Hey! I had a question I am looking at the lanshan 2 pro but i think the normal lanshan may be better for me because I am 5,11 do you have any suggestions!? I am also considering dropping a bunch more money to get and ultra light free standing tent because I am worried that I may go on a hike and the ground will be too hard, but do you think that idea is crazy?
@@greendayscoolgreendayscool7563 Hello. Both are excellent tents. The pro is larger single wall & definitely need to seam seal it. Ther is condensation at times. I love the ten though. The regular is smaller double wall. It’s super sturdy & mine is ingress shape after three years of hard use. Go to my video pro vrs rgluar & the best reliable links are at the bottom of the video. Please subscribed to my channel
Thanks for making this video...I made the switch to hammock camping but I've tentatively got a big trip out west next year that I'll need a tent for. The duplex would be my choice if price weren't a factor but my Big Agnes Cooper Spur UL3 is just too heavy for what I've got in mind. I'm going to look hard at the Pro version...this video was extremely helpful at pointing out the differences. Enjoyed watching!
The Lanshan 2 Pro looks like a great tent. I am using an older style Lanshan 1 currently. Got me thinking of the Lanshan 2 pro in brown really hard. Just have to convince the wife. Thanks. God bless.
Nice comparison video. Nice tip with the clothes line clip. I don’t think that bug bivy is feasible for an adult. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
Hey !! Great review :) Just wondering which tent was better for condensation ? on windy nights did wind blow up though the condensation mesh? Thanks so much !!
I saw this on FACEBOOK and I've never watched this one! I'm getting one of these soon for when my hammock won't suffice! I haven't decided which one yet but this was great timing Tom!
Restless Wonderer 👍👍 Yes it’s annoying. I’m excited about using this pro version. The extra length & width makes a world of difference. Appreciate the comment.
Ordered a 2 Pro last week. After checking tracking info it was already here in the states and is now at the local distribution center so should have it to check out in a couple of days. Thanks for the comparison of the two. I’m looking forward to getting out on trail with this thing.
I would rather order from 3F UL Gear directly. I had a very negative experience with JY Equipment Store. They charged me VAT prepaid, but didn't mention it in the customs documents. Upon entry in Norway I had to pay it again and..... JY Equipment refused to give me a refund for the prepaid VAT.
Hi Tom, GREAT review! I like my Lanshan 2 , the older version. We are exactly the same height and I recall a couple years ago I asked you about the length of the tent if I would fit inside of it. You gave me some great advise then and I am sure that your new tent will work well for you. I like that it is about a foot longer etc. etc. etc. Hope you get to use that tent soon. The only thing is....is that now that I have seen the longer version of this tent I want one already when my older version still works perfectly well. See how you are Tom? You're making me spend money for new cool gear. Ha Ha Ha. Just kidding. It's a great tent! Enjoy it!....Bart
Thanks for the review. I have found the same with aliexpress if you ask for faster shipping sometimes it works. I dont do it all the time as sometimes I can wait.
Would be curious to know how you think the Lanshans compare with the Backbone? I recently got a 2p backbone and I'm happy with it, but I have been looking at potentially lighter weight options that don't cost an arm and a leg. From what I gather online the Lanshan 2 is a biy smaller than the Backbone in terms of inner width, but the pro is basically on par without the tapered end.
Hello! I do like the pro a lot. It’s a bit lighter but not that much. I think it’s an easier setup. But, I like the Backbone 2p High bathtub & large pockets. Not sure that helps. I usually switch back & forth. Long multiple nights i’d go lighter with the pro. 👍👍
Yea I guess it all depends on the trip. The pockets were a huge deciding factor for me on the Backbone. Not sure why other manufacturers skimp on that detail
Great video, UK based here, had the lanshan 2 for 2 years now and very impressed with it. Impressed with the lanshan 2 Pro aswel. I think that could be the next purchase. Gave video a 👍 and subscribed to you. Found your channel from "backpacking with jason" Look forward to seeing future videos. Stay safe ATB Dave 👍
While the lanshan pro is longer it really needs to be because the fly gets drenched ...I'll never entertain a single skin tent again in UK... I hate soaked interior and damp kit..
