Clostnature Lightweight 2P review
Best for: Two people who want a light, small-packing tent for fair-weather trips
A light two-door dome that packs small and suits two sleepers on pads, but the 59 in wide floor is too narrow for a 60 in queen airbed.
A freestanding double-wall dome on two aluminum poles, with a D-shaped door and a vestibule on each side, so neither sleeper climbs over the other. The fly, floor and bathtub are 210T polyester with a PU 5000 coating and factory-sealed seams. The floor is 86.6 x 59 in with about 45 in of height, and the tent packs to 16.5 x 5.9 x 5.9 in.
Good
- Two doors and two vestibules: each sleeper gets their own exit and gear space
- Aluminum poles, 5.4 lb listed weight, packs to 16.5 x 5.9 x 5.9 in
- PU 5000 coated fly and bathtub floor with factory-sealed seams
Watch for
- 59 in wide floor is narrower than a 60 in queen airbed
- About 45 in of height: you sit up to change, you don't stand

Best for: Two people who want a light tent with a real fly rating
A 4.4 lb double-wall tent with aluminum poles, two doors and two vestibules, and a 3000 mm fly; the floor is narrow at 55 in for two.
Two aluminum poles make a freestanding frame that Night Cat says one person pitches in about 3 minutes. Mesh inner walls and two ceiling vents cut condensation, and a full-coverage fly rated 3000 mm with taped seams goes over the top. The interior is 6.8 x 4.6 ft with 43 in of height, and two D-shaped doors each open onto a vestibule. Guylines come included, and it weighs 4.4 lb.
Good
- Aluminum poles, double-wall build and a 3000 mm full-coverage fly
- Two doors, each with its own vestibule
- 4.4 lb, light enough to carry as well as car camp
Watch for
- 55 in floor width is snug for two adults
- 43 in of height: sitting room only
