2 Person Cloud Up Pro Backpacking Tent - Ultralight Waterproof

Our review of the Cloud Up Pro two person tent finds it best for backpackers and weekend hikers who value low weight and reliable weather protection. The standout reason to buy is its balance of small packed size and strong waterproof performance; at about 4.25 lbs and with a PU3000mm+ coating and taped seams, it keeps occupants dry during heavy rain while fitting easily into a trekking pack. Setup is straightforward and the footprint included adds protection for campsite floors.

Key Features

• Lightweight construction: The 210T polyester fabric and compact packed dimensions make it easy to carry on multi-day trips without adding bulk.
• Waterproof protection: PU3000mm+ coating and taped seams provide confidence in wet weather so the inside stays dry in heavy rain.
• Improved ventilation: A new vent above the front door reduces condensation by increasing airflow between the fly and inner tent.
• Larger front door and vestibule: The upgraded door gives easier access and usable sheltered space for gear or quick cooking in bad weather.
• Two-layer design: The B3 mesh inner and removable rain fly allow flexible use as a breathable sleeping shelter or a standalone sun shelter.
• Footprint included: A footprint is supplied so users get floor protection without buying an extra accessory.

Who It's For

This tent suits solo or two-person backpacking teams, bikepackers, and campers who need a genuinely lightweight, freestanding shelter that packs small and can withstand heavy rain. The modest weight and compact packed size are especially useful for multi-day treks where every ounce matters.

Those who need maximum interior space for gear or who prefer a heavy-duty car-camping setup should look elsewhere; the tent is roomy for two but is best as a true backpacking two-person option rather than a spacious family or basecamp shelter.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very lightweight and compact for backpacking use, fitting easily in a pack alongside other gear.
• Reliable waterproofing with PU3000mm+ coating and taped seams held up well in heavy downpours reported by users.
• Easy to set up and take down, which saves time at camp and reduces hassle in poor weather.
• Footprint included adds value and protects the tent floor from abrasion and damp ground.

Cons

• Interior space is adequate for two but may feel tight for taller sleepers or those who need large amounts of gear inside.
• As a lightweight tent, it uses thinner fabric and alloy poles which may not match the longevity of heavier expedition shelters.
