Vango Spectre 200

£90.00

The Vango Spectre 200 2-person tent is designed to be a minimalist shelter with a minimalist weight and minimalist price – without compromising on quality. The result is a very respectable feature set that includes metal alloy poles, rather than the fibreglass poles that are used in many other low-priced tents. Like most Vango tents, the Spectre also features the ...

Vango Banshee 200 2011

£110.00

Vango has for many years dominated the market for practical backpacking tents that are also very well-priced. The Banshee 200 has been a particularly successful and popular model, which also forms part of Vango’s Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Recommended Kit list. At just 2kg, the Vango Banshee 200 is the lightest tent in our test. DesignThe Vango Banshee 200 is ...

Berghaus Snowdonia 2.1 2010

£130.00

I’m not sure what has surprised me most here – the fact that Berghaus has designed its first ever tents, or that they are being made under licence by the Blacks Leisure Group and will only be available in the UK from Blacks and Millets stores. Either way, what is most important is how the products perform.The Berghaus Snowdonia 2.1 ...

Vaude Taurus 1

£145.00

This 2-person tent is a modern classic. The Taurus 1 now has extra poles at the foot for more space and stability. Meanwhile the rest of the tent is the same tried and trusted design. Pitching is outstandingly easy, thanks to the unique external frame design and the addition of adjustable pegging points. The tent is reasonably stable too. Like ...

The North Face Roadrunner

£200.00

For many campers this 2-person backpacking tent this will be the best choice. It is pitched inner-first, although you can pitch the flysheet on its own. The dome shape is very good at fending off winds from many directions. Inside you get acres of space with more useable headroom than some others in this class. You also get two entrances ...

Mountain Equipment AR Ultralight II tent (2008)

£200.00

ReviewThis is a very light tent, and you can save a further 156g by ditching the pole set and using a pair of trekking poles instead. It pitches outer-first with two vertical poles supporting the outer, and then the inner is suspended from inside. The wedge-shaped design creates a reasonable amount of space to sit up under the ridge and ...

Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 2009

£210.00

The Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 tent is freestanding, with a single hub-jointed pole system. This is simple to set up and throw the flysheet over to keep the rain off if you’re in a hurry. The first time I pitched it was in the dark with no instructions, and it looked fine in the morning. Inside there’s plenty of room ...

Vaude Hogan Ultralight 1 2009

£210.00

The Vaude Hogan Ultralight 1 tent feels instantly user-friendly. Pitching is straightforward as the Y-shaped pole assembly clips in easily, giving a freestanding structure. Although it pitches inner-first, it’s fast, so pitching and striking in wet weather isn’t as much of an issue as it could be. The pitching instructions are sewn in to the stuffsack, which is handy. I ...

Big Agnes Seedhouse SL2 tent (2008)

£215.00

ReviewThis is an amazingly spacious ultralight tent for the weight. The secret of its success is the incredibly thin materials (you can see the grass through the groundsheet for example), while the inner tent is completely made from mesh! It pitches inner-first with the poles forming an external skeleton from which you suspend the inner. The outer goes over the ...

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. The mesh inner walls ventilate well, but aren’t too warm (OK in summer). Some may find this tent a little too cosy for long trips.

Mountain Equipment Dragonfly

£290.00

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. The double-door design is great for keeping the wind out. Perhaps a little narrow at the foot for longer trips.

Vaude Power Odyssee XT 2009

£375.00

Some of my most sleepless nights outdoors have been when the winds have been so strong that the tent either flattened against my face and sprang back each time a gust swept across, or the tent poles snapped because they were not flexible enough to bend under the pressure of a gust. Either way, high winds can ruin your night.But ...

Hilleberg Soulo 2009

£455.00

The Hilleberg Soulo tent is built to withstand the worst weather and it comes with features to let the occupant sit out the storm in reasonable comfort. It pitches as one, with externally attached poles. It’s free-standing, but has a dozen peg and double guy points all the way round for security (in a raging blizzard it hardly flinched). There’s ...
