Oh boy, #Naturehike's product lineup is confusing. Only the Cloud Up tent has the Cloud Up 20D, Cloud Up 210T, Cloud Up Base, Cloud Up Pro and Cloud Up UL. (All labelled as "ultralight" so that the Cloud Up UL is double ultralight:) Plus dozens of color variants.

There are inconsistencies, errors, omissions in dimensions and weight on their own website, and it's nearly impossible to know which version third party shops sell, because the names/variants never 100% match.

#tents #Bikepacking

I am down the rabbit hole of researching tents, and stumbled upon this hilarious piece in Naturehike's material for their #Bikepacking tent.

Yep, that's a proper 90's MTB advertising a tent in 2026 :)

For the last year I used a pertex inner for my sleeping liner. Problem is that it is still from the 90s and are now developing holes, but at least it is lightweight at 176g and perfect for 3-season and shoulder-season hikes.

I have now replaced it with the lightest one (128g) I could find at a reasonable price (~€20). This is the Flame from Naturehike, although I have also see it called the Fireworks.

It finds me (1.79m) well enough that I could sit in it outside of a tent and pull the hood over my head.

It folds up very small too. I won't use the stuff sack on hikes though. It will just get stuffed in with my quilt into a Sea to Summit compression bag.
