Night Cat 2P review
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

Best for: Two campers who want two doors in a light, packable tent
A two-door, two-vestibule freestanding tent at 5.3 lb with footprint; the 53 in wide floor won't take a queen airbed, and 41 in is sit-up height.
This is the 210T polyester Mongar 2, not the 20D nylon version. A Y-frame of 7001 aluminum poles holds a B3 mesh inner, under a 210T polyester fly and above a 210T floor, both rated 3000 mm. The 82.7 x 53.2 in floor has a door and vestibule on each side. The whole set, footprint included, weighs 5.3 lb and packs to 19.7 x 5.9 in.
Good
- Two doors and two vestibules, so neither sleeper climbs over the other
- Footprint included; 5.3 lb for the whole set
- Freestanding Y-frame on 7001 aluminum poles
Watch for
- 53.2 in wide and 41.3 in tall: fits two pads, not a queen airbed
- Mesh inner and a 3-season rating: Naturehike says it is not for snow
