Vango Spectre 200

£90.00

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.

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 ...
