Could be good for bike packing? Cheap enough.

I looked at one of these when getting mine. The shape is dead weird but would work I suppose.
I ended up with a Naturehike cloud up.
Good price though 👍

I've got the North ridge version and it isn't a great design. If they put a guy-line on the large flat back panel it would be more useful. As it is, in even a reasonable breeze that panel 'collapses' in on the occupant. Same in heavy rain. Real shame as its really small and lightweight

+1 on it being a poorly thought through design.
Like so many cheaper tents, a few moments of thought with someone who uses them not at the factory gate in China would be good...

We bought a cheap OEX tent. The poles were a disappointment…..

It's not what I would describe as 'ultra lightweight', either, being roughly twice the weight of my similarly sized tent. Doesn't mean it's not decent value for what it is, design issues notwithstanding, although I'm not sure an RRP of 180 quid was ever realistic.
