Cheap Lightweight or an Expensive Ultralight Tent?

Should you get a cheap lightweight tent or an expensive ultralight tent for hiking? I had the same question when I just started out. I've been using both options for a while now, and in this video, I share my own personal opinion on that. To be specific I compare the Bessport 2P Basic Lightweight tent, which costs about 80$ with the R.E.I. Flash Air 1 Ultralight tent, which costs about 250$. ▼ TENTS REVIEWED IN THIS VIDEO (affiliate links) Ultralight tent ➜ (Rei.com: https://www.rei.com/product/168564/rei-co-op-flash-air-1-tent) Lightweight tent ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3r773Zc) ▼ TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:00 - Beginning 00:27 - Price, weight, packed size 02:10 - Setting up both tents 03:28 - Interior liveability 05:09 - Rain-resistance & ventilation 06:24 - Durability 07:39 - Final verdict ▼ MY FULL GEAR LIST (affiliate links) Silverlight socks ➜ (Silverlight: https://alnk.to/4BECIUi) (15% discount code: hikemuch15) Osprey Talon 44 backpack (new model) ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pZUZHK) Black Diamond Distance FLZ trekking poles ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3xkFazq) Water filter ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3riXlDf) Cicerone guidebook ➜ 54(https://www.cicerone.co.uk/the-gr11-trail-sixth) Set of 3 dry sacks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bTlwBB) Tent ➜ (Rei.com: https://www.rei.com/product/168564/rei-co-op-flash-air-1-tent) Camping pillow ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MzzUWT) Decathlon Microfiber towel ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/ultra-compact-microfiber-towel-size-m-26-x-35-158324) Sleeping pad ➜ (Rei.com: https://www.rei.com/product/157892/rei-co-op-flash-thermal-sleeping-pad) Cooking pot ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2NRcywv) Spork ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3b2moVk) Silicone camping cup ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37YIOoq) Cooking stove ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37W4SzS) Power bank ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gmqRER) Headlamp ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37X41iH) Camera ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3r8OALH) Lense ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/301mCWh) ND filter ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3q5GrX1) Camera mounted microphone ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3r7Yyge) GoPro Hero 7 ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3dXVpvO) Peak designs capture clip ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3dVRQq7) Fanny pack for my camera gear ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37UJfA4) Sunglasses ➜ (https://vallon.store/collections/shop-all/products/waylons-mirror) Sea to Summit trowel ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3iHAMGB) Gear Air repair kit ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pXnnfq) Swiss Army Knife ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MAHrVr) Decathlon Down Jacket Trek 100 ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/mens-mountain-backpacking-down-jacket-trek500) Marmot PreCip rain jacket ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gqiBE3) North Face beanie ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3zqR7pd) Decathlon Evadict Mt2 ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/mens-trail-running-shoes-mt2-300547) ▼ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.instagram.com/oscarbrumelis/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oscarhikes ▼ AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE In some of our videos and articles, we sometimes use affiliate links.
