Very cool; nice to see a manufacturer paying attention and making changes. Suggestion: buy a cheap rain gauge and install it near the tent so you can see and show exactly how much rain fell during these tests.

I agree with the lost customers part. To know you have a defective product and not remove it from the market WILL cost you future and present customers. Customers do not like feeling like they've been cheated. Whether real or not perception is everything. With such a huge outdoors market, consumers have many. many choices. I had been a one tigris customer, but no longer. I refuse to do business with companies who are about the money and not the integrity. Same with Nature hike. I bought one of their tents, was shorted 2 stakes and they refused to send them to me. My story to everyone about these products (including internet reviews, blogs, ect.) will be as I've explained. Good news travels fast, but bad news travels faster. Luke's channel is a beacon on integrity. We he says "strength and honor", he means it.

Luke, great review. Small suggestion, why not put a little rain gauge a few feet away to record just (on some occasions) just how much rain fell there on Lone Wolf Mountain.

I recently purchased a OneTigris Cosmitto 2.0 tent for my bicycle touring trips. This tent will replace a Kelty Vortex 2 tent that I’ve had for nearly 25 years. On a tour of the Oregon coast recently I found that the Vortex tent had developed a leak. It was an easy fix with some polyurethane seam seal, but it got me to thinking that maybe it was time for an upgrade. The features that worked well for me in the old Vortex tent included: - Polyester fabric - Freestanding dome configuration w/ 2 doors - Good wind and rain protection Bicycle touring is a bit different than backpacking. Although weight is still a critical factor, it is not as quite as significant as when someone has all of the gear on their back. And bulk size is not as much of an issue either. I have found over the years that there are places where weight can be saved, but skimping on a tent is not one of them. For touring I typically use established campgrounds where there is soft ground and grassy surfaces to pitch, and honestly in worst cases I pick up a motel room. On every trip there is the inevitable stealth camps when nothing else is available, and sometimes it includes setting up on concrete pads and pavement (thus making a free-standing design necessary). The camping aspect of the trips is important, so I’ve found it best to get equipment that is balanced more toward indestructible than lightweight. One of the reasons that I kept my Vortex tent (8 lbs pack weight) for so long is that it dependably stayed dry and held up very well in some pretty horrific storms. My style of bicycle touring usually involves weeks of leisurely peddling along coastlines, mountain roads and rail trails, with stops for a day or more at a time to go hiking and kayaking. To date most of my touring has been in the northern US and a couple of expeditions through New Zealand. Planned trips include Patagonia, Canada, and??? Seasons are typically spring and fall, and the weather has ranged from sunny 60F to snow with gale-force winds. The range of conditions requires a flexible tent which can handle rain, wind, and sun. Not quite 4th season expedition grade, but close. There seems to be an on-going discussion as to the use of nylon vs polyester for tents. Nylon is stronger and lighter than polyester, however its main drawback for tents is that it can swell up to 3% when wet. Nylon rain flies and guy lines will sag and loosen when wet if not continually tightened. The larger the tent and longer the line means more stretch. It’s nice to have ultralight gear, but for tents I’m willing to carry a bit more weight if nothing else than for peace of mind. Having used tents made from both fabrics I prefer polyester by far. It holds up better over a wider range of conditions, and dries faster. The Cosmitto tent uses the lightest polyester fabric available for the rain fly (20 denier) and heavier 75 denier for the flooring material. I think that it will be an optimal balance between weight and strength. The stitching on the Cosmitto tent is good quality, and I only found a few loose threads (typical on a polyester tent). All of the seams are tape sealed. Reinforcing patches have been added to all critical stress points (pole, line and clip connections). The webbing used at the pole corner connections is ¾” wide instead of the 3/8” used on many ultralight tents. (These stress points are not a good place to save half an ounce.) I chose the Coyote Brown color. The tent body is a medium brown, but the fly is a dark chocolate brown - much darker than what the company website indicates. It will work just fine for stealth camps, and the fly is dark enough to conceal light at night. I suspect that it will be very hot when pitched in direct sunlight, so good ventilation will be required. Some people like to have bright colored tents (red, purple, yellow, etc.), and