There's three kinds of products in the world, and here they are in order of quality from best to worst: 1) Designed in the west and manufactured in the west. 2) Designed in the west and manufactured in China. 3) Designed in China and manufactured in China. OneTigris is the third on that list...
It is more profitable for these kinds of companies to just invest in strategies of convincing you that they are caring or innovative rather than investing in actually caring or being innovative. You're just a mark to them.
I really hope this tent performs well, the design looks like it has every feature I could want, very well designed. EDIT: That lack of a fly is concerning....
@@casperchung1159 the way the poles work allows for more vertical walls. It should be quite a comfortable interior space.. if its not raining. Additionally, in the right climate, without the rainfly, the abundance of mesh panels will give a better than average ‘sleeping under the stars’ experience. Those are the things I notice which are different from the majority of tents out there. Not to say you CAN’T find other tents with those features..
Once he got to the point where he put the rain fly on I was waiting for him to add the part or pull down the part with the vestibule. I was kind of shocked that there isn’t one. This thing will leak like a sieve. When it rains and if the wind is blowing the right direction it will hit the mesh, go through and run down the panels that are inside of the tent. Seriously, this made it past their “testing”?
I'm wondering what all is involved with their testing? Do they use a garden hose and a high-powered fan to create wind if nature won't provide it, or did they set it up on a sunny day and call it good?
I think what we're seeing here is tent design by graphic artists, not backpackers … or even people who have ever been inside of a tent, let alone slept in one overnight, let alone relied on one to keep them alive on trail. Like the marketing department took a list of features they wanted to be able to put on the ad, then designed the tent themselves without consulting anyone who has used a tent for more than five seconds.
im pretty sure the cutting off of a whole half of the tent fly was sime kind of cost cutting measure, ridiculous when you consider how much it costs when you have sub 100 dollar tents with a full and often generous rain fly
I don't understand why the front of the tent, where the fly has been removed, is designed to be staked *out* from the rest of the tent. Won't that expose those centre seams to rainfall even more?
I agree with you about the fly. I've never been camping in the rain when the rain was falling straight down. Blowing wind will cause rain to get inside of the test like you suggested it might. And the Velcro enclosure instead of a zipper is a big mystery to me. Luke, thank you very much for your continued input on camping equipment.
My idea with One Tigris is that the designers are "book smart" that means to me that they don't actually camp in them! "But they look good, thats all they have to be"
I run in to a lot of book so called smart and they have no idea what they are doing or talking about. It would had been a great tent if Luke was on the design board or for sure had input on the new tent then my friends it would have been a number 1 seller
Because I know this channel is the real deal I find myself more entertained by the massive failures . In that regard this tent is a classic and deserves everything it’s got coming.
Oh man, this is odd. I can’t wait for the rain test. Edit: I usually think during these rain storm test it would be fun to hangout with Luke. But I think Luke should keep the truck cab close.
After watching your review, I would never trust this tent without packing a tarp. However, the inner by itself seems decent for fair weather stargazing.
Oh man, I was getting really interested as you were setting up the inner. Especially when the cross pole went in and you could see how spacious it was. My heart literally sank when you showed the installed rainfly haha. This tent has so much potential! But I just don't see how it could keep a storm out. Even without wind, the rain will most likely get in at the bottom corners of those inner panels or run around the fabric where it meets the mesh and drip inside. Strong winds will most likely push rain right into the tent, both at the velcro'd edges of the inner panels as well as around the tent inner to the mesh behind the fly. A proper vestibule on that side, even if it had a big gap to the ground, would have made this a solid design. I can't wait for your follow up episodes Luke. I really hope this tent is somehow waterproof lol.
In this same style of tent while writing. Rained and snowed on us. No leaks. Odd design, but works. Fits two adults with cots. Have not had any water leakage. Two rain storms. We have been camping once a month through out the winter with this tent as well. Held up fine at -15f wind chill. Being able to strap ground tarp to rain fly is hugh plus. 1 person can set up but less frustrating with two. Keep up the good honest reviews!
There is a lot of good design choices that makes this tent very desirable. However, with the possible big flaw of being a bathtub makes me wonder if I need to put a tarp over the big hole. It does seem like a big design flaw with the zippers not being water sealed and just a tiny bit of Velcro.
hey Luke. i just received my Scaena from OT and took it out in the rain. Leaked in multiple areas. just a weird design. You hit the nail on the head with this review
So the tent is actually more waterproof without the inner! I always work to the "keep it simple" method... the outer keeps the rain out so make it bigger than the inner.
Oh my oh my. They made a "fair weather tent". It might actually make a really nice tent/tarp combo tough.... Thanks for an interesting first look vid Luke!! great as always.
Loved your first thoughts on this tent and i think your right it will leak at some point , im not quite sure what they were thinking not having the flysheet cover the door also , cant wait to see the outcome
I'm really looking forward for the rain and wind tests for this tent. I know very little about these things but I would be surprised if it did not leak in some form. Thanks for your awesome videos, Luke! Greetings from Roger in Sweden!
I really want for this tent to perform well, but I don’t have high hopes after the set up review. I can’t see how this tent is going to not leak. Thank you for this vlog.
Luke, the One Tigris tent may be new, but in jungle monsoons, hot arid conditions, I've been happy with an OzTrail mozzie dome with a fly or tarp set up. The mozzie dome has 2 zips that meet in a corner, but OzTrail have a small flap of material covering the gap /hole. My whole up would cost only a fraction of the cost of the tent you're trying out. Remember the expensive gear isn't always the best. Good luck .
My favorite Mountain Hardwear tent had an interior zippered "wall" that covered almost the entire upper surface. It's been discontinued for over 10 years. Wild horses in Wyoming hooved the rain fly made it unusable. Got a great replacement from Mountain Hardwear but have had issue with the lack of interior zip up "rain fly". I've been woken up in the middle of the night with rain setting in and being able to zip up a protective layer until I got the rain fly put up was quite nice. I was happy (yet sad due to application) to see another interior "rainfly" used by someone.
I figured it out! This is a great fun tent for a couple to have a memorable adventure where they get rained on in their tents! (Assuming it will leak.) They can talk about how it was for years! LOL. Otherwise this tent is designed for people who don't stay in their campsite whenever they get rain. They just pack up and go home! Kind of typical if you ever camp at camp sites. When the weather gets rough the weekenders get going. Simple!
I also agree with randall... companies must take notice....we use these products. We spend our hard earned money on them ! Who better to get corrective coriticiszm from than you. You have tons of experience and it shows. Keep up the great work and videos. Love them all! God bless you and your family...
