The price to quality ratio is satisfactory, the tent is easy to set up and take down, and its interior is spacious enough that even a person who is 1.91 m tall and weighs over 100 kg can function comfortably inside. You can crouch, get dressed, and fit a backpack plus a few additional items. The vestibule allows you to store items you want to keep handy, such as shoes. Is the tent waterproof? Partially, yes. I survived a night of moderate or light rain without any leaks inside, although the outer layer soaked up water—even after waterproofing, rain did not run off the material, even the steep sides. In the corners, the floor let through a little moisture, but it wasn't a significant problem. You can use it, though it's not a perfect solution. Summary: Setting up and using the tent is enjoyable, it looks good and takes up little space, but it is rather heavy. The construction seems delicate and cheap, so you have to be careful in bad weather—although the price is very affordable. A good option for camping every now and then!

The Mil-Tec "RECOM" tent is a top choice for anyone in need of a lightweight and compact shelter. Created specifically for one person, it offers high practicality and intuitive setup. Constructed from robust, waterproof polyester in the classic Flecktarn camouflage, it seamlessly adapts to both woodland and urban environments. The polyurethane coating serves as an effective barrier against water and wind, providing reliable comfort under a variety of weather conditions.
The tent’s inner layer is crafted from the same material as the flysheet, offering water resistance up to 800 mm water column. Its floor, composed of Oxford polyester, is designed for greater durability while delivering water resistance of 1500 mm water column. These features make the tent a reliable option in challenging environments, effectively guarding against dirt and moisture.
Featuring a dual-layer design with a flysheet and an inner tent, the structure includes a roomy vestibule for storing gear out of the elements. The entrance is equipped with a zipper for quick and easy access, while side ventilation openings promote airflow to increase comfort, particularly during warmer conditions. An integrated mosquito net at the entrance ensures protection against insects, enabling restful sleep in diverse surroundings.
Included in the package is a polyester transport bag along with pegs for securing the tent. Assembly is straightforward and the structure remains stable, even under harsh conditions, due to three poles constructed from lightweight yet sturdy fiberglass.

Camouflage Flecktarn
Flecktarn represents a renowned German military camouflage design, officially adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1990. Characterized by five different colors—dark green, olive, brown, black, and beige—applied in small, irregularly shaped spots, the pattern’s numerous dots and blurred color transitions disrupt the outline of the wearer in woodland environments, dense brush, or against the undergrowth of forests. Specifically developed for the climatic conditions of Europe, particularly the temperate zone, Flecktarn continues to serve as the standard camouflage for the German armed forces, as well as various other military and police units. High effectiveness has inspired many adaptations and versions in militaries around the world.

It performs great even in heavy rain. For a single-person tent, it offers a lot of space; you don't have to keep your backpack in the vestibule. The camouflage works really well. Highly recommend.
-
The tent works great for bike trips. Thanks to its construction, there isn't too much condensation. On clear nights (without rainfall), you don't need to put on the flysheet, which means zero condensation and you can watch the stars while lying in the tent. The interior is spacious, fitting two 25-liter bike bags and a 40-liter sack. And it sets up quickly—you don't need to stake it down unless there's strong wind.

A pretty good tent, comfortable for a person up to 1.9 meters, well-made, well-ventilated, no condensation noticeable, the vestibule fits a backpack and shoes. Very good camouflage, the tent is well darkened inside. The flysheet’s waterproofness is sufficient.

Only after a year can I give an opinion. I highly recommend it. I used the tent in summer and winter. It's worth its price, especially since I got it very cheaply using KSK. There's plenty of space for a backpack and other things. Once again, I recommend it to everyone.

The tent is carefully made. The floor is relatively thin. At a height of 174 cm, a 75L backpack fits tightly. Heavy for a one-person tent, but stable. Good camouflage that works well in the forest. The product can be recommended.

I've been using such a tent for over 10 years. I swapped the poles for aluminum ones (lighter and stronger than fiberglass). There is surprisingly a lot of space inside. Setup time around 3 minutes. Without staking with pegs, it's very easy to move. Huge tent area covered with dense mosquito net, greatly improving ventilation. Anyone who has ever experienced a tent 'hangover' in the morning will appreciate it. All in all, it's one of the best one-person tents.

Decent tent, I use it for bike and kayak trips, works well during heavy rain and is cozy inside. Inside there's space for me, my 7kg dog, plus 2 bike panniers. The vestibule is also good – it fits shoes, gas, and other items. The downside is that I’m 186 cm tall and when I lie on my back, my toes touch the flysheet depending on how I'm positioned. I recommend it.

I recommend it, a plus is the quick possibility of setting up and dismantling. Once unfolded, the tent has enough space for an adult. I think it's worth attention and buying.

A really good tent for camping overnight for one person in comfortable conditions. Great camouflage that allows you to hide in forest conditions. And the price is very encouraging.

Very nice tent, plenty of space inside, very simple and quick to set up. No problem setting it up at night with minimal light.

Great tent, easy to set up, lots of space inside, has a vestibule for shoes or a backpack. It serves well on fishing trips. Once packed, it fits in a backpack. It's light and the color camouflages very well. I recommend it.
-
I am 188 cm tall and sleeping in this tent, I still have some extra length. The tent is diamond-shaped, not rectangular, so a backpack fits inside without much trouble. The vestibule is big enough that I could put my shoes and stove there. I slept during rain—about 2 hours. The tent did not leak, only in the spot where the backpack leaned against the wall it became slightly damp. In my opinion, at this price it is a good purchase.
-
This tent does not need any guy lines or ties. 3 poles are enough to make it stand, and if you peg it to the ground, it is wind-resistant. Inside, there is enough space for a big guy with a large backpack. You can leave your shoes in the vestibule. The tent is low, and if you pick a good spot for the camp, it is invisible from 20–30 meters away. I recommend using a groundsheet under the tent to prevent damage. I highly recommend this product.
-
I hesitated for a while before buying – really a good purchase, maybe it's not ultra, but for this money it's okay.
