GEERTOP Ultralight Single Person Bivy Tent for Camp Waterproof 1 Man Tent for Camping Hiking Backpacking Hunting Outdoor Survival Gear - Easy Set Up

Day 7 in the field zero complaints. I bought silicone spray and sprayed it twice (drying in between sprays). Heavy rain two days later bivy stayed completely dry. Not sure I needed to do that just an extra precaution I guess. I needed small, light weight and durable and got all three. If you’re claustrophobic don’t buy it, if you’re gonna complain there’s moisture build up and you keep the bivy completely closed up- don’t buy it, key word hasty. Buy a regular tent if those apply. If you need fast shelter, on the move, light weight, plenty of leg room (I’m 5’11” 190) and wide enough you don’t touch the sides this is ideal. It has pockets at the head for say a little mag light, cell phone, glasses etc. The foot end of the bivy has enough space you can take your boots off and store them there out of the elements. This is perfect for a bug-out bag or if your military in a unit where they don’t force you to use the “issue shelter”. Ok the moisture part- sleep with the screen zipped and the tent unzipped. You may get some moisture but nothing like what you’d get with no air coming in if it’s cool out. If it’s cold out and you didn’t bring enough clothes or a sleeping bag zip it up, deal with the moisture and you’ll at least be warm. You’ll still be dry and bugs won’t be on you, my two important factors. Anyway, great price, extremely happy with the bivy and at a fair price. Fast shipping. Hope this helps.

First off a bivy is nothing more than survival gear. Don’t plan on being super comfortable. This one did its job as far as I am concerned. I took it on a multi day bikepacking trip and had to sleep in it while stealth camping. I spent 12 hours in it while it rained all night. It did get damp inside from condensation and humidity but it did not wet out which I consider pretty good under the conditions. The poles did their jobs and kept the mesh off my body and prevented the mosquitos from biting. (Others on the trip only had bivy bags and got bit up.)What I didn’t like. I bought camo for a reason. I didn’t want to be spotted. But this camo shelter has reflective loops sewn in and comes with reflective lines defeating the purpose. The mesh ventilation worked well but could have been even larger.

I recently bought the Geertop bivvy tent from Amazon (although I could have also purchased directly from the Geertop web site) and I am extremely pleased with this item. An estimated delivery time provided by Amazon was 24 days but the parcel was delivered in under two weeks. The first thing that stood out for me was the weight and size of the bivvy - despite having read the specs I was completely surprised at how light and compact the actual package was.Of course I immediately erected the bivvy and here again I was impressed at how easy it was to pitch and at the amount of headroom provided inside. Without reading the instruction sheet (attached inside the storage bag) I had the tent erected in double quick time; especially important if pitching in wet weather.

Look elsewhere if you are going to use this for more than one camping trip. My son who is a Boy Scout purchased this after saving his money for 2-3 night at a time camping trips. Upon take down after it's first use the zipper broke. We tried to make due, but in his second trip, one of the main supports broke near the base. No amount of care or camping experience can compensate for a poor quality, low-grade material tent. Will not last. Our Scout is very disappointed and lost out on the money he spent on this tent. Outside of the return window, so a tough lesson.

The first time setting up this tent was very easy but I did notice how the poles that it came with were very low quality. As soon as I started taking it down, one of my poles snapped, making it utterly useless. I tried contacting customer service to see if they would replace my poles (I sent them numerous photos of the break), they eventually stopped replying. I had a camping trip planned and was in need of a lightweight tent and was hoping I could rely on GEERTOP for such. It turns out I was wrong and ended up going to Walmart and buying their $30 OzarkTrail Bivy tent which was much more reliable and made me regret this purchase.

I'm in the Us Army, and I took this on a few field problems. It did way better than I was expecting, I mean for a 90$ tent.Pros- it did well in the rain - it is light weight and easy to put on your pack. - from 2-3 Field problems and 3-4 weeks if total use it is durable enough for casual to moderate use.Cons- ventilation is not that good, you get hot sometimes - it kept out the rain but condensation built up a little on the inside. - can be a little bit of a pain the put up.Overall it did what it was supposed to, it kept me dry from the rain and kept the mosquitoes off me. I would, and have, recommended to people.

