I’ve had this tent for a couple of years now and I’m quite happy. I’ve mainly used it for overnight wild camping trips in Snowdonia near where I live.
I’ve only used it about a dozen times and it’s been very good in moderate wind and heavy rain.
But recently I’ve encountered a few problems. The fly sheet doesn’t seem to be tight anymore and flaps around in the breeze. But more concerning is that the tape on the seems is coming away in numerous places. And on my last trip during some heavy rain water started to drip into the tent.
I’m happy with the tent in general. But not with the durability and I can’t see it lasting much longer.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Great to hear the tent's worked well across a couple of years.
Those issues are worth sorting, and we'd like to take a proper look. Hearing how a tent has fared after a few years of real use always helps us, so if you email us at support@fjern.equipment with your order number and a few close-up photos of the seams and flysheet, we'll assess it and let you know the best way to get more life out of it.
For a bit of context in the meantime: seam tape and coatings often naturally soften with age and exposure to damp, so storing it fully dry between uses helps a lot, and re-tensioning the guylines should take the flap out of the flysheet. But we'd still rather see the photos and help you properly.

This is a really good tent for medium/long trips. I use it on my round-the-world cycling trip. I've already covered Europe, part of Africa, all of South America, part of North America and all of Australia - 27,000 km so far in 2 years. I've spent about half of the nights in this tent. I have to say that it performed very well for the first half of this journey (about 1 or 1.5 years of travel, about 400 nights). It is incredibly light, can withstand medium winds quite well and does not let in medium rain (I haven't had to test it in stormy conditions, but I doubt it is suitable for that). It also has some minor design flaws, such as the ventilation holes being very poorly adjusted.
However, over time, small holes started to appear in both the top tent and the bottom (although I also use the ultralight footprint). Also, the waterproof seam sealing is now peeling off significantly. So I think I will have to buy another tent before the Asian leg of the trip. Nevertheless, I think that for such a long trip with quite intensive use, this tent served me well, considering its super light weight. It is probably not suitable for round-the-world expeditions, but for shorter trips it is a really good option and very comfortable.
Thank you for such a detailed review!
We're glad the tent performed well for the first half of the trip, and the feedback on the seam sealing and ventilation is genuinely useful for us to hear.
We'd love to support the rest of your journey. Drop us a message at info@fjern.equipment and we'll see what we can do!

Solid lightweight tent, that’s easy to put up but some annoying design flaws that are hard to ignore for the price (ie the door tie backs are too low and the Velcro vents at either end don’t work). The thinness of the bottom makes me a little nervous. Wish the look was a little jazzier but I guess dark green is standard for wild camping.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great to hear you found the tent easy to pitch and lightweight. The design points you raised have been noted previously and are under review for future updates. Footprints are available should you require additional floor protection based on your intended use.

Took this up Crib Goch to camp off the top of Yr Wyddfa. Super lightweight which was great. Easy to assemble but a little loud in the wind.
Thanks for the review, Charlie! Epic picture!

Bought the tent for a 4 day backpacking hike. It was very light weight, very easy to assamble and take down. Survived very windy night as well as very cold one. Performed amazing in both scenarios. Very good tent.
Thank you for the great review! We're really pleased to hear the tent performed so well. :-)

We used the tent in our recent bike touring trip to Pamir. We used it out-of-the box, but bought some extra pegs (4 extra is the bare minimum you need in windy conditions).
We appreciated the tent for its generous dimensions despite the very compact and lightweight setup. It is easy to sit inside (e.g. while getting changed) and there is plenty of space in the vestibules (each of us could fit all the 4 bike bags and still have plenty of room to get in/out).
However, despite all our efforts, is does not seem possible to have the rainfly really straight and correctly tensioned. It looked to us very prone to creating a water sack and its quite noisy due to flapping even under a gentle breeze. We thus have serious doubt about the performance in rainy or stormy conditions, but we had not the occasion to test this in our trip.
Thanks for your feedback!
We’re glad to hear the tent worked well for your trip and that you found the space and vestibules useful.
The rainfly is designed to pitch taut, so it shouldn’t form water pockets if all guy-lines are used and tensioned correctly. With the extra pegs and a full setup, it should stay secure and stable even in wind and heavy rain.
As a 3-season tent it’s built to cope with sustained wet weather, and using all guy-out points will give the best performance in stormier conditions.
If you do get the chance to use it in rougher weather, we’d love to hear how it holds up for you.

