Geertop amazon tent

[Katera94]

Anyone ever tried this tent front amazon.. It was on a few lists under a Google search of "best trekking pole tents'.. how is it?

Check out the lanshan tents (also sometime listed as "Mier"). Trekking pole and way more reviews compared to geertop. I have a lanshan 2p and it was great last year for 18 nights. Planning to have it out for 25 nights this september.

It does seem nicer, I canceled my other one and ordered that, thanks, do you know where I can get a footprint, the only ones I seem to find ship from other countries...

I made my own out of polycro window sealing plastic. Super light and works great. I used brown packing tape to attach nylon washers to each corner, then put some shock cord on each corner to attach it to my stakes.
Also don’t forget to look up seam sealing instructions for the model you got!
If it’s the 2p double wallled version (not to “pro” version that is single walled), then there’s just a couple guy-out points you need to seam seal.

I got this one.. which one do you prefer.. couldn't find the difference between pro and plus or whatever

that looks like just the inner liner. you need to get a tent or tarp to put over ...

assuming you got the full tent and not just the inner like that’s picture shows, then you got the 1p version of mine.
I prefer it to the pro version because I like double walled tents so condensation doesnt drip on me.
