A nicely presented review there. IIRC the blue version of the CP2 has a 15D outer fly, while the more commonly seen green version has a thicker 20D outer and there may be some slight difference in the material construction? The top cover seems to be a talking point as they can flap about in high winds, I've shortened the strings on mine with new stretchy paracord to keep it a little tauter and made a permanent loop to the fly on one to save the bother of trying to get in located properly, useful when setting up in low light conditions or if you've left it until after a visit to the local pub... The other thing that crops up is the zips, I have the original inner T-Door arrangement which to me is far superior to the later half-moon types where the door material drops to the floor...that said the zips are not brilliant quality and I've had a couple of jams on the outer doors while trying to exit, best to run your finger ahead of the zip to clear the outer fly from the zip mech in my experience.
Some good tips there!! The zips can be a pain from what I've seen but I've not had to much bother with them myself. Good tip on the top cover though. I may look at that one!! 👍
This is a great tent, i bought one about one and a half years ago. As you say, once its put up its solid, i love the amount of mesh inside, no condensstion problems. I find the hood a bit of a faff though, its an awkward shape and ive put it on wrong on numerous occasions snd had to start again. My biggest issue with this tent as a solo hiker and wildcamper is the weight at 2.4kg, but over all this is a fantastic tent. Good review, thanks for sharing. Now subscribed 👍
Glad you liked it. The weight is the only real bit that I'm not a huge fan of as well. I find it great for a shorter trip, not sure about the multi day ones tho. Thanks for subscribing!!! 👍😊
I have had this tent for a while now. its a great tent and has done me in all sorts of conditions. I have the green one and it cost me £140 from Naturehike. Couple of little tips for people... - tighten the elastic and this does keep things tight. Just undo the knots and shorten the loops. - loop the guide lines round the poles once as well for additional strength when pegging it out. - use a little bit of para cord and tie 1 / 2 of the peg points to the tent hoops. This stops it blowing away in windy conditions and also aids with making sure you get the hood into the right hoops. - you can fork out for a custom ground sheet so the vestibules are covered which is good in the winter.