they might look good from the outside. But sit inside one for a day and its like being in a 1970’s discotheque. There are two basic pole configurations for dome tents: straight cross-over and double “Y” (MSR Hubba Hubba style). The double Y arrangement is lighter due to less length of poles, and it keeps the end walls of the tent nearly vertical to make good use of the space. The weakness is that the side walls where the doors are located are not as well supported as the ends, and do not provide decent guy points. The cross-over design with a transverse pole (as in the Cosmitto) is a much stronger configuration and provides symmetric points to attach guy lines. The kink in the Cosmitto 2.0 poles is at just the right height to make the walls more vertical and create more headroom than using straight poles as found in the 1.0 version (and also my old Vortex). The tent poles are painted black to make it easy to see if the pole connections are tight. The polished silver aluminum male ends stand out distinctly if not inserted all the way in. A nice touch. One of the features on my old Vortex tent was what Kelty referred to as “Flyboys”. These were cylindrical slotted plastic clips about 1” long that slid into patches on the rainfly. The clips effectively pinched the rainfly to the poles and provided a point to attach guy lines. That way the guy lines were connected directly to the poles and the fly together instead of just the fly, giving a much sturdier coupling. (Hilleberg uses longer guy webbing straps that wrap around the external poles to achieve the same effect.) I removed the four clips from the old Vortex tent and found that they could be used on the Cosmitto using 3” long strips of 1” wide polyester webbing (nylon swells when wet, polyester does not) as padding between the fly and clip. These clips should allow the tent to be firmly clamped to the ground and dramatically increase its wind stability. (Kelty used the Flyboy clips on their Webforce series tents about twenty+ years ago, and I have not seen them anywhere else.) For a footprint I have a 4-mil twin-size mattress bag that opens on one end. The bag is large enough to just cover the bottom of the tent. The other purpose of the bag is as a package for the bicycle when transporting it on buses and airplanes, much like the CTC bags used in Europe. With an added strip of 1” webbing that ties between the seat and handlebar stem for a handle, the whole package weighs 20 oz - heavy for a footprint but incredibly light for multi-modal transport storage system. The Cosmitto tent uses inverted “T” doors on both sides as opposed to the “D” style portals found on my old Vortex. The T doors allow the entire sides of the tent to be opened up, and provide so much access that it is possible to put my entire bicycle inside the tent in situations where I want to keep it out of sight. The amount of mesh in the tent body looks to be a good balance between having good ventilation and keeping the heat in. The mesh is a high-density type that should keep out most bugs. The two mesh storage pockets are well placed and generous in size. The stakes and guy lines that came with the tent were adequate. As an upgrade I replaced the stakes with a mixture of titanium nails and titanium “Y’ stakes. The nails are heavier than the Y’s, but are better for hard ground and have better holding strength. The nails will be used for the long guy lines (higher up and structural to the poles) and the Ys will be used to hold the fly in place. Also, I replaced all of the cordage with reflective polyester line. Extra line was added to the corners and midpoints to give more flexibility in setting the stake points. The zippers are good quality YKK brand. I lubricated the zips and pole connections with a ‘dry’ type silicone oil that I use for my bicycle chains. Loops have been placed at the top corners so that another gear loft could be added, or simply to hang a clothesline. Another carryover from the old tent is a Sierra Designs Taquito tent bag. It’s an organizer that rolls out flat and has dedicated mesh pockets for the tent body and fly, and solid pockets for the poles and stakes. There are three compression straps and carrying tether. I’ve found this arrangement to be easier/faster/lighter than using stuff bags with separate bags for poles and stakes. It also makes it easier to partially dry the tent by simply rolling it open. (Sierra Designs stopped selling these items about fifteen years ago and transferred the Taquito name to a series of sleeping bags.) So far I have only a couple of complaints: - The tie back loops on the fly doors are too low to the ground, and don’t do a very good job of holding the rolled tent doors in-place. I attached short strips of Velcro higher up on the tent body and door to take care of it; and - The grommets at the tent corners where the poles attach are too large, and allow the poles to pop out when setting up. For a temporary fix I wrapped a 1” wide strip of heavy black duct tape around the grommets and then punched

