight is nothing like what the manufacturer claims.

[@captaincarl1603]

On all nylon tents I extend the guy lines with about 2 feet of flex-cord (bungee) at the outer end. That way the tent tightens itself continuously.

[@Im_With_Stupid]

@@captaincarl1603 Have you tried that on a tunnel tent? Because the reason nylon sags is because it absorbs water and expands like a sponge. That's a lot of unsupported weight and it seems like it'd just stretch the cord before the cord pulled out the sag.

[@captaincarl1603]

@@Im_With_Stupid Yes I have. I peg out the flex-cord from the top of the arched poles with maximum tension from the beginning. Then when the fabric start to sag, the flex-cord pulls the poles outwards and then the fabric tightens.

it is fun to think that people with OneTigris watching this video and finally hear Luke say "good news my friends!" and everyone goes "phew"

[@marcfavell]

Oh man this would be the best deal ever on the 10 if just they put some lines like he said cuz that's a hell of a tent for the money 😂

[@markmayhew7893]

I didn't think it would leak, but the sagging is more than I would tolerate. Nice work as always, Luke. S&H!

[@giftedfox4748]

With the price and the tent being made for winter in mind, I would say this is really worth it. However, with the sag on just rain alone, makes me wonder how the sagging when snow fall sets in might add unneeded stress to the tent itself. If this tent can pass the winter test then I would get it for cold weather use.

[@wenetresults]

Exactly - real 4-season tents can endure cold temps and the weight of a snowfall. The amount of sag just in the rain is proof that it won't hold up to heavy wet snow!

[@adsinit]

I watched your review and moved my guidelines to each end, no sagging throughout my 5 day trip in North Wales UK with heavy rain every night !

[@nowenterpsie]

Exactly this. Good to know.

[@marcfavell]

Well you just sold the 10 for me then because I thought the same thing after reading the comment to pull them out front pretty much and honestly before I pull the trigger I'm going to find the directions online I bet that's how they tell you to hook it up

[@themoog3889]

Bought one for motorcyle camping in the UK , used 4 extra guy lines tied to the top loops front and back and the sagging was minimal in some much heavier prolonged rain , not that light drizzle you've got ! 😂 I bought the tent mostly for the big side flap it works a treat with 2 poles !

[@ScumbagKazuela]

Also bought one for motorcycle camping, used it on a hot environment and perfomed excelent, the mesh on each door kept the tent cool enough on the day. Looking forward to testing it on the rain will try your method

[@themoog3889]

@ScumbagKazuela I didn't go real tight on those extra guy lines & I put the 4 corner ones slightly forward too ! I bought the One Tigris aluminium poles in 3 parts for the big flap ideal as a sun shelter or for cooking under if its caning it down !

[@ScumbagKazuela]

@@themoog3889 how does the big flap fares on the rain? Planning to buy the tent poles for it

[@themoog3889]

@ScumbagKazuela Not too bad tbh , I pulled the poles back a bit to create a slight slope , obviously if it's really windy it gets a bit flappy ......wish they did a proper shaped groundsheet for it !

[@chrissmith6650]

The sagging would be a constant nag. It can be really wet in the UK. Can't imagine the sag under snow loading either. I'll leave this alone. Good test though, just not for me 🙂

[@trollmcclure1884]

true. Snow will be a problem for any tent tho. Even a sharp teepee with a stove will collect snow at the bottom. Maybe some expedition dome will not care and will just become a dugout cave overnight. I'd like to see one of these tested

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

Another...no foolin' around, no holds bared, down-n-dirty, hardcore test. Great review. Thanks, Luke! 👍

[@MrLammofgod]

I can vouch for the sag, I bought one almost as soon as OneTigris dropped it... Maybe not the best move but it looked super cool! I've officially done a 3 day/night near constant rain test on my last trip. The tent itself stayed dry you have have to make sure the cover isn't resting on the tent itself once it gets wet. The sag was a pretty real issue initially then I rigged up guidelines right where you mentioned it needed some and it worked great, by the end of the weekend I had the hang of adjusting it and it kept my stuff dry all weekend 👍 pretty hot inside in the heat for obvious reasons... but my next big test is hopefully going to be snow once we have some again. Also the factory waterproofing spray could use aother coat on the consumer end

[@keithfillinger3182]

I was looking at the tent. It looks like they have two guyout points on the tent combined into one connection. I ordered one of these tents. It has not arrived yet. I want to look at that connection more closely when I receive my tent. I might just ignore that point, and just tie a guy line to the top tie out points. I think that would provide more tension to the top of the tent, but I am not positive it would fix the sag issue.

