I simply don't believe it!
Years have passed since I have reviewed anything from this company and that changes today; in this episode I am taking a fresh look at the Teton Sports Mountain Ultra tent and I'm blown away!

TETON SPORTS MOUNTAIN ULTRA 1 PERSON TENT
What it is : This is a 3 season 1 person tent from the company known as Teton Sports. This is a budget friendly shelter that I have high hopes that I can ultimately recommend.
Before I can, I need to take a close look at the shelter and then test it out. Coming soon!
Back in 2017 I reviewed this tent and ultimately recommended and with it being 2022, this tent has changed some and it is time to reevaluate this product.

How the 2022 version is different than the 2017 version.
Luckily I still have my notes to compare important details
The new 2022 version is smaller by 2” in all dimensions when setup.
Dimensions: 82" x 32" x 39.5"
Packed Dimensions are virtually the same.
The newest version is slightly less heavy - 4.4lbs compared to 4.7 of the older version.
Teton sports used to state the hydrostatic rating but no longer does so. The fly was rated at 3000mm but this is no longer stated.
The materials are different; the older version featured a high denier rain fly
The older version included a groundsheet whereas the new one does not.
The price of the old version was $130 retail, I paid $118 for it back then.
…..
With these changes the only big con that I see is the change in size; cutting 2” from each dimension could translate to a tent that simply will not work for all individuals instead they will have to get either a 2 person tent or go with a different product entirely.
The change in materials isn’t that big of a deal as long as the overall performance is similar.
Coming up I will begin with my testing of this product and we will see how well it performs in the rain. That is a big question for me.
It is my hope that this tent performs well as I would love to be able to recommend this tent and even the larger sizes for those who are looking for budget options.

Teton sports has helped me a lot. I had the scout 3400 backpack, and sadly lost it in a house fire. I emailed them to see if I could get a discount for a new one and they just sent me a replacement. Absolutely wonderful people
Great customer service is always a plus. This comment deserves more thumbs up and to be tagged.
I love hearing stories like this and they often genuinely make me want to buy something to support them. I have a few Teton products floating about. If this tent performs well I might be in the market.
lol
That's incredible customer service! Good on them and good for you, Michael!
I read this comment a while back and others based on Tetons customer service , I ordered my son's new pack from them after all the good things I heard about there customer service.
I just got the Mountain Ultra 2 and I am very impressed. I set it up yesterday expecting rain overnight. Not only did we get rain, but a 1/2" of snow overnight as well. I was a little nervous when I went outside to see snow standing on the tent, however it was completely dry!
My Mom always said as her Mom taught her, when sewing, every stitch matters. it's nice to see a company actually put that personal care into it these days.!
All of the Teton products I have owned have been first class
If your weather testing goes well, I think I’ll buy this tent. I’ve been looking at different tents to replace my old one. Thanks for your great & honest reviews, we all appreciate it!
I got one in August and it’s been great. Five inches of rain in three days on the first test. Long slow rains and a couple of those 2 inches in an hour pounders and it didn’t let a drop in.
@@jakeski3142 That is great to hear!! Thanks for your feedback!!
Same here if the test goes good i may buy the gray one
@@stevemotley808 I don’t believe you will be disappointed! My only thing is the mesh isn’t drawn as tight as I’d like so it can sag in on you some(I take up a lot of room at 6’ 275 though) and the stakes it comes with aren’t the best for soft ground, and obvs bend easy.
Teton probably has a solid Q.C. department that does there job well. I have no doubt she'll crush the rain test. I'm also glad to see they offer a gray fly for the stealthy camper.
Yeah I like muted tents, every tent should be offered in earthy or drab colors. I'm not trying to send a signal to space every time I get away from people.
@@DL-ij7tf I got the gray fly and have begged them to make one in OD. I’m the same, when I go out in the woods I generally want to be invisible
@@john0270 My thoughts exactly haha. Even when I'm camping legally I want left alone. The only time I'd want bright colors would be for a legitimate mountaineering expedition or something that visibility would be something you'd want for a potential rescue. Which isn't exactly something I do often.
@@jakeski3142 agreed, olive drab would be sweet on this set up!
@@MegaCocobaby Well that doesn't help much if you buy this tent and camp in the rain and find out they all leak and you and your stuff gets wet.
I purchased the teton sports ultra 1 after watching your review last year, I was super impressed with the tent. Teton sports as a company is excellent, with great customer service. When my ultra 1 arrived there was no footprint in the tent, but the "what's included sheet" listed the footprint included with the tent, so I e-mailed a pic of that "what's included sheet" to teton sports and they owned up to that error and sent me a footprint, free of charge, since they no longer include the footprint with the tent. Excellent company to deal with, from my personal experience!! Looking forward to your follow-up!!
