Clostnature Lightweight Backpacking Tent (4-Person) with PU 5000 Waterproof Rain Fly and Freestanding Setup
Product description
If you’re shopping for a lightweight camping tent that still feels roomy once you’re inside, the Clostnature Lightweight Backpacking Tent is built around that tradeoff: more interior space for family camping, while keeping the pack weight moving in the right direction.
That said, it’s not a “do everything perfectly” tent. It’s designed for 3-season use and for people who want fast setup and weather protection without hauling a heavy shelter.
The essentials
This is a freestanding backpacking tent made with polyester, including a rain fly and a groundsheet/bathtub design. The floor size is listed as 7'3'' x 7'8'' (220x235 cm), with a center height of 4'7'' (140 cm), which is exactly the kind of clearance that makes longer stays feel less cramped. The model is described as a 4-person tent with large vestibules on both sides—useful for storing gear (and the listing specifically calls out a dog as well).
Key features that matter in the field
On paper, the waterproofing approach looks practical: a polyester rain fly and groundsheet/bathtub with a PU 5000 coating, plus factory-sealed seams intended to keep water out in bad weather. The “big deal” here is not just that it’s waterproof—it’s the combination of coverage and sealed construction, which tends to reduce the common problem of water getting in through stitching points.
Ventilation is handled with full mesh walls, and the structure includes reinforced pole support with X-shaped cross-braces for wind resistance in gusts. Two D-shaped doors with adjustable guy lines make entry and exit easier than a single-door setup, and the dual vestibules add more sheltered storage so the tent floor stays for sleeping.
One realistic limitation to keep in mind: more mesh and a more breathable layout can be a mixed bag depending on conditions. If you’re expecting very cold snaps or heavy wind-driven weather, you’ll still want to pay attention to proper guying and staking for stability.
What you’ll notice day to day
Setup is positioned as “easy” with a freestanding design and two lightweight aluminum poles. The goal is that you can pitch it without wrestling with a complicated system—helpful if you’re loading up after a hike, or if you’re setting up with kids and trying to move quickly.
A concrete example: imagine arriving on a family weekend hike after you’ve already carried your daypack. You unload, unfold the tent, connect the poles, and pitch. Then you can use the vestibules to stash wet shoes or gear while you get everyone settled inside with the extra headroom.
Also, the listing breaks down weight two ways: 7.38 lbs (3.35 kg) total, and 6.54 lbs (2.97 kg) at minimum trail weight (fly, inner tent, poles only). That’s the kind of detail that matters if you bikepack, hike longer distances, or want to keep the pack lighter.

Where it shines—and where it may not
This is a solid fit if you want a relatively roomy family tent with breathable mesh, dual-vestibule storage, and a waterproof setup that uses a PU 5000 rain fly and bathtub-style ground coverage. It’s also the kind of shelter that makes sense for weekend hiking, scouting trips, and outdoor outings where you care about cutting pack weight without going ultra-tiny.
It might not suit you if you’re expecting a one-and-done solution for extreme weather or if you prefer a more “rugged for everything” tent system. Based on the listing’s 3-season framing, the tent is aimed more at comfortable shoulder-season camping than year-round harsh conditions.
Should you buy it?
Buy it if you’re aiming for a lightweight 3-season tent that’s designed to be easy to set up, keeps gear organized with dual vestibules, and uses sealed, coated waterproof materials for rain protection.
Skip it if your priority is maximum cold-weather performance or if you tend to camp in conditions where you need a highly specialized shelter beyond 3-season use. In those cases, you may want to look at tents built around colder climates and more demanding storm resistance.
It also helps to check the full package contents before you plan your next trip: the listing includes stakes, ropes, poles, a carry bag, and a pole emergency repair kit—useful if you’re trying to stay self-sufficient.
