   Upon setting up the “upgraded” version of the tent, I noticed it was missing THE UPGRADE! The original version had only 4 guy out points ( two on the left and two on the right). The new version is supposed to have 6! Two on either side of the rear above the giant vent. This is important because under wind stress or heavy rain, the tent will sag and the overall structural integrity are compromised. I contacted One Tigris only to be told my message would be forwarded to a representative at whatcampingtent.com. I waited 4 days and got no response whatsoever. I reached out to OneTigris once again, only to be asked if I received the old version AGAIN. This time I clarified that I did in fact receive the old version. The pictures I’ve attached are the same I sent to the company. As it happens, I had a camping trip booked 5 days away from the day I received the tent. I decided to take it out (just one night). It rained heavily from approximately 8pm-6am and although the tent is waterproof, the condensation was horrible! For a tent that boasts its breath ability, this thing is awful. Oh! I almost forgot, the tent didn’t have a light hook at the peak (or anywhere for that matter) which was more of a pain than you might imagine. I still have heard nothing back from OneTigris as of today. The tent stakes are weak too. I’ve purchased more items than I can count on whatcampingtent.com, and I’ve had my fair share of disappointments, but never more so than now. This may be the only time I felt the need to review a product. Save your money! The old versions are being sold as “upgraded” and if you didn’t do your research on what was actually upgraded, you could easily end up with an inferior version of the product for the price of the new. Update: The company finally reached out to me and is sending me a new tent. Happy they made things right, but I’m hoping they pull the old models off the shelf so no one else has to go through this.

   Brilliant little tent,very light and packs down small. Lots of room inside,I’m 6 foot and could lie down no problems,I could also get my pants on standing up…a feat at my age (53).
   Used this tent for a couple of days at ABR Festival…a bit of condensation in the morning but not too bad for a single skin tent,very quick to erect and pack away… Recommended 👍

   I think this new One Tigris Tetra tent is brilliant. Its dead-easy to pitch (in may ways its very similar to the DD Pyramid XL when used with the DD Solo Mesh Tent), and very sturdy in windy conditions with the extra guy-out points. the inner is really roomy, providing plenty of space for your sleeping pad and any accessories, and the porch is huge, so cooking out of any adverse weather is easy.

