The Paria Bryce 1P tent might be the best budget-friendly backpacking tent on the market. It comes in at a trail weight of less than 3lbs and costs only $145. It has so much space, it could be considered a 1.5 person tent. I have been using this tent for the last year and love it. It has been recommended by Dan Becker and Backcountry Exposure. The 2P version was named a Backpacker Magazine Top Pick.

What are some other tents that compete with the Bryce 1p? The Featherstone UL Obsidian 1P looks like pretty nice option.

@thehonesthiker Год назад

I have both. Started with the Featherstone UL Obsidian 1p and changed to the Paria Bryce 1p. Both are well made tents for what they cost. Both kept me dry in rain. Couple of main differences though -Obsidian is around 5 ounces lighter packed weight and is semi-freestanding. Still have to stake out the footbox for the complete floor dimensions. -Bryce is MUCH better for people 6'0" or taller. I'm 6'2" and with a 3" pad in the Obsidian, my head touched the top and my toes hit the bottom. That was my main reason for getting the Bryce.

@@thehonesthiker how heavy are each of the tents realistically? it seems like for each there's a 1 lb different between trail and pack weight

@sueb860 Год назад

Great video! I have this tent, as well as 2 of their 15 degree quilts, and had the Insulated Sleeping Pad (Recharge XL). Got 2 holes in the sleeping pad (100% user error) and they sent me extra repair patches. One of the quilts' stitching came undone and after returning it, they sent me a brand new quilt. They have also sent extra quilt buckles and attachment straps free of charge. Great company. Solid products.

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

I’ve had a similar experience with Paria. Their customer service is great, but the products are descent but have durability issues. See you outside!

One of the best reviews on this tent, you explained it well.

@OutsideChronicles Месяц назад

Wow, thanks!

@kylemanuel4171 Год назад

Thanks for this review! I have a ruck coming up and purchased it but was nervous about impending extreme weather. You’ve reassured me this is the tent!

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

It was solid in some pretty heavy rain. It will do well in the wind with guy outs. I’ve still not used them.

@wildernessoutreach2 2 года назад

Great review! Thank you. Wasn't in the market for a one man tent but now I am looking...

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

Great review and content! I have owned the Bryce 2p tent over 1/2 a year now and have taken it out on 4 trips (below freezing and summer) and it has preformed tremendously! I also own their 15 degree therma-down quilt and recharge XL sleeping pad and they are tremendous! I enjoyed your video on Minister Creek and look forward to visiting soon.

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

Thank you. And really great to hear Bryce 2p tent. Question: Are the connections for the pole (the base of the Y) round or more like a triangle? And thanks on Minister Creek as well, it is an amazing hike. You will love it.

@Orangehat04 2 года назад

They are rounded.

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

@@Orangehat04 Ok, mine are too. I noticed that the side poles are a continuous loop through the round part with knots on the end of the two outer poles. The poles that make the top of the tent, have a knot and small washer in the round thing. The knot works it way into where the hole where the pole connects and the pole does not seat 100%. I made a second knot so that the knot and washer stay outside of the round part. Looking on their website, it looks like they have improved and are no longer using a round connection. It looks more triangular. I have contacted Paria support.

@elpretender1357 2 года назад

I am happy that I invested in this tent last year. It has surpassed my expectations by far. The only negative for me has been the bestibule placement. It has made me step on my backpack accidentally when trying to get out more than once.

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

Trade-offs. Thanks for the comment, see you outside!

@RakeshMalikWhiteCrane Год назад

I have a Paria tarp, and had a similar experience; excellent tarp -- it held up fine during a weekend of almost constant rain, even though at a few points it had collected a LOT of water. But the first time I pitched it, I busted two of the stakes...still, for the quality of the tarp even if it came WITHOUT stakes it would still be an excellent value.

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

Thanks for the comment. Cheap stakes seems like a pattern for many tent companies . My suggestion is to upgrade to MSR Groundhogs. See you outside!

@bucky716 2 года назад

The amount of space for a 1p tent is surprising! I love my hammock but need a tent backup and this could be it.

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

I love my hammock too, but I was glad I had a tent when I got caught in a swarm of black flies followed by a thunderstorm on the Allagash last year.

@unpavedexplorer338 2 года назад

I almost purchased this tent. I went with the Lanshan 2, which offered more room and less weight. I still would buy this tent. I have bought a couple products from Paria, The Recharge Pad and the 15 degree quilt.

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

How do you like the quilt? I have been a loyal Outdoor Vitals customer and just purchased their 30 degree Stormloft quilt. But the Paria quilt was on my radar. The Lanshan 2 is popular. I was hesitant to go with a trekking pole tent. But it makes a lot of sense.

