- In this video I review the Night Cat ZP-34 4 season backpacking tent.
Wow this tent blew me away not only for value for money but also in build quality and I can't wait to take it out into the Scottish Highlands and put it through its paces

Spring of Deception by Density and Time
I have owned one of these for a while now, and for the price, it can't really be faulted. I actually saw Night Cat selling them for £69.00 a few weeks ago.
Being picky. I would say that the inner tub is a bit low, and the outer doesn't go down low enough. The outer door tie back strap, could do with being higher, but looking at your tent, they might have addressed that issue. My final possible concern is the durability of the plastic clip at the fly to pole position. I suspect that it will fail over time, although I am not too concerned about it, as a small cable tie or piece of para cord would suffice. To end though, I would certainly recommend this tent to anyone starting out, and I actually take it out over some of my more expensive tents. It is also a true two person tent.
I see what you mean, I'm really looking forward to getting out into the hills to put it through its paces 🏔
You should wrap the guy lines around the poles on the outside when you tie is out. This is not a 4-season tent ..regardless of what Nitecat says. Four-season tents have much more fabric.....this tent is all mesh....so hence 3-season.
I did think that about the guy lines. I'm looking forward to trying it out in all seasons but mainly the three 🏕
Good review, thank you. This was on my shortlist for my first tent to go wild camping on Dartmoor. I've been researching tents forever it seems but I've just ordered one of these!
I absolutely love it. It has some really clever ideas and a huge amount of room 👌
@@Macoutdoors361 Tested it out in the back garden last night. The inner was as tight as a drum inside and bone dry after a night of claggy mist. I've never assembled a "serious" tent like this and was amazed at how easy it was to put up and take down, seriously impressed.
Next stop Dartmoor!
@BoxTunnel it's so good. The guy line holders are great and just wrap them round ymthe poles for more strength. The last trip had heavy rain all night and there was no dampness at all.
Top tip Mac. Don
't be blown away by a tent 😉
Great review/ location always enjoy your films thank you
Thanks, Glencoe is just stunning 🏔⛺️
@@Macoutdoors361 it is. I remember staying at the squirrel campsite many moons ago
@raspberrytreacle I love that campsite, walking distance to the Clachaig Inn.
Thank you William, it looks a great tent. I'm definitely going to get one, stay safe 😊
It's a great tent and has so much room 😀
That tent looks fabulous !! Looks so easy to put up even an amateur like me could do it 😊
It's such a good tent. It was really windy at times during the day I shot the video and it was just solid. Definitely worth a look 👌
@@Macoutdoors361 The products look good , Glencoe is the perfect testing ground for any tent ⛺ looks roomy and I love it opens from both sides .
@Andshesawandering It's also the fact that you can remove the inner and just have it as a shelter 🙏
Just got my daughter an alpkit viso 2.great tent but for my other daughter who's not sure about camping i,ll get this one.we hope to have fair weather camping so the night cat ticks the box.cheers mate for a great review and wonderful scenery.
It's a brilliant tent. I hope you all enjoy your camping trips ⛺️
nice product but imho a 3season tent
I'm going to be taking it out on a few trips to try it out in various conditions to see how it copes.
Never seen a 4 season tent with a full mesh inner before. Maybe okay for the South of Spain…..
Beautiful view
A stunning area ⛰️
Thank you for this reveiw i think on what ive seen and having many tent failures this is what i'm looking for for the motorbike. Not to heavy or expensive and lots of options.
Looks great William. That tent inner mesh even looks like it might keep the midges out. Hope you have some good trips planned!
Thanks Ali, I'm hoping to do a multi day trip during the summer ☀️
looks like a pretty good tent William and for once you are showing a product that does not cost an absolute fortune!!🤭 Good stuff pal
Thanks, I hope you could tell how impressed I was 🙏⛺️
Beautiful location to film 👍
It was stunning 🏔⛺️
Looks very much like my old Teton tent. Easy set up and roomy.
I was well impressed with it and can't wait to go on some adventures with it 😀
I doubt it will cope with the top of a Munro in winter unless the wind is very low. Looks a decent D of E group tent . I've got one and have had it up but not reviewed it yet 👍
I agree, I'm so impressed with it and have used it many times and just love how easy it is to put up and it has a few clever deign features. I have used it in heavy rain and wind and it coped well. Let me know how you get on with it.