[@jackvoss5841]

There are a lot of good tents on the market. No reason to accept this one. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@richschwartz8004]

Would a pair of tarp clips with tie outs work with the tent pole sleeves to stretch it out enough to keep water from collecting? If so that could be a possible cheap fix. I am aware that these videos only measure the unaltered gear. Thank you for all your honesty and hard work to share your passion with us. God bless and stay safe.

[@joeb4274]

Personally, if I pay that much for a tent, I dont want to have to modify it when I set it up. Clips would be a good fix if I didnt know about this issue at the time of purchase I think. IMHO

[@MrMischief604]

The first trip out with mine turned into three days of near continuous light to moderate rain. No leaks, but I had that same sagging and pooling issue and came to the same conclusion; although I thought some of it may have been an issue with how I set it up. Due to rocks and thick shrub locations I was unable to get the guylines at as much of angle as I would have preferred and were more inline with the direction of the poles than Luke has them here. In subsequent trips it has been more dry but I have also taken to using the longest length on the guyline that I can and I also set them at a far steeper angle outward from the poles, getting closer to perpendicular to the poles. This helps me pull the tent tighter, and I have more room for tightening it later if the fabric sags. In the heat this tent can get hot as it is not well ventilated, but for myself so far I have been fine with opening the doors and adjusting the awning to block rain but still move air. Last weekend I had the tent out in some strong gusty winds at a formal campground. Other tents were ripped but the Cometa held up without issue. Quality is good, size is huge although it can only really hold two people at most, and in the formal campground it actually became a bit of a talking point due to the unique shape and some mentioning they had not seen a black tent before.

[@robburnham4660]

I bought one of the tents because of your first review. I have just over 2 weeks of camping in it. Ive stayed totally dry & that was with a 2-3 " rain for a few days. I pulled the guidelines more to the ends & got rid of most of the sag. I love the tent & have yet to use the door on the end. Oh at summer camp mt tent was in the open & it was sunny most of the week. My tent was cooler than all the others around me that was in the shade.

[@briargoatkilla]

Always better to slightly loosen guy lines in prolonged wet weather. If you keep tightening them the seam sealing will eventually fail. Of course, you have to tighten in high winds or snow. A little pooling doesn't matter if the pool size is self-limiting, and the tent isn't leaking. Gives you a chance to get some free water.

[@MOcamping1212]

You do know you shouldn't drink water off a tarp right? Treated with chemicals.

[@briargoatkilla]

@@MOcamping1212 nope. perfectly safe.

[@jimnorris4990]

another idea to cure the fabric stretching would be for the manufacturer to have a stretcher bar inserted at the top between the two hoop poles either internally or externally. Even with adding stakeout points at the top of the hoops it is possible to have some degree of stretching from the guidelines which would also need adjusting.

[@goodredman]

Same first thing I was thinking of. also, in some areas difficult to get a steak in the ground to place guy outlines. Bar at top would be an idea for sure.

[@danielcarter305]

Luke this episode reminds me back about 25 years ago. I had gone camping with my friends. We arrived friday night set up camp no problem. We awoke Saturday morning to a storm rolling in, there was no forecast for rain, but we were getting it like it or not. At the time I had a cheep non-namebrand three season tent. I think i paid $75 for it. Well, anyway it started to rain and rain eventually everything in my tent was getting wet, and we were starting to get standing puddles I put the sleeping bags in the car before they got soaked and my buddy and I retreated to our friends tent trailer. After breakfast and as noon was approaching we found out that the rain was only going to get worse. We cut the trip short packed up and went home. The first thing I did after cleaning everything up and putting it away, was Call up Cabelas and ordered their 8 man geodesic Alaskan Guide doom tent with deluxe Alaskan vestibule. I had my eye on this tent for a long time. The vestibule could sleep 4 or 5 people itself. As a matter of fact, the vestibule looks just like the Cometa. With the vestibule (which was sold separately) the whole thing coat me $700. Next camping trip that it raind the tent practically paid for itself. The rain started late Saturday night, and it poured and poured. I had every one brake down their tents and packed it in the vestibule and everyone slept in my tent. When we got up the next morning there was a pool on the top of my tent where the three tent polls met. I easily dumped that off the top of the tent. Everything inside both the tent and vestibule was dry. The rest of the forest was soaked but where my tent stood was still dry as a bone!

[@Mtlk77]

Testing this tent tonight for water proof. Hope it passes, no loose strings. Looks awesome!

[@adsinit]

Been waiting for this ! I purchased this off your previous review setting it up, I'm in the UK and new to motorcycle camping, I came across your video setting it up, looked ideal for my needs so I bought it, so I just going to sit back, relax and watch. PLEASE don't leak as I've not spent a night in it yet, 2 more weeks then I'm away to spend some alone time.