The Cosmitto recently went on sale on amazon and after this review i decided it was a perfect point for me to pick up and try myself. I hike for 2 nights through the Manistee forest in Michigan. I love this tent. The first night I had a random thunderstorm roll in and after closing the vents which water was only splashing through, I was completely dry. Its take about 5 minutes to set up and take down, leisurely. I have a more expensive tent the dosen't perform as good as this.

we have a drinking game while watching your channel. every time you say "the thing is this" we drink. get drunk every time. lol

Love how you give products a chance to make things right

Glad to see they fixed the issues. Thanks for the review!

Looking forward to your full report, thanks for your good work!

Wow, this tent really stood up to the rain! I was impressed with how dry everything stayed inside. The Cosmitto 2.0 One Tigris tent looks like a great option for anyone who loves camping in all types of weather. Thanks for the thorough review and demonstration in real-life conditions!

I have a friend that only car camps and is in need of a new tent, glad to see this initial review and I can now recommend this tent to him to replace his really old worn out tent. Good job!

Glad to see. I really like one tigris and have both tents. Though the new 1 will be my go to. Ready to see another video update on it.

Thanks for the review. Very useful!

So cool that one Tigris listened and fixed their tent awsome news , Thanks Luke for the test. always appreciate your reviews

Nice! They fixed it. Great test Luke, thanks.

I think I found my next tent. Thanks for the review!

Brilliant as always Luke

I have this very tent, bought it a couple of weeks ago. Haven't tested it out in the rain yet but it hold up to wind pretty good.

Good job on OneTigris. They listened, re-designed and produced a banger. Mine will be ordered tomorrow. Thanks, Luke...and the community. SOME companies don't suck after all. Kudos need to be given when the company listens and improves the quality of their product. OneTigris appears to be that company.

Great to hear that this one didn't leak after the redesign. 👍

I'll probably buy this. I want an upgrade over my River Country 2.2. The River Country 2.2 is an excellent tent for what it is, but an experience during my last camping trip highlighted the need for being able to make a quick exit that won't visibly shake the whole tent (it involved some sketchy people at 2 AM at a very remote camp site). For security reasons, I don't feel comfortable using that style of tent when camping alone anymore. I'll also always be setting up my tent with the door away from the road.

Thanks Luke, I was thinking of getting this tent as a backup for a friend.

Nice looking tent, look forward to the next review.

It better not leak I just got mine delivered and still in the bag. Glad it did not leak thus far...now I can breath.

Mellow good morning Luke. Love the test vids!!!

Excellent review as Always boss keep up all the great work that you do for us campers out there 👏👏👏

Great review Luke as always. Well I didn't comment to say if it would leak or wouldn't but I'm glad it didn't leak hopefully they will step up their game now and make everything as good or better. Thanks for all you do. You're the Man. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗HUGS🤗

Thumbs up for TOGR..👍👍

Glad they fixed the problems. A great step forward. Thanks, Luke!! Later.

Good on OneTigris for upping their game👍

Thank you Luke

I haven’t viewed the channel in almost 4 or 5 months now, but I have to say that you are looking JACKED bro! Good work!

I'm so glad it didn't leak! I've been wanting this tent for a while but didn't pull the trigger on the fact it leaked. I live in Las Vegas, so rain isn't really an issue, but when I go to northern Arizona to camp, they get some heavy rain there sometimes, so a tent that doesn't leak would be awesome!

With all your Onetigris reviews and my subsequent purchases this is now on my list. I already have an REI Passage 2 and a Teton Sports Ultra 3 which have both served me well for mostly desert camping with little precipitation. I'm digging the upside down T for the zippers instead of the full arc zippers of the other two tents. Hell most of the time I sleep in the back of my truck anyway but sometimes I want to watch the stars and fall off to slumber that way. Love having options. Thanks for the review on the updated version.

Definitely your video affected me buying it. I would not have known about the leaks without your video review. so I appreciate the work you do in reviewing these types of tents. I’m glad that the revised version is better because I really like the look of this tent. I can’t wait to see your next video on this tent I’m definitely holding off until then. I want to know if the removal of the vents will affect airflow.

Eagerly awaiting more Cosmitto content 😃 I now have one in the post

Strong work Luke.

Excellent to the point Video. Tell it like it is Luke.

Really good test I’m thinking of buying one I’ll wait till the next test thanks Luke

Great job Luke

Good review Luke!

I love your reviews man!

So far, I like it ! Well done.

I did order this, i live in Finland, cant wait for it :)

Great job! Now, I look forward to a good condensation test….

I am happy the cosmitto 2.0 did not leak but if you got the old version onetigris should replace it in my view.. Thanks for a great video !

Been using this tent for a couple weeks on and off the river when I have time, Love it, I do wish it came with a footprint. Overall though this tent is a bang for your buck tent. looks nice, feels nice, and has been waterproof so far, and the bag isn't too small too, & that is one thing I hate about tents. this storage bag is easy to use and has a lot more room. even an extra footprint for when I plan on getting one.

Thanks for your honest opinions as always 👌 I wish one Tigris made that tent in a brownish colour to blend in with the woodland. Atb Taff 🤠👊

You never fail to entertain. 🙌

I bought this tent based off of this review. I can’t wait to see the future testing you will be doing on this tent. Any idea when you will be coming back to this tent to do the future testing? Keep up the great work.

I’ve been waiting for this one.

I was hoping it wasn't going to leak. I think this is a really cool design for a tent.

Well done

I like this colour over the other. Tomorrow arrives our package of two Cosmitto 2 tents in this colour.

Finally!!! Thankyou

Nice looking tent Looking good Luke

In the market for a new tent ,I’ll be following you on this tent

Excellent video

Thx Luke

That is a great looking tent, I hope it doesn't leak

Another great job reviewing products for the consumer! Actually not surprised that they made the correction and also not surprised they didn’t cancel sales. Interested to see the rest of the review once it’s test time is finished.