I use the snugpack 3 and the bunker. True 4 season tents. And as
@stbyrd2000 said
this is not a 4 season tent. But good video and instructions though.
I agree, I tend to bivvy bag all through the winter but use the Robens Starlight 2 for summit camping in the Munros. I gave used the tent in heavy rain and strong winds and it has stood up to it ok but more a 2-3 season tent ⛺️
Irs a bit too much mesh to be a 4th season tent in my honest opinion. It isnt close enough to the floor either. That said i bet it's sturdy enough.
The material that attaches to the guys should be wrapped around the poles to give extra support and rigidity.
It looks a fantastic tent for wind resistance but snow loading might be a concern and wind getting underneath may be too much for it to be a true 4th season shelter.
I was thinking about the guy material round the poles. I'm very impressed with the tent and agree about the tent not going all the way to the bottom but for me that would be ok as I tent to sleep in a bivvy vag out in the open. The fact that you can make it into just a shelter is perfect for most of my trips. I'm looking forward to getting some time to do a few trips in it and put it through its paces. Happy camping ⛺️
I can't tell; can you leave the outer off for just a mesh tent?
Not sure but I will check for you.
Is the inner mesh fabric?
I'm not sure what it's made from, it's the same as all my other tents.
Where did u get foot print from did it come with tent
No it didn't. It's the OneTigris waterproof sheet which I use for all my tents.
Could you tell me what footprint you used for the tent please
I should have mentioned that the tent didn't have one. I use the OneTigris waterproof groundsheet for all my tents and got it from Amazon.
Great review , Really interested In this tent , looking on amazon and there is a lightweight alternative choice ? apart from the weight does anyone know the difference ?
Hi Neil, it's a brilliant tent and I saw that option on Amazon as well. I'm not sure what the difference is but I will try and find out for you
@Macoutdoors361 Cheers buddy , they look the same and the lower weight would be good as long as the quality doesn't suffer. Can't find much info on it ...
To be honest though for the odd night away the regular version gets such good reviews I would be happy with that one...
@@NeilHorner I have been on a few trips with it and just can't get over how good it is.
I also have this tent, there is no way they should be advertising it as 4 season.
However, for the money it is very good. Just don’t use it in winter….or heavy rain.
That's great advice, thank you. I was in a valley in Glencoe and it seemed solid in the high winds but I'm looking forward to getting out in it to try it out in various conditions. What tent do you use for winter if you don't mind me asking?
@@Macoutdoors361 I don’t currently own a genuine 4 season tent. If the forecast isn’t too cold I use the OEX phoxx 1 but when the temperature drops I use my hammock
I love hammock or bivvy camping, you feel more at one with the environment ⛰️
Mine has been no problem in some fairly heavy rain? Not a 4 season tent though...Also have their Lay Flat Hammock.....
(some bloody heavy thunderstorms last w/e )
@lauriebloggs8391 the lay flat hammock looks amazing 😁
This is NOT a 'four season' tent by any stretch of the imagination! Please stop pretending this product is anything else, or anything particularly special. Clearly we're not learning after NortentVern1Gate!!
You have your opinion which you are entitled to. I was very impressed with the tent for the money with some clever design features that I liked a lot. Happy camping 🏕
@@Macoutdoors361Thank you sir, that's how you reply to a rude comment!
We are in deed entitled to our own opinions, but should always respectfully give them away. Sleeping under a trap only in harsh winter temps "is not a 4 season shelter" for me, yet some love to do it. It all goes to the sturdiness and resistance of the shelter.
I understand the excitement of this tent as I own one as well and I really love it. It's very sturdy, roomy for 2 ppl and so easy and speedy to pitch/unpitch and the inner is always dry while doing it under heavy rain.
Cheers & thanks for the video 😊
I have used it last week and the size is amazing and as you say it's so easy to set up. Looking forward to many more adventures in it. 👍
What footprint are you using?
I should have said in the video. I use the OneTigris waterproof footprint for all my tents ⛺️
@Macoutdoors361 Cheers pal. Thanks for the response. I've recently bought the same tent but haven't been able to get out with it yet. These videos are a great help. 👍
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have 🙏
