Does anyone have any experience using Lanshan tents? They seem very cheap considering their weight

I have the old version The Lanshan2 with winter inner, It needs waterproofing the seams when you first get it but has held up fine. I bought mine to do the Appalachian trail (180 days) as I have seen other owners do the same.

Easy to set up with two trekking poles, I changed out the tent stakes for lighter and longer ones.

I love the look of the lanshan although I've no experience of it. I did come across a YouTube video of it failing / tearing under high wind on the mountains somewhere. But I'd take comments based on second hand youtubing with a pinch of salt.
Have you looked at nature hike mongar?

There is surely a specialised shop for lightweight equipment in Britain as well.

But here you can just have a quick look at the weights and prices of the tents that are offered by the competition.

That's a 300 g poncho - tent:
The here fitting mesh tent:


I have this here. 160 € only outer tent, 230 € with inner tent but without pole.
You can hang it under a branch or a washing line.


That surely has the best quality:

If you are rather small that's perhaps an option too. I personally would rather choose the Akto for British circumstances.


And that's light and large:

I had the Lanshan pro 2 and got rid of it fairly sharpish. I think they're more designs for American style trails. Not really suitable for UK whether conditions if you ask me. Those giant flat pannels just get flattened in the wind

Got a lanshan 1, among others!! Never ask a man how many tents he has! I've used it for 2 weeks wild camping in the cairngorms, fair mix of autumn weather, including rain and some strong winds. However strongest winds I've had it in is in the Peak District, above Jacobs ladder in howling wind and rain. Not a bad place to be in bad weather at all held up very well. It came with essentially a bug net inner, but bought a more solid solid nylon inner for winter. Still very light and compact
