First Look: Naturehike Opulas 3
**Disclaimer: I was sent this tent by Naturehike for free and not asked to make any content. This is not a sponsored video and all views are my own.
With winter approaching I have been on the lookout for a bigger tent offering more space for the winter months. The nights are longer and with the inclement weather there's a real benefit to using a tent with much more space. Whether it's cooking in your vestibule, more space for gear or a good space to get changed out of wet weather gear.
I recently sold my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 and replaced it with the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 3 which I purchased myself. This has a lower height than some other tunnel tents and although it does have more vestibule space than I'm used to I was intrigued to try a tent with a full size vestibule and doors.
I reached out to Naturehike as always liked their tents and still own the Cloud Peak 2, and they kindly sent me the Opulas 3. As you'll see in the video, this is a much bigger tent and I have to say on first impressions I'm really impressed. Of course, this is just my first impressions and looking forward to taking this out on a camp soon to give it a real test.
Although labelled as a 4 season tent, yes it's a tent you could use all year around however it's not a true 4 season tent. The inner is almost full mesh and the sides don't go all the way to the floor - 2 things which a 4 season tent needs. However, for me this tent will absolutely work in Winter too...although I wouldn't pitch on a summit or in snow storms.
Once getting in this tent and then into the Abisko lite 3 I'm super pleased with the space on offer. I love it and now makes being in the Abisko feel really cramped and miss the space. Both tents are awesome and obviously the Naturehike is a budget option whereas Fjallraven you're paying for much higher quality materials.
However...what works for you? I wanted to get this tent as I really think it's a great tent and certainly more attainable as it's a third of the price of the Fjallraven. Pop any questions in the comments below of anything you want to know or see or me test and I will make sure I do that when I take it out next.