   I definitely did not NEED another tent – I’ve purchased SO many in the last 3 years. Most recently a Blacktail 2 Hotel less than 2 months ago. I came across this Tetra 160. I looked at it for a few weeks knowing I shouldn’t. But also knowing I eventually would. Black Friday pricing dropped, and I went for it. I’ve only been able to take it out once so far – even had the pleasure of putting it up the first time in the dark. And I’m already pretty sure this is gonna be my Go-To for a while. For my motocamping, this is a great, single wall, 2p tipi tent with a floor/mesh sleeping area and a large vestibule. It’s lightish and smallish when packed. Easy to put up / take down, and with minimal (any?) fiddle factor – double walled tipis where you have to string up the inner mesh and then the outer fly are no fun. The venting is pretty brilliant, and also raises the “base” of the tipi so that there is plenty of room for a 6′ person to not have to worry about head or feet touching the walls, or that typical, oppressive, tipi/pyramid wall-in-your-face feeling. Kudos to 1TG for using shock cord locks for the door keeper toggles. This is genius, and I’ve only seen it on one other tent I own (Naturehike VIK1). I just received a carbon pole extender to use my carbon trekking pole instead of the included aluminum pole. Before the pole extender arrived, I also came across (and ordered!) a custom .710 carbon tent pole from Ruta Locura. This is not to say there’s anything wrong with the included aluminum pole – it is more than adequate. To compare the Tetra 160 to my new Blacktail 2 Hotel: • $180 vs the BT $300 • 4lb vs the BT 6lb+ • Very similar square footage (leaving out the seldom used secondary/small vestibule of the BT) Tetra 160 is 31′ (94×47) and 31′ vestibule (62′ total) BT is 33′ (90×52) and 28′ main/large vestibule (61′ total – secondary/small vestibule adds 9′) • One pole vs the BT four poles – definitely less fiddly to put up / take down. Can use trek pole or stick (or even top loop) if wanted/needed. • Better for windy conditions (it’s a tipi!). The BT, sadly (oddly), does NOT have fly/pole velcro. Needs on a future Tetra: • Two corner poles should be removable. For packing on a moto, smaller/unfixed packs better than longer/fixed. The Tetra packs down fairly small, but the built-in poles keep it from being packed down to easily half its current pack size. There’s really no reason each corner couldn’t be a double-ended, spiked pole, held in place with grommets on each of the corner straps (or again, sticks if needed). I typically stuff my tents and carry the poles separately (in an area where they won’t break if the bike is dropped), so adding the two shorty poles to the single main pole would be great. • A full suite of mid-tent guyout points (4 corners, 4 mids) as is usually found on most tipi/pyramid tents. The Tetra has 4 oddly placed guyouts – 1 left mid, 1 right mid, 1 left-forward corner, 1 right-forward corner. Odd in that those are the only 4, and they are biased towards the front/door of the tent. I do plan on pitching it front (door) into the wind, so this setup should be mostly fine, but if the wind direction changes, I would like guyouts keeping the middle of the tent from bowing in from all directions. In the meantime, I have a set of GripClips that I purchased for the Blacktail’s lack of fly/pole velcro (why, Big Agnes??), and they should work fine for the 4 “missing” guyouts on the Tetra. Wants on a future Tetra: • Gear loft / light attachment points. There are NONE. This could have been easy, even using, say, the mesh storage organizer from 1TG’s WORKTOP table. Heck, go big – one in the mesh area and one in the vestibule! But minimum would be to have internal loops where each of the 8 guyout points SHOULD be. The mesh door keeper toggles are usable, but not ideal. For now, I’ll be putting a 1TG Camping Lanyard (loops) over the pole, with half in the mesh and half in the vestibule (more kudos to 1TG for the half inch loop strap vs everyone else’s one inch straps). And if I use the GripClips they will have internal loops as well. • Colors. The Urban Grey is much better than all of the silly/bright colors used in most tents. But I would have expected Coyote/Khaki/Green choices from 1TG. Anyway, that’s way too many words to say “This tent is great!” Hopefully my [censored] moto shop will give me MY bike back soon (loaner in the pics) so I can get back to my regularly scheduled motocamping with this fantastic tent!

   They sent me the first version of this tent, not the upgraded(version 2) as advertised. There are a few other reviews were this has happened. The upgrade added two guy points on the back of the tent, which is quite important in any tent, especially a teepee style. If you don’t have them, your only tie down points are on the door side of the tent, which doesn’t make much sense. Other than that, it’s made well, has ample room for one person and gear, and sets up easily. The vent is off putting, for some reason I thought it would zip up flush, it does not(in fact there is no zipper), and it will always be letting in outside air, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable using it in colder weather or if you were expecting a wet and windy time, as i feel any driving rain would probably find it way into the tent. Pros: well made, easy to set up, plenty of room, probably has good venting. Cons: vent area does not seal all the way, no hanging hook for lights, wrong product sent.

   I got this one for backpacking and camping for when it’s just me going. Super easy to setup. The ventilation is nice on this tent especially if you set it up with the door as a awning. Plenty of room for gear. And it is waterproof. It came a torrential downpour while I was camping for three hours and then a steady rain throughout the night and in the morning it hadn’t leaked at all. I was very impressed with that. It’s very light weight and very easy to take down. It’s easy to get back into it’s bag. I will say that two people can fit in it but it will be a a little tight. But really great for one person. Overall I was very impressed with this tent and quality of it.

   the bath tub flooring is stitched into thew main tent, therefore what condensation that does form runs down the inside of the tent and fill the bath tub floor with water. If I was to buy again I would buy without the floor and bug net. Purchase a separate one and place inside.

   I just got this tent and set it up to inspect it and test it for being waterproof. It passed the waterproof test. The tent had an excellent build quality. There were no loose threads or other defects.

   Setup is a breeze. It is as simple as staking out the four corners of the tent, clicking the pole together, inserting the pole into the tent, and securing some guy lines.

   This tent is fairly lightweight. The materials and build quality are top notch. The tent is for the most part tall enough for me to stand up in (I am 5’11”). That feature will great for those occasions where you get stuck in the tent due to inclement weather. The vestibule is very large. The ventilation is excellent. This will be my new summer tent.

   I will update this review as I get a chance to use this tent more. Sorry, it is cold in Wisconsin right now, I have warmer tents, and I hate being cold.
