BlackWolf Travel Products

Incredible bag, absolutely love it – I've had this bag for 5 years and it's been through a lot (including a big crash that took me to hospital), excellent airflow, quality materials,… Read more

durable stitching, and great, thoughtful pockets. I'm using it for a bikepacking trip from Edinburgh to Rome in December, thanks to its light weight and it fits my 3 litre water bladder. So good. Plus the rain cover is fluro orange, so I'm super visible on the roads!

Don't Bother. Rubbish – Tent is 4 years old and has been used a dozen times maybe. Floor has leaked almost since new. Response from BW is as follows. "The issue you have… Read more

described can be quite common with any tent of this age as the PU Coating will eventually start to deteriorate wear away over time" Seam tape is coming off all over the place as well. BW recommend that I reseal the seams. Terrible quality and total lack of after sales service.

OK tent for dry summer single person camping – Used this tent a number of times in different conditions within Australia. Two average height adults on sleeping mats and sleeping bags is a… Read more

seriously tight fit, be ready to store the majority of your belongings within the vestibule including hiking backpack, boots, trekking poles pots and jetboil etc.

The main issue we have with this tent is the lack of room towards the feet at head, and as moving in the night the sleeping bag will press the tent inner against the fly as water will pass through the fabric onto the sleeping bag.

Alongside this, the sagging in the inside tent structure reduces the internal head height and restricts movement further.

This tent would not be my recommendation for heavy rain fall, as areas such as the zippers in the fly are prone to water penetration, and as the tent takes on rain fall, sags touching the inside tent fabric which eventually accumulates and rain drops will fall on your sleeping head.

I would buy this tent as a back up in car camping or if the only hiking i was doing in Aus/summer.

Should be sold as a One and a half man tent, and a 2 season tent.

Not as a 2 person three season tent. On paper this tent has better specifications than some of the much more expensive tents, but its flaws are entirely within it design thinking.

Warranty is false – We purchased a turbo 300 plus lite tent when it was advertised to have a Lifetime Warranty. We had one tent inner replaced under warranty after… Read more

having to argue the toss. This was 4+ years after purchase. We now have multiple problems with our tent due to poor quality materials (including further faults with the tent inner that was replaced under warranty). We are being told the Lifetime Warranty has since been changed and is now a Limited Lifetime Warranty is for 3 years only. The tent has always been stored appropriately, erected and used in mild weather and used for 1-2 times per year at most. The vast majority of responses from Black Wolf have been highly patronising and attempted to consistently blame us as users/conditions it was stored in or used in as the fault. It is an incredibly expensive purchase if expected to last 3 years only and lightly used. The warranty means absolutely nothing. I will not purchase Blackwolf products again.

Stood hard weather – Had camped up basically on the beach, on one night we had close to 40km/h winds and rain and the tent had stood the test of time, we had no issues… Read more

setting up and packing away the tent, easy tent to do by your self when your other half can watch the kids. Would highly recommend this to anyone, they have obviously improved on their customer feedback from previous years and reviews. Great job blackwolf.

Lifetime Warranty just marketing tactic. Great tent if you don’t mind a leaky floor and a memorable camping trip – I purchased the Turbo Lite Twin 300 tent at the end of 2016 and it was used for 1-2 weeks each year. We had a few good trips and the tent was great… Read more

size and the front awning was a good feature. We did get condensation inside - more so than with other tents. But then the not so good…..

During a trip Jan 2022 during heavy rain the entire floor of the leaked. The seam sealer tape was lifting up and there was no waterproof barrier across the entire floor of the tent. The flooring was porous - when you stepped on an area water seeped up through the floor. All of this late at night in a dark remote campsite was not a great camping experience. To remain camping we had to go to a local hardware store the next morning and line the entire tent with tarps.

I have been camping for over 30 years using tents of various brands and always far cheaper price points (Coleman/OzTrail/Spinfex) and I have never experienced anything like it.

