Refurbished Crua Duo

Crua Duo

Excellent tent. Perfect size, breathability and protection. I would love to see a bit more detailed instruction manual as I couldn't make full use of all the features available in the product.

Very nice people to deal with, quick delivery, excellent quality tent kit for a good price. Would recommend highly.

I have been using my Duo Max on my motorcycle adventures and it's a superb tent with lots of room for my air mattress and all my gear. Well built and holds up very well in inclement weather with no leaks.

My only complaint is that the vestibule entry is pretty low to the ground making it harder for a big guy like me to get in and out. It would be nicer if the vestibule was as high as the rest of the tent.

Have spent about a week over this winter in a Crua Duo + Culla Maxx combo here in Western New York. Fantastic. It might seem initially like a heavy setup, but compare the overall weight to a hot tent + stove + firewood. A tiny lightweight collapsible rocketstove (Vire mini) and a few small branches is all I needed for cooking and "ambiance". That replaces having to bring a hot tent, a stove and time and effort of processing wood for it. Plus while sleeping, the temperature doesn't oscillate between freezing cold and sauna-like as it does with a hot tent & stove. And, no waking up every two hours to feed the stove - and just a comfortable temp all night long. Get one and give it a try!

There are so many tents out there to choose from with all manner of pros and cons but for £200 I don't think you can go far wrong in choosing this one. I have been to the Lake District last weekend and although I only had a few showers to deal with, the wind was quite gusty. The tent performed extremely well. It is solid and well made. The materials and construction are very good and there is loads of space for one person and quite comfortably fit 2.

On a separate note, I contacted the manufacturer/supplier (Crua) on a minor issue to do with the contents and there customer service was brilliant. I highly recommend this tent.

The tent is very well thought out and I like the small details such as guy line pockets, the porch floor, 2 separate pole sleeves, high quality zippers, and the ability to add the culla in the winter. I haven't tested how waterproof it is but other reviews and a few videos show it is pretty much 100% waterproof.

The only issues I have is a small fabric tear that probably happened somewhere in the manufacturing or packing process. It looks like it would be an instant leak in the rain if I didn't use the rain fly I purchased separately. It did have a piece of patch fabric included but no adhesive. For the price of the tent I think a few dollar tube of adhesive could be included in the patch kit. I have a field excercise in just a few days otherwise I would have shipped it back for an exchange. Next I dont care for the tips at the pole ends. They pop right out when taking the tent down perhaps either glue them in or make them a tighter fit. Last the sliders on the guy lines slip very easily. After a windy night I had it set up they were all very loose and some had slipped off the stake. I tied on a small 550 cord prusik knot on every line that I will butt up to the sliders after tightening. I think this might help them from backing off but I haven't tried it out yet

Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and I hope to get many years put of the tent.

Great product. Lightweight and durable.

Slept in the tent two days. Very impressive construction and features. This tent can be set up easily one person in high winds on the beach.

I have not used it camping yet. But I did set it up and it's a lot bigger on the inside than it looks and only weighs 5.5lbs (for a 4 season tent). I'll update once used.