[@Im_With_Stupid]

Run eight guy lines instead of four, or six lines with the top points on a single line each, with the top lines parallel to the tent and the sag will probably pull right out. Only supplying four lines is just the maker scrounging for every nickel they can save on production costs, while knowing damn well that's not going to be enough in real world use.

[@whatsnottohike]

I knew it wouldn't leak but that sagging would be an issue for me, especially through the night having to adjust it. If they redesign it so some guy out points can be added to the essential areas, then its a great tent. I wonder, do they get in touch with you after your reviews to give you any updates or plans for redesign based on your reviews? Thanks for the test.

[@ScumbagKazuela]

It only sags on rain, used it on my last mototrip with lots of humidity and didn't even use the guy lines it didn't sag at all on the other day

[@hammer9390]

I agree. OneTigris needs to upgrade the design and eliminate the sag problem. Not sure why this was not fixed before they put it on the market.

[@EverythingIsMagick360]

We recently got back from a 4 day camp at the foot of the South Downs (UK). Our 9 year old Hoolie 3 etc went through nearly 24hours of various degrees of rain and strong winds...came out a trooper! One thing about the Hoolie is it has the guylines on the top, front and back and two choices of eyelet if you need more tension on the flysheet. I have to say though, only once have I needed to do this. I was amazed at the amount of sag the tigres had and surprised it didn't leak. Excellent review! 👍

With that much sagging, we REALLY needed an internal view after the first several hours, to see it's impact on movement and overall comfort for sitting in the lowered useable internal area. Looks are one thing, but if it just continues to sag and encroach on your space, that gets really clostrophobic...QUICK ! And having to go out in the rain to readjust the guy lines that ARE availble, just to get the space back inside ? That's a fairly hard pass for me to spend $$ on a tent ! Another great video as usual though !

[@kg4tri]

From the looks of it you have 8 tie out points . If you got 4 more tie outs. Or reverse the tie outs so they come down from closer to the top

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

I like it glad it didn't leak how ever that sag would be a problem not only for the water but if this tent is to be used in 4 seasons what will snow do to the top of that tent with out some sort of guy line keeping it taunt. All one tigris would have to do is separate the tent pole flap in the center and add a guy line to the tent pole.

[@breygon1]

I like the design concept and I like that you can adapt it to be a four season tent. But that sag, not so much. As others have noted that if it sagged thet much in the rain what would it be like with even a moderate snow/ice event? I will keep an eye on this product for now. Hopefully, OneTigris will come out with an updated version that either takes Luke's suggestion or the the suggestion of a crossbar between the two ribs. As always, great job, Luke! 👍

[@MrLangDog]

I can visualize a 2-prong plastic hook for the back side of the tent that could attach to the top of the arch to take the sag out. Good test!!

[@nicholasromano1422]

Hey Luke! Great job as always! You should zip two Tentsformers together and see how they fare in a test night. I'd imagine it'd do pretty well as long as you did something with the arm flaps.

At the beginning of this video there are no big rocks on top of any guy lines/stakes, something I'd want knowing the ground is goind to be wet & strong gusty winds.

[@jillmondt5398]

The sagging is a fix if you want to get creative. Supposing on how creative one wishes to be, it can be a simple fix to a bit more complicated. That depends on the number of parts: I just tend to think that too simple is less reliable. Any way a simple but not too simple fix: Just order another pole for the tent and make some mods for use of it on the inside. Make some height adjusting sleeves or feet with rubber end guards to protect the tent floor. Place a soft silicone wrap around the center to keep the pull from sliding at the top. You can, if it pleases you, create a bit more of a complicated interior frame support system. It is up to your imagination and resources. The way I am looking at this tent is if it can make it through the rest of Luke’s tests I will be happy to put this one on the contender list. Fingers crossed.

[@markbirkett3505]

Love the channel, you put out some very useful content. Ref. your recent video about Fjallraven, I have a Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1. It’s quite an expensive tent, so I was disappointed when I discovered that it leaked. I’ve since heard of several other people with the same problem. I would be interested to see you put one through your waterproof test. I would send you mine to test, but I needed to use it so had to seam seal it.. plus I’m in the UK. Keep up the great work!

I'm wondering if a ridge line above the center of the tent and have the highest guide line connections tied to it would help with that sag. Or if tent clips on the top of the pole bends would give extra tie points to help stretch out those weak areas. Just a couple thoughts.

Needs a rigid pole at the top to counter the sag.