@unpavedexplorer338 2 года назад

@@OutsideChronicles I like it for my hammock set up but I don’t like quilts for the ground. I got the Outdoors Vitals minus 20 degree bag. I have not had the opportunity to use it.

@beater82 Год назад

You can also set this tent up to be even lighter by leaving the mess tent portion at home and just using the groundsheet, rainfly and Pole. I recently got the two person and with everything it's 4 lb 6 oz. I'm considering going with their bare minimum setup (fly, groundsheet, poles = 2 lbs/12 oz) this June on a 3 day hike thru the kalmiopsis wilderness, but I am a little concerned about being eaten by bugs at night.

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

This tent is very versatile. See you outside! Enjoy your hike!

@billbender2773 11 месяцев назад

@lukanb1970 2 года назад

I used this at Minister's Creek last week. I consider the "head" end to be the foot end. Couldn't bring myself to get in and have to turn around to lay down. Pockets were useful, even with sitting up to get to them. I use a Nemo tensor wide, and there was still room to put random effects on either side of me that I didn't feel like putting back in my pack. There was enough room in the vestibule to lay down my Atmos AG 50 pack. For me, this tent is the perfect size.

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

Ha, the first 2 or 3 times I used it, I did the same thing with my head on the vent side. Feels un-Fung Shui to have your head next to the door. But several 1p tents are like that. The good thing, aside from the pockets and a little height, it’s a similar size. Glad you like it!

@RDJim 2 года назад

Agree. I want my head opposite that door so I can kick the bear in the face when he comes calling at night.

@OutsideChronicles 2 года назад

@@RDJim because that bear will use the door. It’s funny, but even though I know a bear will rip through a tent like butter, the is comfort in those walls.

@RDJim 2 года назад

@@OutsideChronicles LOL - funny how it works like that.

@bensmith4930 Год назад

I have used this tent a half dozen times and always go feet towards the door. Had an animal swipe my tent a few weeks ago and I definitely felt better that it was towards my feet not my face!

@Greg_M1 2 месяца назад

I appreciate your review and demonstration. Seems like an answer to a quest... freestanding, 1p, relatively lightweight, easy setup, very budget friendly. But why do companies make color choices like this -- the yellow -- when many serious backpackers want to be seen less, not more? Drives me nuts when I find a tent w/ the kind of specs I'm looking for, but then only in 1 garish bright color? WTH? Thanks again. Liked, subscribed.

@OutsideChronicles 2 месяца назад

The color is not bad, I could not get over the front entry. Otherwise it’s a pretty solid tent. Thanks for the comment, I’ll check out your suggestion. See you outside!

@outbackwack368 Год назад

I've heard and seen that the fly guyouts don't pull the fly away from the tent body far enough or taut enough, causing flapping. I could see the walls flapping in your video too from inside... kinda floppy... What's your experience with that? Thanks!

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

I did not have all of the guy outs set in the video. I only had the lower point s which is what I use under normal conditions. To get the fly tighter, you can adjust the corners plus add at least two more guy out points. Both where not really demoed in the video.

@ItzEngelhart 7 месяцев назад

Does it leak at the door and drop into the tent? I’ve been using a marmot 2P tent that has been great but I am looking for a good 1P tent. I’ve always been curious about tents with the door being in the front. Not that I intentionally go camping in the rain but has rain gotten inside the tent from the door?

@OutsideChronicles 7 месяцев назад

It does not seem to leak, to be honest, the front door access is a bit annoying. I end up taking my MSR Hubba Hubba 2p more often. I have been looking a a Durston X-mid 1p for an ultralight kit.

@razvanmarinescu9062 Год назад

Hello for the tent, what do you choose / recommend between Bryce 1P and Zion 1P, both from Paria?

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

The Zion 1p has a total weight of 2oz more. It might be a better choice, I would trade the 2oz to have a side entry.

@razvanmarinescu9062 Год назад

@@OutsideChronicles Thank you

@chawa556 Год назад

Would you recommend this tent over the REI Flash air 2?

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

That's a tough one because of the price difference. I would recommend the Durston X Mid 1p in the price range you are looking at.

@natlovell122 2 месяца назад

Is this tent any different than a Naturehike Cloud up 1?

@OutsideChronicles 2 месяца назад

It looks identical, I can’t comment on the build quality comparison.

@davidjohnstone4975 Год назад

I hope my 1P Bryce from Paria ends up being good. So far I can only report on the poor experience I have with their customer service and the slow shipping provider they use. My tent is coming to Canada so I had to pay for the terribly slow shipping. And the service also lacks any real updates -- 11 days without any information since the last update. Plus the other days of shipment movement previous. Truly disappointing. Just so others are aware of the service you might have to endure. Or lack thereof.

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

That is too bad on the shipping delays. You will really like this tent. See you outside!