Black Wolf’s customer service was abysmal. After multiple emails back and forth and despite the efforts of the retailer (shout out to Snowys) Black Wolf refused to honour their Lifetime Warranty and determined the deterioration to the floor was due to wear and tear. For a product that was used at most for 10 weeks over a 5 year period the Black Wolf tents are not designed for longevity. In contrast I have a Coleman Instant Up 8 person tent that is at least 8 years old and is still going strong - that cost me $200.

It was a significant decision after many years of cheaper tents to purchase a Black Wolf tent and the lifetime warranty was one of the key selling points. What a waste of money and topped off by an appalling customer service experience. I have purchased a number of Black Wolf products over the years but will not be giving them my money again.

Great tent, horrible poles and "lifetime" warranty a joke – The tent is a good design, good quality material tent. Light and airy, easy to set up. Floor is durable and waterproof. Waterproofing has lasted the… Read more

1.5 yrs of use.

Tent poles on the other hand are cheap, thin fibreglass that broke within a year. Warranty does not cover tent poles, evidently.

Don't trust the black wolf lifetime warranty – Please note that the lifetime warranty advertised for Black Wolf tents is effectively non-existent. We purchased a Black Wolf tent from Anaconda for… Read more

around $1300 and encountered significant issues after minimal use. On the fifth occasion of setting up the tent over several years, we were dismayed to find that it leaked not only from the top but also from the floor, and the zippers were malfunctioning. Upon approaching Anaconda about the warranty, we were directed to contact Black Wolf directly. However, our hopes were dashed when Black Wolf informed us that these issues were not covered under their lifetime warranty.

This experience has left us deeply dissatisfied, especially considering the substantial investment we made in the tent. We cannot in good conscience recommend Black Wolf products based on our experience.

Great small travel tent ! – I have used this bivy MANY times, for multiple nights from a kayak and a motorcycle. The small weight and size make it PERFECT for the light… Read more

traveller! This product, and a light weight tarp for some standing room, are all You need to get away AND survive the weather !!!!

Wind, rain, no problem. Provided You can deal with some noise (or take ear plugs) and again, have a tarp to set up some extra shelter this is amazing value. With the ropes set up correctly and the air vents open there are no issues. In winter there can be some condensation, but it dies out quickly once the fly is opened in the morning... barely an inconvenience !

Set up and pack up are a breeze. Simple 3 pole and 1 rope. Nice obvious pockets to put them in, and a handy little spot for the poles feet: making it possible to set up with 1 peg if necessary

I have had this bivy for about 8 years, and have JUST had one section of the plastic split (gaff tape temporarily, in bad weather) but I intend to email Black Wolf about it.

I cannot recommend this product enough for a camper who prioritizes light, can deal with a little 'suck' and has a rugged personality. It's so well pried it is worth trying :)

Good entry level tent – Bought this tent as an entry level option when starting overnight hiking and it is serving it’s purpose. Overall design, quality and functionality is… Read more

good, I would recommend for someone as a starting point to multiday hiking.

Pros: Bulletproof entry level tent for overnight hiking beginners Excellent ventilation for warm nights Inexpensive

Cons: Poles poorly designed for sleeves makes set-up & pack-up a PITA Ventilation not suitable for winter if you feel the cold A little on the heavy side; if you get serious about hiking you’ll want to spend the extra and buy a lighter, easier to set up tent

This is perfect, comfortable and easy to carry – This product is perfect for us. We had a rip in it so rang the company and asked if we could buy a new cover they said they would send us one, when… Read more

we received the parcel it was a brand new chair so thank you very much Black Wolf we appreciate it Kay and John

Broke with very little use due to a design issue – I bought the 75L Grand Teton 10+ years back for an overseas trip for a few weeks, and it was fine - but I didn't use the straps. Then half way… Read more

through day 1 of the second use (and day 1 of a 5 day walk) the harness bars punched through the fabric such that they no longer gave any support (exactly as described by another reviewer) causing the pack to basically collapse. Unfortunately the design of the harness puts the force directly on a seam and with a decent amount of weight the fabric tears out from the seam and the bar pops through. My pack has plastic stoppers on the end of the harness bars so they were not as sharp as seen in the photo from the other reviewer, but it was not adequate to stop the bars breaking through and ruining the pack.
