The Naturehike Taga 2 tent is a close copy of the Tarptent Double Rainbow tent.

It is a 2-man, single wall tent that uses a single pole and crossbar design.

It requires 4 guylines (2 either side) to stand upright - but you could put trekking poles horizontally through the front and rear tie down loops as a temporary solution however.


Pros
  • ~1.2kg (lightweight for a 2-man tent)
  • Crossbar pole creates taut and vertical side walls
  • 2 mesh inner walls (1 door and 1 smaller access portal)
  • 2 storage vestibules
  • Internal pocket and hanging hook
  • Blue and green colour options

Cons
  • Central pole inserted through sleeve in flysheet (instead of hook clips)
  • Condensation an issue - best suited for dry, warm environments
  • Sil-Nylon floors can be slippery
  • 20D floor needs a groundsheet
  • Not freestanding

Compared with the Double Rainbow, the Taga 2:
  • Is smaller internally
  • Weighs ~200g more
  • Has a single door and vestibule access portal (DR has 2 full doors)
  • Uses 20D Sil-Nylon (DR uses 30D Sil-Nylon)
  • Has it's floor directly sewn to the wall of the tent (DR has a detached "hybrid bathtub floor")
  • Has limited venting options (DR has an apex vent and adjustable vents on each side)
  • Is easier to set up (DR requires clips for the bathtub floor and many adjustments that make a consistent pitch difficult)
  • Lacks the DR "porch mode" that gives extra vestibule space and allows standalone pitching with trekking poles
  • Is seam sealed (DR isn't)
  • Has no optional internal liner available
  • Has no carbon fiber pole option
  • Can be bought worldwide (DR must be bought from Tarptent in the USA)