That open side is kinda funny. It's a decent idea, but the execution looks extremely iffy. I look forward to a heavy rain test. My prediction is that in light rain it'll be fine. Maybe even medium rain. Heavy blown rain will push through that semi-open center rib. High wind with even light rain will probably soak the inside.
That is gonna leak. The fly inside of the tent is, if nothing else, gonna capture water between the mesh panel and the back panel, assuming it does not leak into the tent.
Yep and then when you open them a giant account of water will come rushing out the door panels. And only if all that water hasn't already started pouring out from the middle of the panels.
I agree it’s quite astounding that there’s no external vestibule and fly. A redesigned fly would make this a viable proposition for sure! Good review Luke. Keen to see what (if any) water ingress occurs in rainy & windy conditions!
I agree with your assessment of the tent. I dont care for how it's made. Makes one wonder how much this company knows about tent making and weather conditions. Good that you test equipment and keep us informed. It will be interesting to see what happens when you test it out in windy rainy conditions.
They NEED a front vestibule, either an attachment to the fly or built in to the fly. I have a timberline and the separate front vestibule. Works. Love it. There are mods that you can do, like extend the fly farther to the ground. I recommend that you do that. Tape or seal those seam lines, as well. Jerry
I feel like most of these budget companies just make similar quality Chinese made products then change the tent shape and say it’s better. The bottom line is the waterproof rating. The AquaQuest Defender tarp is rated to 20Kmm waterproof. Just buy that, buy a big net and learn some configurations.
That front door not having a fly is super interesting! Even if it is waterproof I would think that the mesh would get wet and cause issues later down the road
That rent looks like a good design. It may be great with great weather. I would like to see it with a better zippered door and a full cover as well. But we will see what happens after your test.
You are right, I'd be worried too. No quality tent would not have a fly that fully covers the opening(s), to keep rain out. I'm guessing when they mean three seasons, they mean in the best possible weather. You would need an additional fly or tarp to keep out the water.
That would be a awesome tent if it had a vestibule over the door to protect it better, with a stove jack in the vestibule for a stove to make it a hot tent ! Then and only then would I pay $250 for it ! Ps I melt homemade fixing WaX in the seams of all my tents as soon as I buy them ! Thanks Luke 4 all you & Susan do !
excellent video. We have learned so much from you. Keep it going! Can't wait to see further testing of this tent..btw, if I went a head and bought this tent now, I would be sure to use a tarp to cover the fly less area. One of the first things I cleaned from use is to always bring a tarp or two!
I've tent camped since 1968 and had several layouts on different tents. Still have an old coleman cabin that doesn't leak. It gets wet where fabric stretched at the front door. This OneTigris tent would have been an awesome tent had they added a 2nd vestibule. But not this way. Note my old coleman besides having door and window panels inside also had exterior flaps and on real windy wet conditions were very nice to have. HOOKUP THE GARDEN HOSE AND SPRAY the Tigris. YOU WILL SEE HOW GOOD VELCRO WORKS. Maybe set it up underneath an 8 x 10 tarp to keep rain out.
Looks like another tent that could be excellent when used in conjunction with a tarp, but as a standalone product may be somewhat lacking. I'll be watching for the storm testing.
I really like the concept of this tent and wish they would have put more thought into rain proofing. I would never expect 100% protection in server condition, but in heavy rain and moderate to gust of high winds you need the tent to perform. I'm not like you testing myself in the extremes, but we have all been out when that chance of light rain has turned into a frog drowning down pour with colder than expected temps.
I LIKE the internal fly for the same reason you do - Air (and heat) control... But the outer fly on that side needs a vestibule. It surely does. Even just for cooking in intemperate weather.
Ive gotta say i can see it leaking but regardless of that front the overall colour and shape i like alot.If they put a propper front on it id be very tempted to buy one the quality looks very good. Love the channel and all the best to you and your better half mate 😊👍
I think it's is just dry weather tent, there is no way it will hold back on the rain. Sad they did not make the front fully covered. Great video by the way 😎👍
This makes me wonder what these tent manufacturers are thinking; it's almost like it's a joke or something. There's no way that design is going to work against water intrusion.
@@chalion8399 I agree. I suppose I may not have worded it correctly. I typically hammock camp but some situations are coming up to ground dwell. Main thing of interest to me was the amount of ventilation. I haven't come across anything near that level. I'm sure there might be other options but I haven't found one I like yet.
The lack of a fly on the door is crazy. Especially since you showed that the 2 zippers don't completely close together. In my mind, it is going to fail miserably. Keep up the great work sir.
It looks stylish that's for sure and size is great just worried about the front being exposed like that 😳 for my area in the Desert it be great as we don't get much rain but still . You never know with weather.
I was just on the one tigris site and it states " Do not use in extreme weather events". WTH One Tigris! I guess they don't want to sell many tents. The search continues..... I was hoping that this would be the one when I first saw it, darn glad I waited for Luke's review.
The OGR channel is thoroughly excellent. The unbiased reviews are truly refreshing in a dispoable, caveat emptor (buyer beware) world. Keep 'em coming. Hear the Words of Old
You must have a room full of camping gear at this point. I would love to see a video on a "pick the best" grab and run. Last second you hit the door for a three night backpacking trip in your area. You have a 1/2 hour to pack and be ready. The Fall weather will be cool 50/60's day 30/40's night. Good chance of rain one night. Picking the best you have out of all your gear. What do you pack up and why?
With OneTigris, I always have the feeling that I want their tents to succeed harder than they do.
For real, i really wanted to get their backwoods bungalow 2.0 but the reviews showing the leaks was a deal breaker for me
@@ArcticGator Yes, that is a shame. I bought the "backwood retreat" and it is awesome. Works great. But other producs at this point I cannot recommend
There's three kinds of products in the world, and here they are in order of quality from best to worst:
1) Designed in the west and manufactured in the west.
2) Designed in the west and manufactured in China.
3) Designed in China and manufactured in China.
OneTigris is the third on that list...
The Iron Wall and the Smokey Hut are pretty much the only 2 models which get positive reviews.
It is more profitable for these kinds of companies to just invest in strategies of convincing you that they are caring or innovative rather than investing in actually caring or being innovative. You're just a mark to them.
Where has plain and simple common sense gone in the design process of these tents?? Thanks for your completely honest reviews!!
I really hope this tent performs well, the design looks like it has every feature I could want, very well designed.
EDIT: That lack of a fly is concerning....
lol
Maybe should have been a vestabule🤔
At the very least, be on the look out for a less expensive Chinese version that has corrected the rainfly issue.
@@AJHart-eg1ys Wouldn't it just be a regular tent? This tent looks ordinary to me, aside from the fact that they took out the vestibule
@@casperchung1159 the way the poles work allows for more vertical walls. It should be quite a comfortable interior space.. if its not raining. Additionally, in the right climate, without the rainfly, the abundance of mesh panels will give a better than average ‘sleeping under the stars’ experience.

