Good light tent for bike/hike on a budget
Used twice now for overnight bicycle touring, along with the Vango adventure tarp (as pictured). Filled 1 ortlieb pannier with this + tarp + SIM + sleepingbag + dogs bag. Strapped the poles to my crossbar with some velcro strips i had in an ikea cable management box of bits. If you were to use the tent bag it will also hold the tarp and fit on your rack or handlebars fairly easy. I have a riser bar but I suspect it would also fit between drop handlebars, its about 1 1/2 feet long by about 8" wide with tarp in. Bag zips longways so is easy to repack. Setting up and taking down I found to be fairly easy from the first go.
Small size inside heats up quick when you're in. I'm about 5'8 and wouldn't really like to be any more than another 3-4" at most or I'd be feeling a bit cramped. There's also no way you'd want a raised camp bed in here, feet out first in the morning and can just about sit up in the entrance. The porch held my trainers overnight and that's about all you'll get between the inner and outer. Inside there's a couple of side pockets which held a fair bit, I had kindle, phone, wallet and a lucozade all in 1 so plenty of room for a couple books or tablet/small laptop etc. On width I had space for my sleeping gear plus about half again which was plenty for the dog and his sleeping bag.
If you wanted to bring gear in with you there would be space for a decently long backpack but you'd be starting to get a bit claustrophobic, I was able to leave my panniers outside on the bike so you may think about a waterproof cover for a backpack.
First weekend was decent weather, low about 9C overnight and lay with the door open for a bit as was very toasty. 2nd weekend got a low of about 6C with wind and rain and was still very comfortable inside even though my cheap light bag is rated to 10 comfort. Was glad of the tarp addition to keep the immediate door area a bit dry and also for some privacy crawling in and out and giving you that extra porch area. If you were to go wild camping it's a good low profile and you'd probably do without the tarp when hiking, though I have to say the weight between the 2 is great and your entire camp will fit into 1 pannier easily on the bike.
All in all I'd have to say that at the price it's an excellent piece of kit for backpacking or biking, it holds up well enough and is easy to pitch on your own. It does go up inner first so maybe not great to try and pitch while in a storm even though it does go up pretty fast but superb to get away by yourself for during the better weather anyways. Can't really find any fault with it for the price and another £35 for the tarp was worth it imo.