I can second that, same situation for me. I emailed Teton Sports and Alexandra, the customer service agent, helped to send me the tent footprint all the way to Singapore free of charge. Very happy with the company : ) P.S. the tent is also excellent btw
When I first got into backpacking my first sleeping bag was a Teton Sports bag because it was the least expensive I could find. I still have it and it's actually be really great. Even though they're less expensive I think Teton Sports is a pretty good quality brand.
I have a sleeping bag and cot as well as a tent from them that are several years old...all have held up well and still use them today!
I agree! Mine are still going as well.
Man, why are you watching?
I have the Mountain Ultra 3 and so far it has been a good tent. It has stood up to the abuse of having 3 dogs in and out of it. No leaks. Super easy to set up.
I just purchased the Gray version of the mountain ultra 3 tent. Looking forward to receiving it. It is coming from California to my location here in Canada Nova Scotia. Hopefully it gets here in one piece!
I still have my 2017 version of the 3 person tent. Have been in numerous rain storms. Pitched right, open air flow from the ground is great, only condensation problem when there is fog over night. Still love my tent. There only problem, the storage bag has a tear in it. But that's it. Thanks for everything.
How much was that three person?
When bought it in 2017, it cost roughly $140
@@joedemlcla that's not bad to be honest
@@joedemlcla not bad! Thank you.
Out of convenience I shop at Sportsman Warehouse and they carry Teton. I have 2 sleeping bags and some accessories from them and all have proven their quality as well as value
Thank you for this review. I really appreciate what your doing. This is something I can afford so I'm hoping it's as good as the old ones.
I have owned the Teton explorer backpack for years got it on Black Friday sale on Amazon for 45$ and it’s been a great quality pack
Super review, Luke! It looks like Teton has done it again for people on tight budgets. I own other Teton products and love them. I live the van life and own one of their base mats and use it on my bed. Quality and comfort...even more comfortable than the bed I previously slept on. I was on a tight budget as I converted my van into a camper. This tent may be an addition for nights I want to sleep on a beach ⛱.
I truly appreciate your work. As a someone who has been hit hard by the economy, I always look for quality gear at “affordable” prices. Through your videos I’ve been able to afford my adventures. And with our country in such a state, I welcome the peace and tranquillity I’m finally able to afford. Thanks dude…you seriously rock!!! Looking forward to the follow up video. I only wish that I could donate towards your work. Peace.

Look up corporals corner $100 kits. He makes everything happen with full kit for $100. Cool to just get out and do something for a weekend
Thank you Luke for your honest review. I do not own a tent yet, being a beginner, your reviews are what I go by when buying gear. You have already saved me so much money with your honest reviews, I'm glad I support your channel, it's money well spent. I will need the two-person version of this tent, after your review, this is the one I think I will go with. Thanks again, stay safe my friend.
Thank you for yet another honest review. Will stay tuned for your tent-weather-report. Keep 'em comin'!
Good morning Luke. I purchased the 2 person version several mo. ago and other than setting it up in my yard and letting it get rained on, have not actually camped in it yet. My take is this: Very inexpensive for the quality provided. Absolutely no leaks after rain except for a small amount of ground splash up which was my fault in site selection. Has a few loose threads but not bad. Zippers are prone to snag but also not a game changer for me. Easy set-up and if you neatly fold and roll, everything goes in stuff sack including footpring. Stakes are cheap but I use heavier ones anyway. Overall, very pleased with this tent and really appreciate your honest review and reporting.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate your channel. I'm planning a cross country motorcycle trip and the reviews of the tents really interest me. Stay safe.
Love to hear great reviews. Thanks to the company for a great product.
Love this tent. I baught mine 2 years ago after watching your reviews on it before. I used it in Kentucky last year in the Red River Gorge and it rained hard at night each night we were there and I stayed completely dry. Well worth the money. Mine came with the ground sheet. Best tent I ever baught. Take care brother. S&H.
Great review, Luke! Thanks for all your hard work. Spring is here and time for a new budget tent!
Once again you timing is perfect, I almost ordered a new tent last night but waited
Always nice to see quality budget options, esp. for those just starting out. Hopefully this serves as encouragement to newbies.
Not just for newbies. I am just broke as a joke and the ultra 2 is all I can afford.
Excellent review, Luke. Very thorough & professional.
Thanks Luke for the review
I cant wait to see the rest! Exciting
Omg you did it iv been asking for a re test of this tent for over a year. Thanks luke yoir the man
Nice to see something affordable that is worthy.