There doesn't even need to be wind. The front doors are staked OUT from the tent! Rain falling straight down with no wind will fall onto that mesh.
@@just_a_nother_Matt_on_UA-cam haha yes!
@@vitaflo Agreed. Very poor design.
That brings a whole new meaning to "bathtub floor"!

@@taterhater7419 Fair enough. I hadn't even looked at that aspect of it 😂
Don’t blame us graphic artists, this lays purely with marketing and their bullshit ideas 😉
I don't understand why the front of the tent, where the fly has been removed, is designed to be staked *out* from the rest of the tent. Won't that expose those centre seams to rainfall even more?
Spot on. Bushyboy Oz.
The tent needs a larger vestibule area and a redesigned zipper system. That I think would be spot on.
Yes, but it seems to provide a small slope for the rain to run off, as opposed to a flat sheet that doesn't direct the water or wind.
I agree with you about the fly. I've never been camping in the rain when the rain was falling straight down. Blowing wind will cause rain to get inside of the test like you suggested it might. And the Velcro enclosure instead of a zipper is a big mystery to me. Luke, thank you very much for your continued input on camping equipment.
On the positive side, a re-designed fly would let the other good features Luke mentioned take center stage instead.
Completely correct. Seems like they just wanted to be different. Will never understand why they didn’t make both door sides of the fly the same
Agreed.
It'll be fine.......in the desert. Great review
My idea with One Tigris is that the designers are "book smart" that means to me that they don't actually camp in them! "But they look good, thats all they have to be"

