This could be more suited to trv/ but I'll try my luck here too.
I'm looking for a tent that I can travel with easily, that is small and relatively light and can attach easily to a backpack
Does anyone have any recommendations, I was looking at pic related, any one have experience with it

Any tent not made for car camping.
What are you looking for exactly?

Number of people?
3 seasons, 4 seasons?
Price? Weight?

A small tent I can attach to my backpack and travel around Europe with in summer(although it would be Sweden/Norway so itll be cold). 2 person would be ideal but it cant be massive or heavy as I would be carrying it around

Go to tarptent and look if there is anything you like.

I would recommand Shelter Jamet it's cheap and light but condensation is a bitch.

If I'm backpacking I dont want to be lugging around a massive tent
Also I plan to go to atleast one festival so I think it can be bigger than 2-2.5m squared

This summer I carried around a double tent, it's not a big deal but you feel like at home in a large tent.
You rather take a lighter sleeping bag although I mess around the southern+ med islands europe only.

Alpkit make good gear. No experience with their tents but I've owned plenty of their other gear.

NFI why you're considering the Ordos 3 rather than the Ordos 2.

it's good gear mate, if you want to go lighter than 1.3kg you're either gonna have to spend big bucks or consider alternatives to a tent, which IMO for the weight saving is hardly worth it in the context of back packing.

I use a Zpacks Solplex. It weights like 15 ounces, you can literally keep it in your pocket, so easy to travel with.

There's absolutely no point bringing a nice tent to a music festival. It will get trashed. Really you don't need a tent unless your going full budget mode and don't want to pay for a hostel. Unless your hiking in the arctic circle in autumn or winter, you only need a cheap decathlon 2 person tent. 30 USD and your done. It's a nice two layer tent that somehow survived despite me taking it to the arctic circle in summer.

That Alpkit tent is trash. It will fail on you quickly because its a chinese shit-sewn tent purchased from near slave-labor factories and a neat logo is then placed on it from Alpkit.

I have several items they "make" and they are all garbage that have at least one issue each or have broken within a month of light use.

They also have no honor (honour) for warranties, at least on the stuff I had that broke.

Compared to most other ultralights, it is affordable.

Or you could buy an REI/MEC special for 250 and hope it holds up.

I've been autistically researching tents for the past couple of hours and I came to the conclusion that the Naturehike Cloud UP2 was the best travel tent. It's a chink copy of a Big Agnes Fly Creek that retails for 300 dorras but it's apparently a pretty damn good copy.

I´d suggest a Northface Stormbreak 1, it´s pretty cheap (130$ + ~15$ more to replace the godawful pegs it comes with), durable and has an ok weight for a freestanding Tent. Only downside is that it´s pretty tiny, I´d guess with 6" I´m pretty much max size for it.

given your budget check out sixmoon designs, tarp tent, or even bear paw wilderness.

lmao you can get a sub 2lb shelter for two people for way less than $400. Cottage manufacturers too well crafted stuff.

Sounds like you're looking for a pyramid tent.
They're super light, and legit stormproof true 4 season.

You have to bring a groundsheet since it's floorless which can bother some people but man I love it. A good pyramid tent would run you around $250 maybe a little more or less depending on dealz.

I have the Talus which is kinda the same and it's a really good tent so I do recommend TNF tents and bags. Even if their clothes got shitty because they were hijacked by mall teens.

I think I got these. Generally speaking, anything small and not a straight stee rodl is a substantial improvement