I love those mini groundhog stakes. I’ve never used a Lanshan before. There really popular. Looks like a whole lot more headroom when your sleeping. Feel like your in a coffin 😂. I don’t like those either. Cool video my friend 👍
Leapin lizards! We all bought the same color! 😂 They say "Great minds think alike"... 😄 When I got this, I immediately thought that this was the size tent for you! Great review of both tents! I absolutely love the beginning of this video too. Beautiful footage of some unique critters! I've never seen several of them. I can't believe you got that Lanshan in 8 days- blows my mind. Oooh, that is a tiny bivy. ⚰ Great video! #lanshanclan 👊
Thanks IceBear. Yes I had to get the tent. Got to keep up with the rest of the tramily. Yes there are a ton of critters down here in Florida many people do not know exist. I see you out on the trail again with sweeps. Cool. Hope to see everyone again soon.
Review? You mean preview. Right out of the box is useless to others. Use it, test it, take some time with it. Only then you can say something meaningfull
Nice review Tom. You made me laugh trying out that coffin. Bugs bother me too but I've had my pro out 1 time and was slapping bugs off the tent all evening. Might be the smell since the tent was new but at least they not between the mesh.
@@halabujioutdoors I do, but I didn't get to it yet. I still had a problem with bugs after treating with Permethrin on the yellow Lanshan 2. My new gray one doesn't attract as many bugs.
With everything you just said noted already, is the lanshan 2 still worth purchasing now that it will be cheaper? I'm only 5'8" and it seemed like the only real problems you had were height based
Hello Justin. Absolutely it’s still the best deal out there. The tent will last you a long time & no problem with your height. The AliExpress link in my videos is a very reliable place to purchase. Good luck. 👍
I don't use trekking poles to hike & have no intention of buying them just to erect this tent. Add the poles to the overall weight to get a fair comparison with other similar tents.
What are other similar tents at this price? Don’t use trekking poles? But the 48” carbon fiber folding ultra light tent poles. Zpack duplex ones work great. 👍
@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD I am hiking 650 miles over 35 days next May & am looking at a tent for the job. I love the weight of the Lanshan but doubt its durability & build. There's plenty out there at a similar price point. I believe the Vango Banshee Pro 200, Naturehike Cloud Up2 & Wild Country Helm 1 Compact to be better tents for a multi pitch hike.
711honved Sounds good. You should go with what you feel comfortable with. I know 3 AT thru hikers that used the regular Lanshan 2 the whole trip. I personally have about 1500 miles on one. Worked great on my JMT hike. Not familiar with those other tents nor seen many reviews on them. Thanks
Hey from Sweden! Love the video. I have the regular Lanshan 2 and the extra length to keep the tent wall off my feet and/or head at night seemed like a good enough reason to upgrade. That was the only problem I encountered with condensation while hiking on Iceland with the regular one. Was using an Exped pad, seemed to be the same thickness as yours and I'm only 5'9 so the Pro is looking promising. :) I know this is an older video by now, but for us across the Atlantic I'd love to see some grams on screen when you're talking about the weight of things! Keep it up and thanks! :D
@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD it's a problem with all single wall tents I suppose. Here in the UK the air is often cold and humid so personally I prefer double skin. Might just get myself the lanshan 2 😁
Wandering Wiley Thanks. Pro is a great tent. That company for AliExpress in my video really came through quick from China. I think I put a link to them in that video. Good Luck!👍
So the lanshan pro is a single wall and the Lanshan 2 is a double wall.. So basically the Lanshan pro is just a Zpac Duplex made of 20D silnylon instead of CubanFiber
Great comparison! I think I could enjoy the flexibility of the regular Lanshan 2 over the Pro, yetI'm 6.2 as you are. Does the Pro make a noteworthy difference in terms of condensation drip if you're a tall person?
Matt McDonough Hello. Thanks. I’ve had it out but the couple night were not real conducive for condensation. I know there will be some as most single wall tents are. I can live with that with the extra space this tent offers. I do like it. Hopefully you will subscribe to my channel for future updates. 👍
