#327 FJERN GOKOTTA Solo Backpacking Tent | MSR Hubba NX Budget Alternative ? | First Impressions |

looks like a decent budget alternative although Im just not a fan of inner pitch first. got to say for the price seems of good quality.

Thank you Andrew, I was looking forward to a review of the Gokotta. Some decent spec for the money, and at just over 1kg ! That's quite impressive. Also thumbs up for the rain test. I have got my eyes on this tent mainly because of the price to weight ratio. I can't wait to see the full review to see if it lives up to expectations ... and if at 6ft3 I could fit in 🤣 All the best.

Cracking in-depth review, looks like a great tent 👌🏻
What sold you on it over the copper spur?

Looks good value and well made.i,ve used sport pursuit for about 8 yrs.always had quality products at a good price.looking forward to seeing the tent in your future adventures.cheers mate.

I saw these on eBay recently. I do like the fly colour. Will be interesting to see how it performs in windy conditions.

Thanks for the review Andrew, seems well priced and made. I think fjern are sport pursuits own brand label these days, generally positive reviews, just never owned any of the kit myself. Enjoy the tent!

ANOTHER tent ,as you say it’s a MSR HUBBA NX .Bargain for the price if ya on a budget.still haven’t used my new tent yet 😩 .2 season with all that mesh. 👍

Hi Andrew, I bought the same tent a few months ago, I had the OEX jackal 2 before, nearly a third of the weight and so far it’s not leaked, just about the right size for a proper 1 person tent and I’m hoping to use it on the Afric Kintail way in May. Hopefully there will be some good weather and I can use it without the fly.

Hi Andy, Hope you are well. I got the Fjern Gokotta 2 for Christmas. I haven't used it yet, but it's about to be given a wee fright next week, as I'm bikepacking the Hebridean Way from Vatersay to the Butt of Lewis with it.
I'll report back, after 12 April as to how it performed. It seems well made, as an alternative to the MSR Hubba Hubba (or in the case of the solo tent, Hubba NX). I bought an Aliexpress version of the NX some years ago and used it to destruction. I think it cost me £35.
It's a great design though.
I look forward to watching your field test video in due course. Yours aye, Norrie frae Lithgae

Wouldn't buy from any site that demands your email just to browse the site...
No, no and a big NO

Looks like a mini Mongar.

Nice review. Looks good for that price for a summer tent. More headroom than many.

😂😂😂 fjern In Norwegian meens : well a bit ehhhh slow In the brain to say it kindly

Hi Andrew, i have the 2p and just put a vid up to see if you can pitch it outer first .....spoiler ...you can 👍👌

A question that most will not ask. Why's the freezer door open😮

Excellent review. I bought one a little while ago and have used it once. Fjerns pitching instructions are not great as the pole hubs and cross member can be assembled 2 ways but you've got it spot on. I lengthened the end tie outs but had considered triangulation which I will do now after seeing your video. I think it's a great buy for the price vs weight and decent quality.

I'm from the US, this seems like a sidegrade not a budget option from the MSR tent. So if this is what helps UK people go for it!
According to FJERN's website it is priced similarly to the MSR Hubba tent and the Sportpursuit listing has been de-listed. Reading the specs that is a big steal for that price that tent, those types of tents usually run well into the three hundred dollar range and beyond.

Good initial overview. Decent option instead of the MSR Hubba NX1..I like it...might press the button on it as I have just given away 😢my lovely Hubba to a more needy young man in Argentina.😉 The Hubba a tad wider at 84cm...plus DAC poles..pays yer money....😉😉....🙂🙂from llama_ladee_anny

Looks like a good one Andrew. Came to this too late and all sold out at Sportpursuit. Pity as I think it would have fitted the gap in my collection😞

You can put the Outside up first if you get a cheap matt on the ground then put up the inner.