I have used this tent in a variety of conditions and I am very pleased with the performance. It is lightweight and easily packable. It took me 2 minutes to set this tent up, and another 2 minutes to break it down, meaning it is a very easy to work with. The material feels very durable and the zippers are quality. I would certainly recommend this tent to anyone looking for a 1 person tent. It is not meant for more than 1 person but there is lots of space, especially for a taller person!

Priority number one for any tent is it protect from the elements. This tent fails to do that. Spent two nights backpacking in the Eastern Sierra Nevadas, each night the tent leaked. Each night I woke up to water in the tent and my sleeping bag wet. Add 20 degree temperatures and I had two measurable nights. Also, the advertisement stays there are two vents, but my assumption was that they could be closed with attached flaps to help keep the cold out. This tent does not have that. If you want a cheap tent to use in the summer of spring and don't expect rain or dew and the temperatures won't go below 35 degrees you might consider this tent.

Zunächst mal das was der Zollstock an's Licht brachte:Das Biwi-Zelt ist keine 2,30 m sondern nur ca. 2,05-2,08 lang!Packmaß und Gewicht, Höhe und Breite stimmen aber soweit.Platzangebot:Es passt genau eine große 2m x 70cm Iso-Matte perfekt hinein. Die Kopffreiheit ist auch bei einer dicken Luftmatratze noch richtig gut. Das Gefühl der Enge kommt, jedenfalls bei mir, nicht aufMaterial:Sauber vernähtes und überall getaptes Nylon aber ohne Ripstop-Webung.Das Material des Bodens unterscheidet sich, zumindest haptisch, nicht vom Rest des Zeltes. Das schreit geradezu nach einer soliden Bodenplane ala Elefantenhaut!Die drei Gestänge und die Heringe sind aus Alu und machen einen guten Eindruck.Das Moskitonetz ist sehr feinmaschig und auch empfindlich. (Bei Kontakt mit den Klettstreifen oder beim Einklemmen in den Reißverschluss ziehen sich sofort Maschen.)Belüftung:Bei warmem Wetter, ohne Wind steht die Luft im Zelt! Die beiden, letztlich winzigen, Belüftungsöffnungen an Kopf- und Fußende werden durch das extrem feine Moskitonetz praktisch dicht gehalten. Lässt man den Eingang offen und schließt ihn ausschließlich mit dem Moskitonetz, ist alles ok. Wenn nicht, wird es ziemlich schnell, ziemlich stickig.Funktion:Es ist sehr gut möglich das Biwi ohne jeglichen Hering zu nutzen. Lediglich das Fußende würde dann zusammenfallen und entspräche dann aber immer noch in der Funktion einem klassischen Biwaksack.Der Lieferung liegt eine zusätzliche Abspannleine bei. Die lässt sich anstelle des vorderen Abspanndreiecks einsetzen und das Dreieck selbst kann aufgewickelt oder nach unten abgespannt werden um die Luftzirkulation zu regulieren.Die Reißverschlüsse laufen beide nur dann vernünftig, wenn man sie sorgfältig mit der zweiten Hand unterstützt.Ansonsten:Der Latz der die Reißverschlüsse vor Regen schützen soll ist nach meiner Meinung viel zu knapp geschnitten. An einer Stelle überdeckt er die Reißverschlüsse um weniger als 1cm. Dort wird es bei Regen kaum lange trocken bleiben.Die Gestänge versetzen die Bodenplane unter heftige Spannung. Ich befürchte, dass die Nähte in der Bodenplane diesen Stress nicht lange mitmachen und undicht werden könnten. (die üblichen Entlastungsgurte fehlt komplett).Das Biwi lässt sich nicht so faltenfrei abspannen das bei Regen keine Wassersäcke oben entstehen können.Fazit:Mit Bodenplane (ca. 400g) und dem unverzichtbaren Tarp (ca, 350g) kommt auch dieses Biwi locker auf über 2kg und ist damit kaum leichter und schon gar nicht günstiger als ein durchschnittliches Takkingzelt. Trekker werden also auch woanders fündig.Aber auch diejenigen das Biwi für Naturbeobachtung benutzen möchten, müssen ohne einige Modifikationen auf schönes Wetter hoffen !!Wer möchte kann jetzt noch meine Modifikationen nachlesen:1. Entlastungsgurte an die Aufnahmen der Gestängebögen genäht.2. In beide Belüftungsfenster sinnvolles Moskitonetz (100 Maschen cm²) eingesetzt.3. Die Abspannung am Fußende komplett neu gemacht. (Der hintere Gestängebogen kann jetzt oben und an den Seiten unterschiedlich stark gespannt werden. (Das Zeltdach wird auf diese Weise faltenfrei abspannbar.)4. Dem nun überflüssigen Dreieck am Fußende Klett verpasst damit man es aufrollen kann. (So sind beide Lüftungsfenster regulierbar.)5. Der obere Latz über den Reißverschlüssen hat Gummiband bekommen und liegt jetzt eng über den Reißverschlüssen an um sie vor Regen zu schützen.6. Beide Abspannungen haben Gummisegmente bekommen.Danke fürs Lesen.