Hi! Great video! Will be sure to order this from JY with DHL. 8 days is so quick. Just have a question that I hope you can answer - with the grey version, is it quite see through or is it ok? And what about if you are in the tent with say a light at night? Can you see through from the outside? Thanks in advance!
Hello Thanks. No you cannot see through it. Even with a light on inside. Just seam seal it when you get it. I posted a video on that. Great tent. Good luck
Hello. I’ve spent many of cold nights in them. No tent is warm. You can close up the vestibule to block wind but should keep some air flow to reduce condensation. Great Tent!! Thanks 👍👍
Hello! Thank you for your video, it was very helpful for identifying the differences in the tent models. I was wondering if you have had any chance to further test the lanshan 2 pro since you published this video, and if so, have you developed a preference between the two and why?
Hello Thanks. Yes I have used the Pro a few times since. I prefer it. However it has to be seam sealed (I have a video on that). Since it’s single wall, there can be condensation. It’s larger & easier to set up & lighter. Both tents are really good. If I had to pick only one, it would be the regular Lanshan 2. Hope this helps & please subscribe to the channel. Good luck. 👍
The Lanshan 2 pro is a hair over 2 lbs. It is very similar & even lighter than most Free standing tents that are Sil Nylon. However the expensive Dyneema tents (zpacks) are much lighter at a high price. Weather it’s the regular or pro Lanshan 2, they are extremely light tents. 👍✌️
FOLLOWING WALKERS WORLD yeah I’ve been seeing more and more companies using the Dyneema. Tarp Tents have most of their lines with that option and they’re all over $500
Bro, thank you for this comparison. But I really don't understand how the Lashan Pro solved the "bug between net and tent" problem. Would you please care to elaborate? I cannot find clear images on this...
Oh, I looked at another video... I guess they removed the net? So you are sleeping straight under the Nylon bit? Doesn't it make it colder? I guess you can't buy the 4-season version, like you can with regular Lashan, is that right? Would so appreciate if you could clarify this. I love my Lashan and might add some upgrades to it. ;)
@@millanferende6723 Just a little clarification, I learned this in another youtube video: the tent does nothing to keep you warm besides keeping you dry and blocking the wind. It's insulation is negligible. What separates 3 and 4 season tents is their durability, namely the strength of wind they can endure and the amount of snowfall they can take without collapsing. Hope that helps some!
I usually find that 125 cm or between 48 to 50 inches is a good height. All depends on how high you feel comfortable with. But those heights work for me. 👍👍
Great review, thanks for putting this info out there. 2 questions. About 6 months on, and a good way into the winter. How does the 2pro do in the winter? Worried about a single wall in the cold. Also, is there any type of 4 season add on to the pro as there is with the Lanshan 2 original?
Hello Dan, Well I have had some condensation issues off and on. I really think it’s where you camp. Stream, lake etc. I was out for a few extreme cold nights with no condensation. Like with any single wall, it’s a crap shoot. As for a winter insert for the pro, I have not heard of one. Thanks for watching & hit that subscribe because I will be updating info on this tent. 👍👍✌️
When ordering L2 Pro, you have to choose either 3 or 4 season and this is not possible to change later as its integrated part of the tent and not a separate piece.
John, if your going to get one tent, go for the Lanshan 2 regular. It’s been great for me for over 2 years. I have a link in my Lanshan 2 vrs Lanshan pro that seems to be the most reliable one. 👍
That Bug bivy was probably designed for dem Chinese fellas.... 😂 I don't think there will be a condensation problem at all the lanshan 2 already being so well ventilated at the vestibule ends... ATB Dave Mc
Interesting video! As a tall person (191 cm, a good 6'3) I'm looking for a light weight tent and interested in the Lanshan 2 pro. I'm also a side sleeper and have the Big Agness insulated Q core matress, which is 10cm (height). Do you think this will still fit in the Lanshan 2 pro without touching the outer wall?
Great comparison and thanks for sharing. I was wondering what those factory knot for. Can you tell me the location and distance of the factory knots in the guide lines, I untie them by mistake.
The most important ones are the two opening guidelines. I would have to measure when I have tent up again. I guess just play around with them so you can adjust the tension between the two trekking poles.