Beautiful tent. My best wishes from Greece my friend

I have two One Tigris tents in my van...one for the beach and one for backpacking. I love them both. The Cosmitto is a nice looking tent. I agree the original should have been pulled off the market...big mistake on their part. Nicely done, Luke.

I just bought this tent hope it is durable

What temperatures would you recommend for this tent what’s ideal and what’s pushing its limits. Love the channel been a huge fan for years keep up the good work

I really hope not i wouldnt mind haveing this. If this tent works out like i hope it does i might get one. Nice that awsome it didnt get wet !!! I cant wait to see what u will put it thru. I might invest in one of these withyour reviews

Just ordered this tent. I will be using it in a few days but there is very little rain in the forecast.

Well I will keep following and see how the rest of your testing goes. Still leary, especially by the fact they did not pull the original off the market and let people keep buying potentially putting them in jeopardy

In a tent with no top vents I use a rechargeable fan to move air and it usually works to stop condensation

Never mind the tent. Luke looking SWOLL! Dang bro..Gains!

It took a literal act of god for me not to hit the comments section, as I was so excited to see the outcome. Thanks for this review mate. Another tent to go on my list for bike camps

Bought the second version of the first one but never used it because of your review. Live in Oregon, so that one will probably be a good two-season car camping tent. The 2.0 just arrived and am looking forward to seeing how it does. Thanks again for your reviews -- I hope you're getting commissions (or something) on the gear I've picked up because of your work!

Hi nice thanks for sharing stay blessed

@6:10 cool i was wrong and i'm glad it didn't leak :) i still love the design too :)

Hi Luke! To measure rain easily, put an empty tuna can next to the tent. I am in the "gonna leak" side.

I like too see it in a windy rain test!!!!! 😅

I always pitch my tent and then throw a tarp over top of the whole campsite, that's saved my wife and me some wet mornings. I've had good, water-tight tents leak in some Oklahoma storms on the lake, I'll tell you. That's why I started using the tarp over all, plus it creates some space for my other equipment that doesn't go in the tent and I don't want to keep it in the vehicle. Some of those Oklahoma storms are pretty wild, and the winds are fierce. I had to resort to using big 12 inch timber spikes for tent and tarp stakes. That Oklahoma soil is all rocks, seemingly, and the little weenie aluminum stakes would come loose and flap dangerously in the wind, if I could even get them into the ground at all. Even those aluminum stakes can harm or even kill when they are being whipped around like that. I've had to go out in a couple of those storms, to re-secure them before they could rip my tarp or tent to shreds. Never had any problems after I started using the timber spikes.

I must admit I too thought it would leak. I’m super happy that it didn’t. May add this one to my arsenal. I have been happy with the one Tigres products I have purchased thus far. Thanks for what you do Luke!

Man I’ve been waiting for this test. I ordered one on Amazon a couple weeks ago on sale for 139.99. A breeze to set up. Can’t wait to use it. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.

I might be wrong, but I like a ridged looking tent. I don't like flies flapping around. Many tents dont have adequate guy line attachments to keep the fly ridged. My tents look like spiders webs! 🤣 I have a Tunnel tent which I really like for the waterproofing. But there are far too few guy line attachments. And dont get me started on dome tents that attach guy line points above half way, so when the wind blows they bend the poles. Good job Sir.

I was hoping for the best.

I noticed Onetigris have got a few more new tents on their website - the STELLA, COMETA, and NEBULA camping tents. Would be interesting to hear how these tents do, especially since the first two is said to be a 4-season tent.

I was surely impressed with this thing. I wasn't sure actually, 50/50 chance. I rate this tent a 9.5 out of 10. I'm impressed so far.

Your lookin hella fit my friend.

Two thumbs up!

Nice tent, hope it comes in camo.

When will we see more of the RAB tarp l, have been wanting a large light weight for a hot minute. I am really anticipating the review.

Yo dude, I miss you camping 🏕 in the snow ❄️

I'm not in the market for a new tent, but I am fascinated by the saga of this tent.

Coffee time!!!

Happy with my Fallraven great review

Great video Luke I worry about you out by your. Self I go out and had have had people try to come up on me at night please do a video on carrying something to protect your self I carry pluss a small cold steel shovel for camp and protection I'm glade 1 Tigris fixed the problems this is awesome

Are the shirts getting tighter or are you getting bigger, looking solid my man 👍

at last they listened!

Can’t wait to see how this does in sustained heavy rain…

I was a scout when I was younger we were taught to dig a trench around the tent so water could run off

this is good looking tent for anyone who don't like them bright color tents.

The tent looks great and definitely waterproof, my real concern is airflow inside of it!

One Tigris 💯👍.

I wonder how they will identify the old version vs the newer version and how many of the old are in the resellers inventory?
