The tent is perfect for cycling adventures. Thanks to its design, condensation hardly ever occurs inside. When the weather is good and there’s no rain, you can leave the rainfly in your backpack—not only does this prevent moisture, but you can also enjoy stargazing while lying inside. The interior is very spacious; two 25-liter panniers and a 40-liter bag fit inside with no problem. Additionally, setting up the tent takes just a moment and you don’t need to anchor it to the ground unless the wind is strong.
The "RECOM" tent by Mil-Tec is an outstanding option for those seeking a compact and lightweight shelter. Tailored for one person, it combines high functionality with user-friendliness. Crafted from durable, waterproof polyester in the popular Flecktarn camouflage, it performs well in both forested and urban settings. An added polyurethane coating boosts resistance to wind and water, providing comfort in diverse weather conditions.
The tent's interior, made from the same material as the flysheet, features waterproofing with an 800 mm water column rating. The floor, constructed from Oxford polyester, is highly damage-resistant and provides water resistance up to 1500 mm water column. These attributes make the tent perfect for protection against moisture and grime, ensuring comfort in tougher environments.
Featuring a two-part design, the tent includes both a flysheet and an inner tent. A roomy vestibule provides space for gear storage and protection from rain and wind. The entrance is equipped with a zipper for straightforward access, while vents on both sides promote air circulation, enhancing comfort during warmer seasons. An entrance mosquito net effectively guards against insects, ensuring tranquil sleep under any conditions.
The package also includes a polyester transport bag and stakes for setup. With three poles made from lightweight yet sturdy fiberglass, the tent offers ease of assembly and stability even in challenging environments.

Camouflage Flecktarn
Flecktarn represents a traditional German military camouflage design that the Bundeswehr officially adopted in 1990. This pattern consists of small, irregular dots in five colors—typically dark green, olive, brown, black, and beige. The scattering of numerous spots and the softened transitions between colors allow Flecktarn to effectively obscure the wearer's shape in wooded areas, as well as in shrubland or against forest underbrush backdrops. This camouflage was created to suit European environmental conditions, particularly the temperate zone. Even today, Flecktarn continues to serve as the standard pattern for the German military and is also utilized by other military and police personnel. Its proven effectiveness has inspired several variations and adaptations in different countries.

The tent is pretty good, comfortable for people up to 1.9 m tall, well made and ventilated, no condensation problems. 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 give my opinion – I highly recommend this tent to everyone. I have used it both in summer and winter. It’s worth its price, especially since I got it very cheap from KSK. There’s enough space for a backpack and other items. Once again, I highly recommend it to everyone.
-
The tent is well made, although the floor is quite thin. A person who is 174 cm tall can just about fit a 75L backpack. The tent is a bit heavy for a one-person tent, but it's stable. The camouflage works well in the woods. I can recommend this product with a clear conscience.

I've been using this type of tent for over 10 years. I replaced the poles with aluminum ones because they are lighter and more durable than the fiberglass ones. Inside, there is surprisingly a lot of space. Setting it up takes about 3 minutes. Without using stakes, it's very easy to move. A large area of the tent is covered with a dense mesh, which positively affects ventilation – anyone who knows the 'tent hangover' effect after a night will appreciate this. In summary, it’s one of the best one-person tents.
-
Good tent – I use it on cycling and kayaking trips, it works great during heavy rain, and it's cozy inside. I fit in it, my dog (7 kg), and two bike panniers. The vestibule is enough for shoes, a stove, and other items. The downside is that with my height (186 cm), when lying on my back, sometimes my feet touch the flysheet, depending on the position. I recommend it.
-
I recommend it – a big plus is the ease and speed of setting up and taking down. Once set up, it’s spacious enough for an adult. I think it’s worth considering and buying.
-
Great camping tent providing a comfortable night's sleep for one person. The camouflage blends perfectly into the forest surroundings, and the attractive price is an additional incentive to buy.
-
Very nice tent – lots of space inside, very easy and quick to set up. You can easily set it up at night, even with little light.
-
The tent is great – easy to set up, plenty of space inside, it has a vestibule for shoes or a backpack. It works perfectly when fishing. When folded, it fits in a backpack, is lightweight, and the color blends the tent in perfectly. I definitely recommend it.
-
I'm 188 cm tall and still have room to stretch out in this tent. Its rhomboidal shape allows you to stash your backpack inside without any issue. The vestibule is big enough to easily fit shoes and a stove. I slept during a two-hour rain and the tent didn’t leak, only in the place where the backpack touched the wall the material got slightly damp. I think for this price it's a very good choice.
-
This tent does not require guy lines or ropes – three trekking poles are enough for setup, and once staked to the ground, it handles 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 structure is low, which means that if positioned right, the tent is almost invisible from 20–30 meters away. It’s worth using a groundsheet to protect the floor from damage. I highly 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-line, but at this price it works very well.
-
I use this tent intensively, also during demanding expeditions, and it works excellently. It protects well against rain and light frost – ice or frost may appear on the outside, but the interior stays dry. It is low, which allows for discreet overnight stays, but does not create a feeling of claustrophobia. I recommend it for its durability and extremely easy handling.
-
Great tent – it’s easy to set up, spacious inside, and the vestibule can fit shoes or a backpack. Perfect for fishing trips. When folded, it fits into a backpack. It’s lightweight, and the color camouflages it well. I recommend it.