Thats a awesome test and i hope they watch your review you pointed out a flaw that needs to be addressed .....i really want this but now i see i will have to keep going out in the rain to adjust im hesitant......i hope they fix this , i may still buy it but just ad some conection points myself .....its checks every box on my list and i cant find any others i want ,,,,dam .......

[@Im_With_Stupid]

Hey man. It's sagging so bad because it's guyed out wrong, not because it needs more guy points. The tent comes with four lines so One Tigris can save a few nickels and short the weight for marketing purposes, but it's not enough. Put the top points on their own lines and run them more in parallel to the tent. The sag will pull right out and you'll only have to do it once.

Hi great review, at lease it with stand the rain, thanks for sharing stay safe

[@MiukuMac]

Any chance you could take a look at Sierra's Meteor 3000 at some point? Bought it myself and had no issues so far but was wondering what would be the perspective of it from someone who literally lives in the forest? :-)

[@davereboot70now74]

You mentioned it’s a 4th season tent. My question is would you recommend this tent in a heavy snow fall since the stretching of material is so bad?

[@pboone1231]

what do you think about maybe tarp clips to add your own guylines to the top?

[@zackerylampshire963]

Hey Luke just curious why don't you sleep in them for the test anymore? Did you get tired of getting wet? Love the channel you've inspired me to get out and go on my own adventures. Strength and honor!

[@Dudley-x2c]

Great test mate. 👍

[@wrangler10]

This tent needs top guide line point to attach a rope ASAP .That is essential because the tend should had one more pole at the center to support the sag but it can't have because the awning design.

[@lindasnowden7862]

Another support in the middle to stop the sag is my suggestion.

[@aaronmullinz]

Hey Luke, I would love if you did a review and testing of the Durston X-Mid 2.

[@playAgainMe]

I bought a used tent that looks the same as this one and is great for rain. Pops up fly includedand all in about 8 mins.

[@sticktoyourdrums8177]

It seems like if they added a third pole in the middle, it would eliminate the sag. Idk. Just looks like a lot of fabric that’s not supported. I’m sure I could come up with something and make it an awesome tent. Like you’ve said before though, shouldn’t have to modify a tent to perform. That said. It is a cheap tent so, might be worth it. It’s crazy. Most of their other tents have almost excessive amounts of tie off points.

[@krmoto5158]

Could you please do a review and a water test? On a Napier sportz truck bed tent... I just recently bought one for my toyota tacoma. I do believe they rate it for a 3+ season tent. It had good reviews, but nobody did a real true test on it. Like you do your tents I'm going to be trying it out for the first time on Labor Day, Up on Mount Hood in Oregon.i gess will see how it works fingers crossed. and I love your videos. And I always turn to you as far as my camping gear. And thank you for all the great videos that you do. And keep it up, love your channel. Your friend KR MOTO

[@Sam-Icy]

Could you please test out Durston's "Solid" Tents? I really wonder how well they hold up in summer and how their fabric holds up to heavy rain? They seem like a company that's trending lately.

[@danflaherty5218]

Do you ever camp when it doesn't rain...still I like the testing

[@royshidler3351]

As u get older do find it harder getting in & out small 1 & 2 person tents

[@pickstudio4715]

Put plastic eye clips on ridge top on both sides and you can tie a line to stop puddleing

[@johnwrinkle3443]

I was just waiting for it to fall in

[@jameshall5784]

I’m wondering if you pulled the guide lines towards the front more if it would take that sag out as well as in the back.

[@BrokenCurtain]

I know you want suggestions for tents to review, but have you considered getting a Wacaco Nanopresso (plus the Barista Kit) and testing that one? You seem to enjoy your morning coffee and that little coffee maker will suprise you. It just needs some ground coffee (preferably 100% Arabica, for espresso) and hot water. Also, what's your opinion on the Olantern Classic Mini?

[@remon8951]

Maybe you can let us see how to make it better. We bought the tent for a trip from the Netherlands to kapp nord Norway

[@samhill3496]

Be interesting to start putting a rain guage out in the test area.

[@colemankamryn]

I just ordered the cosmitto 2.0.

[@elaine8477]

Seems like you could put a grabber on the tent carefully and attach a tensioner guy line. Or put a balloon in the between the fly and tent.

[@SpiritDK]

i really like this one, especially the side opening, sadly it's almost impossible to get here in Europe and the few times I've seen it the seller wants Hildeberg prices for it

[@laurataylor203]

I would buy it

[@TheFlea1987]

Was really looking forward to this tent getting its rain test. The sagging would annoy the crap out of me and I probably would stop using it to be honest.

[@floatingfreedom6091]

Does it ever NOT rain where you live? Thanks fork your great informative vids :)
