Lightwave G1 Ion

£198.00

The weight and price of this 2-person tent are both great, considering what it offers. It is a 3-pole geodesic configuration, which is the most stable and spacious design. Pitching is easy, thanks to colour-coded poles and ladder-lock adjustment at the base. I liked the fact that the outer comes down close to the ground, to fend off side-driven wind ...

The North Face Tadpole 23

£220.00

This two-person tent from The North Face is lovely and light, perfect for short summer trips. It’s stable, easy to pitch (inner-first) and comes with a compression sack for easy packing and carrying.

This two-person tent from Mountain Equipment is as easy to pitch as any you’ll find, taking less than 10 minutes to erect. It’s big, but also very light, so is perfect for summer backpacking.
