Dude I'm just getting into backpacking and have watched a TON of videos of what to buy and all my options and it seems like all the bigger channels review these $500+ tents and equipment. This is the most honest and reasonable review I have seen. Thanks for a sime and honest review with no BS and not pushing for subscribers. I really appreciate it!

@ckossel 3 роки тому

Glad to help!!! It’s a really good tent for the price. Still use it all the time even when I own a $400 tent. Glad this was helpful! Happy adventuring and thanks for the feedback 👍🏼

A very well done review! I have this tent and I really like it as well. I researched many tents before going with the Zion, and have no regrets. Thank you for putting together a great review of what I also feel, is a tent well-worth the money. Keep it up! (btw, Amazon is now selling these for just under $100)

I have this tent . Use it for early season elk hunts and it is awesome. You can't beat this tent for the money.

Thanks for the review. Being able to set up the tent from underneath the fly is a great feature in inclement weather. My next tent will be one from these guys.

No doubt a great buy. Just used it this weekend in pine country of AZ without the rainfly. Could see the Milky Way right through the top of the tent 🏕

@danielwogawa1675 4 роки тому

Awesome review, was considering buying it, now I'm sure to get myself the Zion 2

@ckossel 4 роки тому

It’s a great tent for the value. It will not disappoint on your expectations and wallet. Usually with tents, most features are similar across the board. Usually you are paying by ounces. Heavier they are the cheaper, but when you can find a good mixed bag - it’s good value. Good luck! 👍🏼

@richjames4094 3 роки тому

Im a fan on this tent. Easy set up, and really, the quality you get for the price of the tent, is great. I think they have gone up on the price slightly in the last year or so, but it is still at a good price price for what you get.

@ckossel 3 роки тому

Rich James I bought a 3 person Big Agnes Ultra Light tent and I still find myself taking this tent out because how easy it is for setup.

Good job I just got this tent heading to Adirondacks to try it out nice video btw I was just in your region it’s beautiful

@ckossel 4 роки тому

Papa Romes Outdoors glad you got to spend some time in the Southwest. These tents are great for the price. Their sleeping bags I think are even a better deal. Enjoy the Adirondacks, haven’t been there since I was a child.

@paparomesoutdoors711 4 роки тому

Gearizona thank you for the response I’ll look into these bags as well. I love the Adirondacks have a cabin I built up there about 9 years ago and I have many videos in my playlists from hiking up there to camping fishing and cooking. Just a beautiful mountain region

@johnclark6751 5 років тому

Zion has vents on the fly the Yosemite doesn't. Better airflow in the zion.

@bradleyjohnson452 5 років тому

Nice review. I’m looking to replace my Kelby tent. You mentioned a wider pad, but I was wondering what pad and bag you use. I’m built about the same and I am looking for a bag that is a little wider.

@ckossel 5 років тому

Bradley Johnson I went with a Klymit Static V Luxe and I use Hyke and Byke Tall 32 degree down tent.

@atapuma5756 5 років тому

Good review! Would you suggest it for harsh weather condition? I'm italian and I usually go hiking in the Alps which means very unstable weather... Can have 35 degress or heavy storm with strong wind and even snow in the same day in summer

@ckossel 5 років тому

El Fonque I think cold is relative upon the person and tolerance and will matter most on the sleeping bag. However winds and rain/snow I think you should be good as long as everything is secure. Too heavy winds will probably be hard on any tent. Just make sure you are inspecting your gear before heading out. Setup and spray it down to be sure you don’t have any leaks... through time in those conditions it would be a standard process in my book.

@bakerstreet101 4 роки тому

I found that gaps between the rain fly and the tub allow a lot of wind to come in. What seasons is this meant for? I felt cold in the 60s F, I would guess it could be too cold in the autumn/high altitude.

@ckossel 4 роки тому

JA YE well it’s all subjective on what makes one feel cold and sleeping bag type, but I do see your point on the gaps for sure.

@kevinlytle6215 5 років тому

Good review. Thanks for comparing to the Half Dome REI tent. Any nights in rain yet?

@ckossel 5 років тому

Kevin Lytle yes, I have! Held up like a champ.

@michaelt3172 5 років тому

I am trying to decide between this tent or the Alps Lynx 2 person tent. The Alps tent has less mesh on it which makes me feel like it would be better for colder weather. Thoughts?

@ckossel 5 років тому

Michael T I also looked at that one as well... I went with H&B because of the cause and warranty. I think your right that the “less mesh” may be a little better for cold weather, but I am not sure really it’s that dependent on it. You need a good sleeping pad and bag for warmth - period. My concerns would be weight, space, wind and rain primarily on a tent.

@michaelt3172 5 років тому

@@ckossel Yeah. I ended up getting the Zion 2. So far, I am really liking it. I set it up in my house and it goes up very easily. Only issue I have with it is the pack size, but that is kind of what I expected with how large the tent is for a 2 person. How do you pack yours for backpacking trips because I was thinking of just ditching the sack altogether and just rolling the tent up and using a belt to hold it together and maybe pack it externally since the stuff sack is a bit long. I am surprised by how good the quality is though

@ckossel 5 років тому

Michael T so I carry a Gregory 48L pack and there are two clips for a “sleeping pad” but I place it there. To be honest I too think it could be made a little bit lighter, but that size seems to all be around 5lbs. I go hammock if I am going super light.

@Menkalo 5 років тому

I’m going back and forth between this tent and their Yosemite 2 tent. Any suggestions?

@ckossel 5 років тому

Well I think its really based on personal preference as they are very comparable tents. The Yosemite is a bit lighter, but has two separated poles with setup; whereas, the Zion tent is a tad heavier, but also has 1 pole for setup and is has a bigger length and width - easier for setup with 1 person backpacking in my opinion. I went through the same decision and went with the Zion based on design shape and I like having more room on the outside angles. The Yosemite seems to be nice for taller people as the peak height gives you more room in the middle (3 inches). To be honest, I don't think you can go wrong with either tent and Hyke & Byke customer service and satisfaction is top notch from what I have discovered. @hykeandbyke #hykeandbyke

@ZebraActual 6 місяців тому

So 5 years later on how has the tent held up? Do you still use it? Any problems? Give us an update.

@ckossel 6 місяців тому

Still running strong. I use it on solo trips occasionally, but I do have a roof top tent on my truck that also gets majority use. But my little kids use this to camp in the backyard for fun. They love it and I love the durability they put it through.

@hiramgonzalez1367 3 роки тому

How heavy is it? Did you waterproof it?

@ckossel 3 роки тому

Hiram Gonzalez yes I used Nikwax and it’s roughly 5lbs for the full trail weight. Not Ultralight by any means, yet doable. Featherweight if you do just footprint and rain fly.

@hiramgonzalez1367 3 роки тому

Gearizona Thank you for your reply. No, it isn’t lightweight tho. I just received mine yesterday, I’ll use it next week and I’ll let you know my experience. I’ll water treat this tent before hit the trail as preventive measure. Thank you again!

@outdoorjeepadventures1416 5 років тому

How much does it weigh?

@ckossel 5 років тому

David Sustaita - the exact specs are in the video description.

@siamwatchaddict9072 5 років тому

Exactly the same as a MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2 or a Naturehike Mongar 2 Nature hike being far cheaper than the MSR...Chinese made..But still quality materials ..

@mikelees5093 5 років тому

The rain fly looks to small for the tent.

@ckossel 5 років тому

I think around 2.3kg for those who are curious. Not the lightest 2 person tent but you can easily transform the weight with removing certain elements of the setup.
