What is a good camping adventure? For some, it is good weather, some are good food or a good view but a good tent can be an item that makes your trip become perfect. However, there are so many outdoor brands on the market that is difficult to choose.
So, today, we will give you an overview of 2 leading brands and recommend several remarkable tents for your trip. They are Geertop vs Naturehike tents from two popular brands in the world.
Which is the best one?
In general, regarding material and waterproof, Geertop seems to outperform Naturehike. But in terms of design and innovative features, Naturehike is the winner.
However, there are still many noting points about these brands, which will be mentioned below.
Similarity
In general, Geertop vs Naturehike shares three main characteristics regarding their design, reputation, and convenient accessories.
Firstly, they provide a wide range of tents in terms of size, style, capacity, and color. This varies from light to heavy, inexpensive to expensive, non-freestanding to freestanding, tiny to large, and so on. So, if you’re a picky man, don’t worry!
Secondly, with their outstanding long history, the two companies are famous for their high-quality tents. They’ve put in a lot of effort to exceed their clients’ expectations in terms of tent durability.
Particularly, the “Cloud Up” series is Naturehike’s best-selling tent for high-cost performance. It is also a popular choice among backpackers. The linked integrated poles make it simple to put up, and the comfortable living area is maintained at a low cost. Therefore, it is effective in a variety of outdoor activities.

As for the Geertop, Toproad Tent series is one of the remarkable products. It’s composed of a high-quality, rainproof fabric that’s also exceptionally light. This item garnered a lot of great reviews from consumers due to its amazing features.

Thirdly, regarding convenient accessories, Geertop vs Naturehike always pay attention to small details. Both tents have a heavy-duty, two sided zipper design allowing you to open the tent doors from inside or outside easily. Besides, they also have storage pockets for putting stuff away. In particular, with highly visible and reflective ropes, you can find your tent in the dark.
Difference
Diving deeper into the differences between Geertop vs Naturehike, 4 points are worth considering:
Design:
With regard to design, the Geertop offers customers more models than the Naturehike.
As for the Naturehike, they offer 3 main designs: dome shape, tunnel shape, and pyramid shape.
Among them, the Pyramid shape may be the most impressive and popular tent in the market, which can accommodate from 4 up to 12 people.

Unlike the Naturehike, the Geertop has a variety of designs such as dome shape, bivy sack, tunnel, and pyramid shape(and so on), which is best for different kinds of adventures. We recommend Blazer One Person Tent or Navigator 4 Season Mountaineering Tent for trekkers because of its lightweight, excellent waterproofing, and weather protection. For family camping, the 4 Season Family Camping Tent is a good option due to its spacious interior, waterproof, and durability.
Capacity
The Geertop is limited in its ability to fit a super large group of people. Because most products of this brand prioritize lightweights for backpackers, thus, they are ideal for a small group of 2 to 4 people.
Unlike the Geertop, Naturehike tents can accommodate up to 12 people. Therefore, when you go camping with many friends or family members, Naturehike is highly recommended.
Waterproofness
From my observation in online reviews, Naturehike has more bad comments about its rain protection. Although the brand claimed that the inner tent is made with anti-scratch 20D nylon mesh, there are still drops falling from the inside of the fly to the mesh of the inner tent, then inside the tent.
What’s more, water also leaks in from several contact points above where the rainfly touches the tent’s mesh wall.
Naturehike Mongar 2-Person Backpacking Tent is a typical example of this weakness.

Geertop can be better in waterproofness because the inner tent is comprised of 20D PU8000 mm waterproof coated nylon for the outer tent and 210T PU 5000 mm waterproof coating polyester for the tent floor, which allows it to withstand severe winds and snow in high altitude camping conditions.
Furthermore, the outer rain fly is attached to the inside tent’s top. The tent skin is composed of a silica-coated 20D Nylon plaid. The rain fly has an 8000mm hydrostatic head rating, which means it will effectively keep you dry during a downpour.
Ventilation
In general, Geertop vs Naturehike is quite similar in their airflow system. Because of the two vents on the rainfly and two doors to control the airflow, both tents can breathe effectively even with a rainfly on.
However, what makes Naturehike different is it has a removable interior tent used as a small pergola. This allows maximum airflow into the tent.

Special technology
One more attractive feature of the Geertop that outstrips the Naturehike is the special technology that this brand states, which is: Darkroom technology and electrical cord access.
As for Geertop’s Dark Room Technology, it is stated to block 90% of sunlight. (Darkroom 4 Person Family Camping Tent).
Thanks to multi-Coated Black Rubber Fabric, you may rest comfortably without the glare of the sun. Additionally, it may also lower the temperature inside the tent for maximum comfort. When the light comes up, you can dream a little longer and wake up feeling refreshed after a full night’s sleep.
Electrical Cord Access is also a spotlight. This camp tent features an upgraded design with electrical cord access, which is safe and reliable for electricity power supply in outdoor activities.
As for the Naturehike, although they don’t have these innovations, their tents never lose attraction from customers thanks to many creative features such as top breathable meshes, fireproof cloth chimney ports, ykk zippers, and windows, door ventilation meshes, and so on.

2. What’s the best way to clean my tent?
It is not required to clean your tent unless it has an objectionable odor or becomes badly filthy. Most dirt can be removed using the pressure of an ordinary garden hose if the area is highly contaminated. Set up your tent and hand wash it with warm water, a sponge, and mild, non-detergent soap for a more thorough cleaning.
It is not recommended to use dishwashing liquid, detergent, bleach, pre-soaking solutions, or spot removers. Rinse well. Dry your tent by pitching it or hanging it out to dry. Your tent should never be dry-cleaned, machine-washed, or machine-dried. Any of these approaches will remove the tent’s waterproof coatings.
3. How should I store my tent?
If your tent is wet, moist, or unclean, never pack or store it. Despite using the greatest polyurethane waterproofing available, extended moisture exposure promotes hydrolysis, causing the waterproof layer to break down, becoming squishy, sticky, and no longer waterproof.
In warm weather, storing a damp tent for as little as 24 hours can likely start the mildew formation process on the fabric. Mildew will discolor and stink your tent, as well as cause the waterproof covering to break down prematurely. The Limited Warranty does not cover mildew or moisture damage.
Keep your tent dry and cool, away from direct sunshine, for long-term storage. For safety, store it outside of its stuff sack in a breathable, roomy cotton or mesh duffel, just like a sleeping bag. An old pillowcase is a great way to save money.
Conclusions
In conclusion, if you expect a good tent for a small group, Geertop is a good option. It is obviously an excellent choice in terms of adaptability and pricing, particularly in the 4 season tent market.
However, if you go camping with your family and need a tent serving your basic needs, Naturehike is an excellent option.
In general, Geertop vs Naturehike seems to do an excellent job balancing quality and affordability. However, you should do research carefully before purchasing items.