I Love and enjoy hiking very much 😍, I bought this tent and went hiking for a week, during September 2020, to be exact from Wednesday 16th September 2020 until Tuesday 22 September 2020…All I can say is, whenever I sleep in it at night and it rains, I wake up and I am totally wet, and if I wasn’t carrying with me a waterproof trouser and jacket just in case I needed them, it would have been totally a different story!!The base of the tent where you lay down is very thin, and does not prevent water from leaking inside the tent, so its better to make sure before sleeping in it on a rainy day, that it’s actually set up on a higher grounds than your surroundings, and to be 100% safe try using it during the dry season only.I am afraid I cannot recommend this tent if you’re intending to use it in all weather conditions, there’re much better ones but they’re expensive, unless you want to risk yourself getting ill sleeping in this tent during Autumn and winter seasons.

Ein gutes Biwak Zelt welches gut verarbeitet ist und sehr angenehm zu transportieren ist.Ich habe das Biwak Zelt in einer frischen August Nacht benutzt und hatte eine angenehme Nacht, im Wald ist man wegen des Tarnmusters damit so gut wie unsichtbar. Und das Thema Kondenswasser ist bei solch kleinen geschlossenen Einheiten eben einfach so. Das Snugpak hat dieselben Probleme und schimpft sich Atmungsaktiv...Die Belüftung des Biwak Zeltes ist gut und es lassen sich Schuhe und kleinere Ausrüstungsgegenstände unter diesen "Minivordächern" abstellen. Nach einer Nacht lüftet man das Zelt einfach durch und ruckzuck ist alles trocken, ist ja auch nicht t viel Stoff. :-)Aufbau in unter 5 Minuten ist ohne Probleme möglich.Abbau ebenso. Der Packsack des Zeltes ist groß genug um das Zelt inkl. einer Bodenplane darin unter zu bekommen.Die Heringe sind super und halten ordentlich im Boden und das Gestänge der Streben ist ebenfalls aus einen sehr robusten Aluminium. Tip top!Ich nutze das Biwak Zelt in Verbindung mit dem Vana 4x4x4 Tarp und habe damit ein geräumiges Lager in weniger als 15min aufgestellt welches mich getarnt und sicher vor Regen sowie Wind schützt. Als Bushcrafter eine super Mischung.Platz genug für einen 1,84m Mann mit 80kg und einen 60l rucksack ist darin zu finden.Ich hoffe das meine Rezension zu diesem Biwak Zelt hilfreich war.

It's small lightweight and it is what it is a stealth bivy. I used gold seal having paid much less than anther similar bivy that cost so much more I thought the thing that some people have said is its not waterproof so applied three coats of gold seal, I also used a poncho almost like a second skin over the hood so I could leave the very top part unzipped open on the rain fly, still keeping the profile very low and camouflage like this I went through a rain storm dry inside as well as out as I had great airflow slept well very very pleased well worth the money

I loved this tent at first. It was extremely light weight and fitted me (a 6ft1" man) with one small bag. So it allowed me to walk and camp wherever I chose to rest my head for the night. However 2 years on and after a couple of dozen outings in all weathers it has started to fail in its waterproof abilities. Also the middle of the tent sags down especially when wet and rubs your sleeping bag making that wet, I combated that by using my bivi-bag as well as the tent but the bivi has kind of eliminated the need for the tent now. Also there is no room inside this tent for an expedition bag etc only one small bag unless you are quite a short person.