Honestly, I love Teton products. They're affordable, and the quality, in my opinion, is very good for the price range. The only thing I don't like about their products is the very loud colors they use. I like to be a little more incognito. 😁
I, too, prefer grays, dark greens/khaki, & browns, for the same, "incognito" reason
Same , good products that are well made, just wish they offered more stealthy colour ways.
I'm excited to see the results. Excited to purchase something of quality at a helpful price
Brother. Love you work! End of day, your vids really let me degauss and wind down, like a good glass of wine! Also makes me want to put my weekends to good use! Chazak v’ematz!
Keep the videos coming Luke. Hope you and your family are doing great. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe and be well bud. STRENGTH AND HONOR...
Nice comment.. This man seems to put his heart and soul into making these videos. Very dedicated and a good family man
Excellent Review!! Keep up the real true reviews.
I have had a Teton 1 person now for 2 years, with no problems! Love my Teton tent! Strong and very water proof!
Hey Luke! Great to see a product that's excelling too!
Thanks for the info on the tent. Can’t wait to see the water video
Good job Luke! Really looking forward to the test video.👍
Greetings Luke, Finally a budget friendly Tent that I can afford. It looks real good can't wait to part 2...
Looks like a great tent, can’t wait to see the other videos on it , great video 👍
I think this tent is awesome, thank you for sharing Allen
I bought this tent after I saw this video, it came about 30 minutes before you posted the video for the waterproof test night can't wait to try it out maybe this weekend definitely next week.
Good review, wow, thanks! I will watch for the follow up.
Okay, that was smart and a great idea putting the fly on upside down to inspect it ! I just ordered our 1st Teton product ( explore 75 L pack ) for my son , we're changing our packs , tents and packs and I was impressed when I saw the price of this tent . Great job on the review.
Thank you for the video Luke.
Your mountain adventure 4000 video was one of the 1st Camping purchases I ever made. bought the backpack never regretted it!.. I'm Teton sports fan for life.
Another great review....I like that they offer grey. This will be somewhat stealthy. Cant wait for the test....Thanks Luke 👍👍
This is a great review! I hope the water test comes out good. It seems to get pretty good reviews all around!
Morning everyone :)
You first post devil you!
looking forward to the next steps in your review.
I wonder how much money I would have wasted on poor quality gear had I not found your channel. You provide us a great service friend. Thanks!
Looks pretty sweet. Good colors for hunting season. Good warranty. Never owned a Teton tent but i have owned a few backpacks and a sleeping bag. Still got em. Not the lightest items but they are built good quality and the price was right. Lets hope this tent holds up to the test night!
Thanks Luke, I like the ⛺️
Awesome you found a quality product that went down in price!
Super excited to sell my old tent and get one for just me. great video!! can't wait for some weather testing on it
Great review! Look forward to the rest. I discovered Teton Sports last year as I was starting to purchase camping/backpacking gear and so far I have liked everything I bought from them. I had one issue with the seam of my cushion tearing (probably my fault.. I'm guessing I had it too close to the fire and it melted the glue or something) and I sent them pictures and they sent a new pillow no questions asked. I have the sit cushion, a water bladder, a small day hike backpack that the water bladder fits in, and the +20 Leef Mummy bag which is very very toasty inside.
I anticipate the Storm Test
Hello to Family
Keep Us Posted On this Fine built Tent. I plan on Beach and Mountain Camping .
Take Care Buddy
Happy Trails !
Great review
I have never had a tent from them, but I have had several sleeping bags and two of their backpacking packs. I absolutely love the company so far!
Very cool. Several scouts in my sons troop have Teton backpacks. Dozens of camping and backpacking trips without issue. We do a thorough pack check and weigh out days before backpacking trips... no issues with this brand. My pack is a Kelty, my son has an REI... no issues recommemding Teton.
Nice review !
Cant wait for the test nights !
I love Teton Sports. I don't owe one of their tents yet, but I do own several other pieces of gear from them and have always been impressed. Quality gear at affordable prices!
Looks like a good tent. At that price and considering the quality, even if it failed the rain test, it would be worth seam sealing yourself. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man, you just made my choice. Ordered.
I have Teton stuff, always been happy with my sleeping bags. My uncle has the cot with pad. It 5 years old or so maybe more, and going strong.
Hi from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures and thoughts
I have the old version orange and it has been going strong for years my 7 y/o daughter uses it everytime we go camping.
Just a two day camp with the 1 person tent (I bought it because of this review and the next) but it was the easiest set up and take down I’ve ever had. It didn’t rain so I can’t attest to that but, it didn’t seem very sturdy and otherwise easy to use. I ordered the two person tent so I can take my 5 year old son on an actual camping trip and not just in the back yard so hopefully that one holds up just as well. Thanks the review Luke.
