Julie Phelan reviews our Tarp Tent for bikepacking

By Kenny Stocker

Bikepacker and MTB guide Julie Phelan reviews the trap tent she will be using for bikepacking this year.

Here is a great review of our lightweight 1 person Tarpstar tarp tent for bikepacking.

Julie is an ex Pro-Elite mountain biker. She is an MTB Leader and Mountain Leader. She regularly runs courses and guided trips, in the Peak District and Wales.

She also does a lot of bikepacking!

"when I do reviews, I only ever say what I think. If I don't like it, you'll know."

Eek, no pressure then.

In this review Julie pitches the tent from start to finish. Full of insights into choosing a tent for bikepacking, what really surprised Julie was just how roomy the Tarpstar was inside, plenty of room for you and your kit.

Did she like it.. check out Julies tarp tent review and subscribe to her channel to find out. You can also compare the Tarpstar against our complete range of tents at the 2025 Hathersage Tent show May 10/11.
