I bought this because it's suppose to fit the night cat cot. I got this tent set it out serveral times and put it away I did this to make sure I knew how to set it up and take it back down had no problem until I went to put it on the cot getting it on the cot was so tight I thought it would rip on one end or the other way to tight it was a shore to zip it up on the cot once on it worked pretty good . Sitting in it on the cot I noticed it was so tight that I could see day light in the seams at both ends stretched out too much I thought maybe it will stretch out and fit better not put everything away and took it back out yesterday to try it out again because I'm getting ready to go on a motorcycle trip same thing way to tight one end broke the internal poles and still struggled to get it on the cot so here I am with a busted tent that don't work and mind you it's designed to fit this cot! I feel I wasted money on this pop up tent for nothing . I don't recommend this tent for the cot by it's self it works great but for the cot nope. I know in a rain strorm it would have leaked because it stretched so much bad design or I got a bunk tent don't know. My saving grace is that I bought the cot with it's tent as a package works great everything fits good when I saw the popup tent I thought maybe this would work better and faster set up didn't turn out that way pretty disappointed with this product.

This tent is perfect for some glamping but it's not really packable due to the shape. It's just okay and not for anyone hiking into a camp site. Read more

I bought this Night Cat Pop-up Tent specifically for solo camping trips and overnight events where quick setup and portability matter. I’ve used several tents over the years, but the convenience of this one stood out immediately. It pops open in seconds and folds down almost as quickly once you get the hang of it. The tunnel design is excellent. It provides a surprising amount of headroom and ventilation for such a compact footprint. I used it with a camping cot (not included, but it fits perfectly inside), and the elevated sleep setup made a huge difference in overall comfort. It also helps keep you clear of ground moisture. One of the biggest wins for me is the waterproofing. I’ve been caught in light to moderate rain in this tent, and everything stayed bone dry. The seams and zippers are well-constructed, and I didn’t notice any leaks or drafts. I would trust this for spring, summer, and early fall camping without a second thought. The materials feel durable and not flimsy like some other pop-up tents I’ve tried. The mesh panels allow for airflow while keeping bugs out, and the outer shell provides good shade and light control. It’s a great tent for someone who wants to be out the door and into the woods without wasting time on complicated gear. One thing I’ll mention is that packing it back into the carry case takes a little practice. The first few times I needed to follow a video guide, but now I’ve got it down to a minute or two. Once collapsed, it’s slim and easy to store or transport. This tent works beautifully for quick overnights, car camping, or minimalist trips. It would be especially useful for festivals, scouts, or situations where having your own enclosed space is a must. Just be sure to pair it with a compact cot or ground pad for the best experience. Overall, it’s a smart, well-thought-out tent for one person who wants shelter without hassle. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone who prioritizes speed, simplicity, and solid protection in a compact form. Read more

I have not had a chance to fully field test this rig, but I have tried to put it through its paces at home. Overall, the construction of Night Cat products is always decent. I always have a worry about zippers, though, but that is true for all products. The idea of this tent is to be able to throw it and have it automatically deploy. And it does just that. This is convenient if you are sleeping on the ground. However, if you are using a cot is where the questions arise. You are kind of out of luck if the cot is too wide. I suppose you could just lay it over the cot, pull down the skirt, and tie it to stakes, but that seems like it might be a little slippery during the night. The process of folding it up is just like any other throwable - a figure 8 motion to put it back in place. I can't argue the idea of this tent - it's pretty brilliant. I just worry about slippage off the cot during the night. Read more

Ok, here is the fix not mentioned in vague manual as usual. In video, tent corners fit perfect on cot. Put only 2 center braces on cot. Now you can bend ends to fit on corners of tent. Then put 2 end braces on cot. This avoids ripping the tent corners as are too tight. Zipper helps only 10%. Is great tent and cot match. Zippers can go on top or sides for venting. Lightweight for Harley, sleep in Rest area 1 stall next to Harley. Fast set up and tear down. Learn this system is excellent. Read more