There is a lot of Teton sports products I like and use. Their backpacks are very durable. I hope it is waterproof. Can't wait to see you put it through the test. thanks always for your reviews Luke. This is a game changer for people just getting into hiking and camping, that is if it is waterproof.
This looks like an awesome tent, sure hope it passes the rain test Id buy one for sure love it so far
Nice looking tent! I'm ready to buy one
Alps Mountaineering is another great budget tent, every model we've purchased stays dry in extremely heavy rains and didn't break the bank or the back.
I've owned a few Teton backpacks but never a tent, always good quality. The tent I went with is a Marmot Crane Creek 2 person and never had any issues. Good price and quality.
You do an amazing job explaining the products. The good and bad. Thanks Luke!
Also wanted to let you know I referenced your “Taster’s Nasty” line in my latest video and of course gave you credit! NEW BUSHCRAFT TECH
Thanks again!
Great review, I am always interested in how some of the cheaper tents perform. I've had a Teton Sports sleeping bag that I've used off and on over the last 6 years and it has held up shockingly well. Not the warmest bag in the world, but it has solid construction and outlasted a lot of other pieces of equipment.
We have Teton 0 degree synthetic sleeping bags for car camping and have been very pleased with them!
i bought a couple of budget friendly backpacks and I'm very impressed. in a heavy amount of abuse it has held up really well. i use one of them for my rock climbing gear, constant abuse on rocks and brush and it is still in good shape. Teton so far has me impressed. i might need one of these tents. just need to see if it's waterproof
I'll be watching...as always.!
I have their 0° square sleeping bags, left zip and right zip for the wife and myself. They are awesome! I've used them down to about 15°F and was cozy and warm. Teton makes good quality gear and reasonable prices.
Nice review Luke 👍
Looks like the naturehike cloud up 2 love a good budget friendly tent thanks Luke.
I have the Teton Mt 3 person tent . Best tent I’ve ever used. Last summer it poured and there was flooding . The ground surrounding my tent became flooded with a couple inches of water overnight and it was like walking on a water bed . It was completely dry the whole time. It has two doors which saved me cause there was a dry spot at rear of tent so I was able to get in and out without going directly into the water. I also have a 2Teton packs and the camp pillows and a mummy bag. I have used everything but the mummy bag . Everything is awesome just wish pillows were larger .
This tent definitely has my attention now.
I'd like to try this tent too, but for my size, I'll try the 2 person size, it is around 2 pounds heavier, but it's worth it for more comfort. I can't wait for the rain test. Thanks for sharing.
I got this tent in August so don’t know if it’s the same “version”. But it’s killed it so far. I left it out in the rain as soon as I could, five inches in three days, and it was dry as a bone. Also have had great experiences with their customer service when I’ve had questions(TY, Allison Neal, for not laughing at me too hard!).
Teton has decent products. I’ve watched your backpack review and purchased the pack. I loved it. My garage was Broken in so I don’t have it now. But I would purchase another.
The red tent looks cool. I like the grey more
Beautiful tent. Price is amazing
I purchased the 3 person based on your other review but I haven't taken it out of the box yet. I'm looking forward to your rain test!
Well presented.
I have the Teton sports Mesa 14x10 canvas tent and it’s great, also have their XXL cot and pad and paired with the deer hunter sleeping bag and pillow , all good quality items, I have no complaints about Teton sports
Awesome video.
I like Teton's Quick Tent matched with their XXL camp cot to make a Cot-Tent
I just bought that same tent based on another UA-camr that uses the quick tent for camping in Manitoba. The tent looks great and I think I’ll be buying the cot and larger rain fly later this spring because the older I’m getting the more a cot has a lot of appeal!
I got mine last week for $72 on Amazon. Used - like new condition is the way to go. The packaging is slightly damaged but the product is brand new.
Thanks for video
Gracias a tu revisión, está es la tienda que adquirí para mí ,una compra inteligente
its a lovely tent looks so good
I purchased the original tent 5 years ago. I love it. I have around 70 nights in this tent and it's still good as new (I take really good care of it.) I camp mostly on the shores of Lake Michigan. It's done well in high winds, heavy rain and even in the snow. I'm not sure I like the smaller size of the new version. Not sure if that would work for me. I'd like to see a green/khaki color.
It sounds like Teton has leveled up their QC department, and their production quality. I've got a little bit of Teton gear for my kids, and it works, but it's all a few years old, and yeah, the build quality was like you found before and although adequate, the gear isn't our first choice for camping any more. Based on the outcome of this series I may have to revisit my opinion of their products.
i am very impressed
