Title: WANDELEN: A COMPANY THAT CARES
Review: I purchased this Appalachian 2 tent by Wandelen from Amazon as a lighter weight backpacking alternative to my trusty Kelty 2 person tent that Ive had and used countlesss times over the last 25 years. This tent is of similar design to my trusted regular, (and at 3 pounds lighter!), I thought Id take a chance on it. The price was so reasonable compared to others of similar design on the market, despite mixed reviews on amazon, from what I could tell overall, the odds seemed favorable. I was very pleased to receive it within a couple of days and found it well packaged. At my first attempt to erect it in my basement I found the directions simple, and intuitive by design. It set up easily in just a few minutes. I love that it includes its own perfectly sized ground cloth that ties in with the rest of the set up of the tent. It also includes a fantastic powerful little rechargeable lantern that weighs next to nothing. Maybe an ounce? The first weekend setting it up in the field on a short weekend camping trip which was a dry run for a planned upcoming backpacking adventure revealed a problem. After initial setup, when closing the rainfly the zipper split in the middle and the zipper itself came off of the zipper tape. That was a bit of a pain but we were able to improvise and adapt and were lucky that it didnt rain. Despite that set back and my disappointment that upon its first field trial there was a failure we made do and the rest of the tent had no issues at all. NOW BEFORE CONTINUING FURTHER WITH THIS REVIEW I MUST TELL YOU THIS; that after our camping trip I reported the problem with the rainfly zipper directly to Wandelen and within a day received an email saying how sorry they were for the failure and that they wanted to make things right for me as their customer by immediately sending me a replacement. Not just a new rainfly as I had requested, but an entirely NEW TENT!!! I cannot say enough good things about how I well I was treated by this company. The gentleman by the name of Jonathan who I was in contact with was so professional and courteous in multiple email correspondence. In this day and age it is refreshing to find a company with people who truly care abut their customers the way this company and its employees do. He told me they were express shipping me a new unit and it would arrive within two days which it did. Thank you Jonathan and Wandelen for being a company that backs up its product and cares about their customers as if they were family!! Now, back to the review: I was pleasantly surprised all around by the overall performance of the tent from the ample space there was for two people (I'm 5'9" and my wife is 5'8") and our sleeping matts, pillows, and some of our gear to the door zipper operation, the built in vent, and the fact that it has so much screen for star gazing. The tent is very well designed and you can tell it was designed for backpakers by backpackers. The only thing I would change about this tent is the amount of vestibule space available. It was not big enough for both of our backpacks. We could only just get one within it and with barely enough room to get past it if we had to get up in the night. Its really just meant for smaller items such as boots, or shoes. So be sure to pack a rain cover for your pack when using this tent. It would be great if in future iterations of this tent they could make the vestibule a bit longer to the front and with closer coverage to the ground. In any case I will defintely be using the new tent on future backpacking trips and will update when Ive tried out the new rainfly on the new tent! Thank you again Wandelen!! Well done! Customer service done right!

Title: Easy setup, good quality, easy to fit back into stuff sack
Review: The “stuff sac” the whole tent came in was great as it opens up wide, you plop everything in, then fold a flap over before cinching it up around a huge opening. No annoying “having to roll it just right” to get it back in. Getting this tent for some 2 person backpacking along with solo backpacking with my 70lb pitty. It should work perfectly, though for all 3 of us it would be tight but that’s because the pup insist on cinnamon rolling in the middle. Love how light it is, as a small woman it should be easy to fit in my pack for solo trips. Everything looks high quality, setup of the tent took about 10 minutes the first time. Looking forward to testing it out in the WMNF! Large husband for scale.Update: used this up near Baxter state park Maine in the rain, totally dry, worked great for me and my 70lb pitty

Title: Wandelen: first class support
Review: I purchase 2 of the Appalachian 2 tents for a 6 night Backpacking excursion in the rugged Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia with my son. When I first received the tents we setup both of them in my garage and I was pleased with the apparent quality of the tents and the ease of setup. I really like the extra ground cloth under the tent body. The packability of the tent is excellent. We used these tents on very hilly terrain and they performed very well. We had one night of very substantial rain falls and stayed completely dry. When setup properly these tents do a very good job of shedding water. I even left items under the awning and they stayed dry. On the last night we did have a failure with both tents. The tent pole connector wouldn’t hold the tent pole under tension and the other tent developed a rip in the corner of the tent body where the poles connect. When I returned on a Sunday I emailed Wandelen about the failure of their product. Surprisingly within 3 hours I had a response from Johnathan and within 4 days I received 2 new tents. I high recommend this company’s product. They back up their product and that is something not everyone does any more.

Title: Backpacking tent
Review: This is a great light weight backpacking tent3lbs. The cost to value was excellent! It was used in the rain, wind and lightening storm and held up without an issue. Super easy to put up and take down. The entry is a little small but doable. Ventilation was still good with rain fly in use

Title: Narrow space
Review: This goes together quickly and easily with 1 pole unit . It is an A frame tent with a wide base. The problem we had was the sides cut in so severely it lays across you as you sleep. The only real usable space is in the middle so not at all spacious even for a backpacking tent. My other BP tents are small but inside feel wider . It also is extremely musty smelling which is odd.

Title: Excellent product! Lightweight, easy to mount and unmount, high quality and affordable price
Review: I am amazed by this tent!I decided to unpackage immediately after I received it and try it out. First thing I noticed is that is it very lightweight and comparing the costs of other ultralight tents, this one is really affordable and exceeds my expectations weight vs cost.When I started to take out the tent out of its bag, I noticed that it was very easy and fast since its design with compression straps helps a lot to unpack and pack back-in compared to the stuffed bags version.I mounted the tent on my backyard and I didn’t need the help of anyone! I was able to mount it in less that 5 minutes without reading the instructions, which btw, it took me almost the same time to find it hahahaha… it is sown to the bag (instructions) 😊The materials at touch have a resistant and durable feeling, all the seams are double taped and the stakes and poles are solid. I used a rock to bury the stakes in the ground and they did not bend.Overall, I am impressed and very happy of my purchase, recommend 100% quality vs value and I hope the provider brings up more products! I forgot to mention that it includes a free lamp which is a nice touch. Highly recommended!!!

Review: Tent is small and lightweight which is perfect for backpacking. It also held up completely in a major thunderstorm that came in off Lake Superior! Not a single drop came through the tent!One slightly annoying thing was all the bugs flying in between the tent screen and the fly over top but this will only happen if you pitch your tent somewhere where the fly isn’t completely staked to the ground.

Review: Was not sure what to expect but the reviews were good so thought I would give it a go. Used on a DofE Expedition for 3 nights. It is great! It is very light. Folds up small. big enough inside (comfortable 1... would be "snug" for 2). Waterproof so far. Will probably buy some more as group kit.

Review: Con la seguente recensione andrò a mettere in mostra i pro e i contro in modo che l'utente riesca a capire se il prodotto possa fare o meno al caso suo. (Ovviamente questo è un mio parere personale. L'ho usata per una settimana di cammino in montagna)Pro:- Leggerezza.- Compatta.- Alta resistenza all'acqua.- Possibilità di montaggio anche senza la camera interna, lasciando solo il guscio e il sotto telo. (peso dimezzato)- Facilità di montaggio, grazie all'arco unico.- Picchetti in alluminio.- Involucro/sacca dell'intera tenda ultra compatto e leggero.- Facilità di chiusura ed inserimento nella borsa.Contro:- Catino molto sottile, facile rovinarlo o tagliarlo se il suolo non è perfetto.
