Highlander Forces 2

£65.00

The Highlander Forces 2 2-person tent is part of Highlander’s specialist Military range of outdoor products. It is the heaviest tent here, but it does come in at the lower end of the price range. It might be good enough for the forces, but is it good enough for a hill-walker stepping out from civvy street to the hills?   ...

Wild Country Trisar

£190.00

This two-person tent from Wild Country is heavy but tough, and still well within the sort of weight two people would want to carry. It goes up remarkably easily (inner-first), and, due to the parallel sides, is big enough to move around in without collisions with your companion. There’s a decent-sized porch, too.

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 ...
