Blackwolf Mantis 2 UL Hiking Tent Review

Blackwolf Mantis 2 UL Hiking Tent
Our Rating
4.2

The Black Wolf Mantis 2 UL Ultralight Hiking Tent weighs 1.8 kg. Just light enough to be categorized as a light weight tent.

This tent has 2 magnetic poles are colour coded that helps with an easy setup. You just need to match the colours and you’re all set.

The Black Wolf Mantis 2 UL Ultralight Hiking Tent is designed with 2 side doors. The large doors makes it easier to get in the tent. This tent is very airy that gives great ventilation. There are vents at the front and back of the fly.

This tent has a lot of guylines to support the tent when it’s a bit windy outside. This is a 3 season tent but it is best suited during the dry season or at particularly dry areas.

You can still be protected from the elements as this tent comes with a full fly cover and fully seamed floors but don’t expect it to hold during stormy weathers.

Since this tent is preferred to be used during dry season, you would hope that it offers good airflow and it does. The tent is made of no-see-um mesh which means it keeps the tiny bugs out but gets the nice summer breeze in.

Pros

Quick Set up – Because of the color coded poles and clips, you won’t be confused where things go

Dual doors – Two doors offers easy access or getting in and out of the tent

Ventilation – Not only does this tent have dual door but they are actually quite large doors. This allows better airflow in the tent. Also the vents and mesh walls keep the tent cool at night

Cons

Not enough head space – This tent is ideal for small to medium sized hikers/campers

Not great with extreme weather – As mentioned, hikers seem to use this tent mostly during the summer. This is because there is a tendency for leaks when you’re under strong rain
