The tent is perfect for cycling adventures. Thanks to its design, condensation hardly ever appears inside. When the weather is nice and there is no rain, you can leave the flysheet in your backpack – not only is there no moisture, but you can also admire the stars while lying inside. The space is very roomy; two panniers of 25 litres each and a 40-litre bag fit in easily. Additionally, pitching the tent only takes a moment and you don’t need to peg it down if the wind isn’t strong.
The "RECOM" tent from Mil-Tec is an excellent choice for those looking for a lightweight and compact shelter. Designed for one person, it offers high functionality and ease of use. Made from durable, waterproof polyester in the popular Flectarn camouflage, it performs well in both forest and urban environments. The additional polyurethane coating enhances resistance to water and wind, ensuring comfort in various weather conditions.
The interior of the tent, made from the same material as the flysheet, is waterproof with a rating of 800 mm water column. The floor, made from Oxford polyester, is highly resistant to damage and boasts a water resistance of up to 1500 mm water column. These features make the tent ideal for protecting against moisture and dirt, ensuring comfort in harsher conditions.
The tent has a two-part design: a flysheet and an inner tent. It includes a spacious vestibule for storing gear and protecting it from rain and wind. The zipper at the entrance allows easy access to the interior, and the vents on both sides improve air circulation, enhancing comfort on warmer days. The mosquito net at the entrance effectively protects against insects, ensuring a peaceful sleep in any condition.
The set also includes a polyester transport bag and stakes for setting up the tent. With three poles made of lightweight yet durable fiberglass, the tent is easy to set up and stable, even in tougher conditions.

Camouflage Flecktarn
Flecktarn is a classic German military camouflage pattern, officially introduced for use by the Bundeswehr in 1990. The pattern is based on small, irregular spots in five colors – typically dark green, olive, brown, black and beige. With the distribution of numerous dots and blurred boundaries between the colors, Flecktarn effectively distracts from the wearer's silhouette in forest terrain, as well as in scrubland or against the background of forest undergrowth. The camouflage was designed for European climatic conditions, especially for the temperate zone. To this day, Flecktarn remains a standard pattern used by the German army, other military and police officers. Its effectiveness has led to numerous variants and adaptations in other countries.

The tent is quite good, comfortable for people up to 1.9 m tall, well-made and airy, with no condensation problem. The vestibule easily fits a backpack and shoes. Very effective camouflage and good interior darkening. The flysheet is sufficiently waterproof.
-
Only after a year of use can I write a review – I highly recommend this tent to everyone. I've used it both in summer and winter. It's worth its price, especially since I bought it very cheaply with KSK. There's enough room for a backpack and other things. Once again, highly recommended to everyone.
-
The tent is solidly made, although the floor is quite thin. A person who is 174 cm tall can just fit a 75L backpack. The tent is a bit heavy for a one-person tent, but it is stable. The camouflage works well in the forest. I can wholeheartedly recommend this product.

I've been using this type of tent for over 10 years. I replaced the poles with aluminium ones because they're lighter and more durable than the fibreglass ones. There's surprisingly a lot of space inside. Pitching it takes about 3 minutes. Without using pegs, it's very easy to move. A large surface area of the tent is covered with a dense mesh, which has a positive effect on ventilation – something everyone will appreciate who knows the 'tent hangover' feeling after a night. In summary, it's one of the best one-person tents.
-
A good tent – I use it on cycling and kayaking trips, it works great during heavy rain and it's cosy inside. There’s space for me, my dog (7 kg) and two cycling panniers. The entrance hall is sufficient for shoes, a stove and other things. The downside is that, with my height (186 cm), when lying on my back, I sometimes touch the outer layer with my feet, depending on position. I recommend it.
-
Recommended – a big plus is the ease and speed of pitching and packing. Once set up, it's spacious enough for an adult. I think it's worth considering and buying.
-
A great tent for camping, providing a comfortable night's sleep for one person. The camouflage suits the forest surroundings perfectly, and the attractive price is an added encouragement to buy.
-
Very nice tent – plenty of room inside, very easy and quick to pitch. You can set it up at night without any problem, even with little light.
-
The tent is great – easy to set up, there's plenty of room inside, and it has an entrance hall for shoes or a backpack. It works perfectly while fishing. When folded, it fits into a backpack, it's light, and the colour camouflages the tent well. I definitely recommend it.

I am 188 cm tall and I still have room left for length in this tent. Its rhomboidal shape allows you to store a backpack inside without any problem. The vestibule is large enough to easily fit shoes and a stove. I slept through two hours of rain and the tent did not leak; only where the backpack touched the wall did the material get slightly damp. I think at this price it's a very good choice.
-
This tent does not require guy lines or ropes – three poles are enough to set it up, and once attached to the ground, it withstands wind well. Inside, it is spacious enough even for a tall man with a large backpack, and you can leave your shoes in the vestibule. The construction is low, making the tent almost invisible from a distance of 20–30 metres if positioned correctly. It is worth using a groundsheet to avoid damaging the floor. I definitely recommend this product.
-
I thought for a long time about buying it – it was really a good decision. Maybe it's not top of the range, but at this price it works very well.
-
I have been using this tent intensively, also during demanding expeditions, and it works excellently. It provides good protection against rain and light frosts – there may be ice or frost outside, but the interior stays dry. It is low, which allows for discreet camping but does not cause a feeling of claustrophobia. I recommend it for its durability and exceptionally easy handling.
-
Great tent – it's easy to set up, spacious inside, and the vestibule can fit shoes or a backpack. Ideal for fishing trips. When folded, it fits into a backpack. It's lightweight, and the colour provides good camouflage. I recommend it.