I feel so sorry for Luke. I don't see it going well. Hope he brings a military modular sleep system so at least he stays dry... Lol
After watching your review, I would never trust this tent without packing a tarp. However, the inner by itself seems decent for fair weather stargazing.
It's cheaper to buy a 2 person bug net if that is what you want
Sometimes I think one tigris is so focused on design and innovation they forgot practicality, but we’ll have to see how it holds up in your testing
Wow. I am so glad there are independent reviewers like you on youtube. Thanks.
Even though you drive me nuts sometimes, these really are the best outdoor gear reviews on You Tube. Thank you.

Thank you for all your hard work. Stay safe. Stay free
Thank you for your very thoughtful honest, in-depth reviews.
GREAT video! I really appreciate your honesty! Looking forward to the final tests! We appreciate you and your videos so...much! Thanks Luke!🥰
That "open" side is going to be the deal breaker for this tent.
Thank you Luke. You're keeping these companies on their toes....and providing all of us outdoor people with better products.... you rock man.
hey Luke. i just received my Scaena from OT and took it out in the rain. Leaked in multiple areas. just a weird design. You hit the nail on the head with this review
"a tent that isn't waterproof is practically useless." Exactly
So close... yet so far... they must extend the fly...looking forward to your tests!
So the tent is actually more waterproof without the inner!
I always work to the "keep it simple" method... the outer keeps the rain out so make it bigger than the inner.
Thanks Luke for all your information and what you give us.
Oh my oh my. They made a "fair weather tent". It might actually make a really nice tent/tarp combo tough.... Thanks for an interesting first look vid Luke!! great as always.
would that ground sheet stand the test of an improvised tarp I wonder? And how would the bare tent floor perform then?
Loved your first thoughts on this tent and i think your right it will leak at some point , im not quite sure what they were thinking not having the flysheet cover the door also , cant wait to see the outcome

Hi from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures on different items
Luke, these companies need to bring you on board as an engineer/tester. I know I certainly would😄

Hello 👋 Luke, thank you for sharing this informative review. I look forward to the
'rain test' review. Stay safe out there. 🤗
My first though was that you had the fly on backwards and the open side of it was supposed to correspond with the solid body wall side
Top marks to you Luke. Tigris needs to pay you a consultancy fee. it's clear they don't have a clue.
I also agree with randall... companies must take notice....we use these products. We spend our hard earned money on them ! Who better to get corrective coriticiszm from than you.