AS THE CROW FLIES HIKING Thanks. I heard about the Land between the lakes trip. 13 Hour drive for me. A bit far.

Advice, very light breathable bivvy bag, pull it up to hip/waist level stops your sleeping bag hitting any part of the tent with condensation.

what length do you set your trekking poles at? or pole lengths
Sorry, I've another question. How does the tent perform in high winds? And how deep is the bathtub? Will it get wet on a stormy night with wind gusts?
As long as it’s staked down properly it handles wind well & stays dry. When pitched correctly the bathtub floor is approximately 6 inches high. 👍
@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD You're the best. Thank you for taking the time to reply!!

Yes! Go to that link in one of my Lanshan pro videos. Reliable place to buy it. 👍
do you use a footprint with your tents? thanks for the awesome video!

@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD thank you Sir and you're welcome
Great review but I wouldn't trust that mesh to shed all the condensation away from the inner though.

@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD it's a problem with all single wall tents I suppose. Here in the UK the air is often cold and humid so personally I prefer double skin. Might just get myself the lanshan 2 😁

Wandering Wiley Thanks. Pro is a great tent. That company for AliExpress in my video really came through quick from China. I think I put a link to them in that video. Good Luck!👍
I wonder, could you fit two 25" Thermarest pads in the pro? Would they fit top-and-tail? Or do you not own any 25" pads to test it with?
The bathtub floor is around 48 inches so they would be squished together. Very tight.
Is the Lanshan 2 regular a double wall tent and the Lanshan 2 Pro a single wall tent, I'm a little confused. Thank you!
Yes the regular is double wall & Pro single wall. 👍
So the lanshan pro is a single wall and the Lanshan 2 is a double wall.. So basically the Lanshan pro is just a Zpac Duplex made of 20D silnylon instead of CubanFiber
Yes, but with a few other differences. Example is a half moon mesh door opening on the duplex & a quarter one on the pro. 👍
Great comparison! I think I could enjoy the flexibility of the regular Lanshan 2 over the Pro, yetI'm 6.2 as you are. Does the Pro make a noteworthy difference in terms of condensation drip if you're a tall person?
No. Some but not a lot. I actually prefer the pro! 👍
So on the pro tent its a 1 piecer ? Cant tke the top off and just mesch tent it ?
No that would not work

Oh, I looked at another video... I guess they removed the net? So you are sleeping straight under the Nylon bit? Doesn't it make it colder? I guess you can't buy the 4-season version, like you can with regular Lashan, is that right?
Would so appreciate if you could clarify this. I love my Lashan and might add some upgrades to it. ;)
@@millanferende6723 Just a little clarification, I learned this in another youtube video: the tent does nothing to keep you warm besides keeping you dry and blocking the wind. It's insulation is negligible. What separates 3 and 4 season tents is their durability, namely the strength of wind they can endure and the amount of snowfall they can take without collapsing. Hope that helps some!
The pro is single wall! The regular is double wall. So in the regular bugs fly between the netting & the tent.
What's a good height for the tent poles for the pro 2 ?
I usually find that 125 cm or between 48 to 50 inches is a good height. All depends on how high you feel comfortable with. But those heights work for me. 👍👍
hi, whats the difference between the 3 and 4 season version?
4 includes cold winter months 👍
The 3 season inner tent is mostly mesh, the 4 season inner tent walls are mostly nylon instead (with a few mesh vents at the top)
I got something off ali express and is arrived. I got something else after off ali express and is not arrived.
Yes they are not consistent
Great review, thanks for putting this info out there. 2 questions. About 6 months on, and a good way into the winter. How does the 2pro do in the winter? Worried about a single wall in the cold.
Also, is there any type of 4 season add on to the pro as there is with the Lanshan 2 original?
Hello Dan, Well I have had some condensation issues off and on. I really think it’s where you camp. Stream, lake etc. I was out for a few extreme cold nights with no condensation. Like with any single wall, it’s a crap shoot. As for a winter insert for the pro, I have not heard of one. Thanks for watching & hit that subscribe because I will be updating info on this tent. 👍👍✌️
When ordering L2 Pro, you have to choose either 3 or 4 season and this is not possible to change later as its integrated part of the tent and not a separate piece.
The pro is 3 season only. The LS 2 regular can be switched out to either 3 or 4 season.👍
@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD You can choose 3 or 4 season when ordering a L2 Pro.

great video!!
Thank you!!
I don't have either tent, but interested. Which would you order if you only bought one?
John Hayes Is probably go with the Lanshan 2 regular. Unless your taller than 6’2” then I’d go with the pro.
@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD thank you for the fast response I am 5' 11" so you like the double wall better then single just curious
John, if your going to get one tent, go for the Lanshan 2 regular. It’s been great for me for over 2 years. I have a link in my Lanshan 2 vrs Lanshan pro that seems to be the most reliable one. 👍
@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD thank you have a great day
What’s the music at the start? 😀
Just from UA-cam audio library
That Bug bivy was probably designed for dem Chinese fellas.... 😂 I don't think there will be a condensation problem at all the lanshan 2 already being so well ventilated at the vestibule ends... ATB Dave Mc
Interesting video! As a tall person (191 cm, a good 6'3) I'm looking for a light weight tent and interested in the Lanshan 2 pro. I'm also a side sleeper and have the Big Agness insulated Q core matress, which is 10cm (height). Do you think this will still fit in the Lanshan 2 pro without touching the outer wall?
Yes that should fit with no problem.
Mine came only with 7 specs
Are both double walled?
No the Pro is single wall & is subject to some condensation
Pro is single walled. 👍
Great comparison and thanks for sharing. I was wondering what those factory knot for. Can you tell me the location and distance of the factory knots in the guide lines, I untie them by mistake.
The most important ones are the two opening guidelines. I would have to measure when I have tent up again. I guess just play around with them so you can adjust the tension between the two trekking poles.
