Information on sustainability can be found both on the Amazon page and on the packaging. Due to the high-quality materials used, we also assume a long service life.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Quick and easy, color-coded tent poles | 95 points |
| Functionality | Ultralight, optimum air and moisture circulation, removable outer tent | 100 points |
| Field of application | Trekking, Hiking, Festivals | 100 points |
| Protection | Stable anchoring, waterproof, insect protection | 100 points |

*The maximum score is 100 points
At 2.8 kg, the tent is ultra-light and can be stowed away in the transport bag to save space . The compact roll-up requires a little practice the first time. Thanks to its small pack size, the product can then be taken on trekking tours, festivals or camping trips. Measuring 220 x 140 x 105 cm, it offers enough space for two people and has enough headroom to sit comfortably or change clothes. It can be set up quickly and without outside help in less than 10 minutes. A helping hand can speed up the process. Depending on the ground, a hammer for the pegs is helpful, but not absolutely necessary . The peg puller helps when dismantling.
The construction is stable and robust, even in strong winds. The double-stitched walls also keep rainwater out. The mesh fabric of the inner tent not only protects against insects, but also ensures optimum air circulation so that less condensation forms. Overall, the tent is a quality product that meets the needs of the user.
Customers can currently choose between the smaller tent version for 1-2 people and the larger version for 3-4 people.
Components
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good | 90 points |
| Rating cut | Not rated, as there are still too few customer reviews | |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Prices of up to €600 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available from as little as €40. With a current price of € 89.90, the Nordbär tent is therefore in the lower price segment. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