For the past few years, I’ve hiked 100 miles of the South West Coast Path for different charities. This year, I needed a tent for a few nights of camping, and I’m so glad I chose the Fjern Gokotta 2 tent. It’s super light, roomy, and ridiculously easy to set up. Despite some classic Cornish weather, it held up perfectly—no issues at all. It’s spacious enough to be really comfortable, and now I can’t wait to tackle my next 100 miles with it!
Thanks for the great review, Anthony!
We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the Gökotta, and we appreciate your detailed feedback.
All the best for your next journey!

Bought it for TMB, fantastic tent! Light, easy to assemble and when it rains and the wind blows, it is bearable inside, even nice and cosy, i thought wind will waking me up all the time, can't wait for a next trekking.
Thank you for the epic review! Great to hear the Gökotta performed well on your TMB trek — exciting stuff!
If you have any photos to share, we’d love to see them at info@fjern.equipment.

You can see my impressions of this tent on YouTube fellmandave1. Impressively light weight for the space.
Thank you for your review and the insightful video, Dave.
We're glad you support our foray into the tent market. We noticed your comments regarding the measurements and will certainly review our specifications. It's important to mention that slight variances can occur between units. We value your expertise and feedback as we continue to improve.

Great tent and very light!

Do you have a ground sheet for the gokotta 2 ?
Hi Jake,
We don't have a groundsheet available for the Gökotta just yet. We should have official footprints available in a few months. In the meantime, you should be able to purchase an alternative that matches the Gökotta's dimensions.
Please let us know if you require any assitance.
Kind regards,
The Fjern Team

My poles have been bent, cant I get replacements?
The poles are actually designed to flex and bend a bit under tension, that's normal and helps them handle pressure without snapping. So a slight bend is expected and shouldn't affect how the tent performs.
If the bend looks unusual though (a sharp kink, a crack, or it's affecting how the pole fits together), that's not normal and we'd be happy to look into a warranty replacement.
You can also buy replacement poles directly here if needed: https://www.fjern.equipment/products/gokotta-2-frame-set-sunshine

I bought one of these a couple of years ago and the pole has snapped. How can I buy a replacement pole? Thanks
Sorry to hear that. Replacement poles for the Gökotta 2 can be purchased here: https://www.fjern.equipment/products/gokotta-2-frame-set-sunshine

Hola, tengo dus preguntas sobre esta tienda de campaña, ka Gokotta dos plazas:
1- Puede montarse sólo el toldo exterior?
2- ¿Cómo evita el exceso de condensación?
Un saludo
Roberto
1. Yes, it is possible to pitch just the outer flysheet, but it does rely a bit on the inner for structure, so setup can be a bit more fiddly without it.
2. The tent includes two vents and a part-mesh inner to help minimise condensation, but exact performance can vary depending on conditions.

Hi there, is the flysheet and groundsheet denier correct, at only 15D for the flysheet and 20D for the groundsheet? This seems incredibly low denier and sounds quite flimsy. Are there any plans for a better denier variant of your tents to be released? Thank you.
Yes, the specs are correct – 15D for the flysheet and 20D for the groundsheet. These are lightweight yet proven fabrics, often used in ultralight tents, and were chosen to keep the Gökotta as light as possible without compromising weather protection.
For extra reassurance on rough or wet ground, we offer dedicated footprints that provide an additional protective layer beneath the tent.
We do have new tents on the way, but they follow the same ultralight design. That said, we're open to expanding into more rugged, all-round models in the future.