I think you might be right Luke. I think I'm very interested in seeing how it does in a storm. I'll be looking for your review. Strength and honor.
This is a really nice looking tent and looks like it has a lot of room, OneTigris should keep improving on this design.
That is gonna leak. The fly inside of the tent is, if nothing else, gonna capture water between the mesh panel and the back panel, assuming it does not leak into the tent.
Yep and then when you open them a giant account of water will come rushing out the door panels. And only if all that water hasn't already started pouring out from the middle of the panels.

🤣🤣🤣

I believe Luke, it's time for you to design and put your own tent out on the market.
Luke I would throw a very large tarp over the tent which will fix the problem with the door leaking and safety concerns
It doesn't leak. At all. GREAT tent!!
That front door not having a fly is super interesting! Even if it is waterproof I would think that the mesh would get wet and cause issues later down the road

Gotta love those USMC Diamond brand 1 and 2 man tents!😁
Looking forward to the follow up on this Luke. I like the look but if it leaks then in my book it's a no go.
We'll certainly see how it goes in rain. Though, as an Arizona native, I like the extreme ventilation.

The improved combat shelter has internal fly on its large mesh doors and mine has never leaked but then again they are not out in the open so much.
I think it's is just dry weather tent, there is no way it will hold back on the rain. Sad they did not make the front fully covered. Great video by the way 😎👍
Well luke, it looks like they tried, but I agree with you. Thanks for the video.
This makes me wonder what these tent manufacturers are thinking; it's almost like it's a joke or something. There's no way that design is going to work against water intrusion.
What great ventilation. I'm definitely going to wait and see. It might be worth ditching the fly and setting up under a tarp.
Understandable, but then why have a fly at all? I carry several tarps because, myself, I like to keep weather off my camp and tent or hammock.
@@chalion8399 I agree. I suppose I may not have worded it correctly. I typically hammock camp but some situations are coming up to ground dwell. Main thing of interest to me was the amount of ventilation. I haven't come across anything near that level. I'm sure there might be other options but I haven't found one I like yet.
@@bsfcc04 Yeah, my Close2nature 2p tent isn't in the same league as this (1/3 the price), but with a good tarp, it has excellent ventilation.
To me this looks like a good tent for someone on insta who uses tents but doesnt use them as shelter.
The lack of a fly on the door is crazy. Especially since you showed that the 2 zippers don't completely close together. In my mind, it is going to fail miserably.
Keep up the great work sir.
Mind blown also . Looks and sounds good APART from the absent fly sheet . Whoever ok'd the design of this needs a check up .
Iv'e slept in a handfull of tents and when you showed this I was like no this is basics! no on more levels than one
I can not thank you enough so glad I watch your channel 😊 I would have made a huge mistake
It looks stylish that's for sure and size is great just worried about the front being exposed like that 😳 for my area in the Desert it be great as we don't get much rain but still . You never know with weather.
Luke, your disappointment was palpable. While you were perplexed, I was like wtf?
I was just on the one tigris site and it states " Do not use in extreme weather events". WTH One Tigris! I guess they don't want to sell many tents. The search continues..... I was hoping that this would be the one when I first saw it, darn glad I waited for Luke's review.
Loved the looks of the new tent but no rain fly over the front is a concern. Probably be out of my price range for a senior.
The OGR channel is thoroughly excellent. The unbiased reviews are truly refreshing in a dispoable, caveat emptor (buyer beware) world. Keep 'em coming. Hear the Words of Old
Well, I could be wrong as well Luke, but I am with you. Looks like this tent will fail in adverse rainy conditions.
I was loving everything about this tent UNTIL the rainfly missing one side. A vestibule would've been a home run feature.
You must have a room full of camping gear at this point. I would love to see a video on a "pick the best" grab and run.
Last second you hit the door for a three night backpacking trip in your area. You have a 1/2 hour to pack and be ready.
The Fall weather will be cool 50/60's day 30/40's night. Good chance of rain one night.
Picking the best you have out of all your gear. What do you pack up and why?
Without you Luke they would just keep making the old tent so ty for your time and effort 💯👍🏕
Thanks for the great info.
