Default Sportz Extreme Pac Bike Tent

Has anyone used one of these? How do you like it and how small is the overall package size with everything in the carrying bag?

From what I've seen it is the best all in one set-up.

Nope ... I've got one of these ... it's the Eureka Solitair (a solo tent) that I picked up from Amazon for under $60. I have a backpackers chair I picked up from a local supply store (see pic below) and a couple different sleeping bags that I take depending on the weather/temperatures I'm expecting.


Here's the travel chair ... it's the GCI Travel Sling. It packs very small (fits easily on or in bags) and is fairly sturdy. It's great for motorycle travel if you don't need a chair with arms.



I also have the typical fold up camp chair that I take if I am going to be on the road for more than a couple days. Two or three days with the GCI is enough, so if I'm going for 3 or more (and expecially if it's over a week) then I pack the chair listed below ...

I like the tent but not sure about the bags. I prefer to hook 2 together for added warmth which they won't do. They should offer a choice of bags or offer the tent alone.

Thanks for the ideas. I would need a tent for 2 though. I agree, the bags don't look like they are that nice.

Geez, for the weight, size and price, you could do much betterwith a Eureka or Kelty.A freakin' Coleman would give you more space, less weight and smaller pack size. Check out campmor.com. If its light weight and small pack size you want, check out REI.

DOC - I gotta check out that first chair - brand, supplier?

That's more like it, smaller pack size and lighter. thanks for the link- I may spend some time cruizing around that site.

I have that tent for biking. It only weighs 6lbs and fits nicely in a saddlebag. We used in in some heavy downpours in Daytona and stayed dry. You can't beat it for the price.
