Disappointed
"Keep the condensation, no really breathable, Basic hiking tent. Decathlon make a better tent for the same price"
Motorcycle road trip tent
"Me and my riding mate both bought Bora 2 tents for a round Australia motorcycle ride. Both tents worked well and were erected, slept in and packed up 42 nights in the Outback and coastal Australia with no dramas. Single occupancy left plenty of space for our riding gear. Floor has worn thin in a couple of places from using a camping stretcher - fixed with duct tape. Still going strong after 4 years of regular use."
Broken Poles
"Me and my partner bought this tent last year and we loved it at first. However, one of the doors was sewn too tightly which resulted in the fabric being pulled apart. A month later, the pole cracked and we took it in and got it replaced free of charge. However, a month later the pole snapped again in the same place. We repaired it with the repair kit, then a few weeks later on a windy night the pole completely snapped. We are very disappointed with this product and there is clearly a common fault with the poles."
Spacious and sturdy
"After my old 25 year old tent started to fall apart I was after something slightly bigger but just as easy to set up. Colour coding the poles is great. Has enough head space to avoid weird gymnastics while dressing (I'm an average height female). Sturdy in the wind and rain. I reused my old tent's packing bag as I'm not a fan of compression packs but that's just me."
Great tent
"I have used it for a couple days now and couldn't be happier, even on a rainy night it kept us dry and safe. The space its just enough for 2 people"
Best tent so far!!
"I bought this tent last week for an upcoming winter camp. Reached -1 degrees and still felt warm inside the tent. However, we did get some condensation on the inside of the fly which didn’t affect us, just had to dry it out before packing it up. Looking forward to trying it out in the warmer seasons."
I LOVE IT!
"I bought this tent a few months ago and I LOVE IT SO MUCH! It’s easy to put up and packs quite small. It feels roomy if only one person sleeps in it, but it’s good enough for two people. It has so many pockets inside which is always nice. However, the best feature is that it is SO WATERPROOF! I’ve used it in heavy rain and strong winds and it’s just amazing. You can be on top of a poddle and you feel the cold water on the ground but it just doesn’t get into the tent (the floor is really thick and waterproof). Definitely a really good tent, which I use at least twice a month!"
So simple and easy to use!!
"I went on a three day hike with my children and it was the best tent I have ever had!! The kids easily set it up, it was so light weight and kept the weather elements at bay!"
An Incredible Travel And Multi-Day Trekking Tent!
"We've been using another brand of tent for years, and weren't sure we'd find anything else that would come close to it. We just returned from 5-weeks backpacking, hiking and kayaking around New Zealand and we can honestly say that the Bora is our new favourite tent! It's incredibly durable, lightweight (under 3kg), and very easy to set up. Even with one person it will be full erected in only a few minutes. Pegged out it's strong enough to hold up against rough winds and heavy rain, and the bottom tarp doesn't let any moisture through. There's lots of pockets on the inside as well to help store your small bits of gear. In bad weather big packs can fit on the inside, although we normally wrap them in a rain cover and leave them in the vestibule to give us more room on the inside. We did a 5-day hiking and kayaking trip in Abel Tasman camping in it every night, and it held up brilliantly. We also did a bunch of overnight hikes, and it'll now stick with us for good. Only issue we found was we broke the top off two pegs when banging them into rocky ground, so if you're willing to add extra weight to your pack and you know you're going somewhere with hard ground, look at chucking in some heavier pegs as well."

- The inner sleeping area is 132 cm x 214 cm.
- What is the material used for the fly? I need to seam seal and need to know the correct product to purchase.
