Gelert Mongoose 2

£50.00

We all like our own space and our own front door, and that applies when camping. The Gelert Mongoose 2 2-person tent has a porch and entrance on each side, so there is no need to clamber over your mate to go for a pee! This tent pitches inner-first, and the inner can be used on its own in hot ...

Coleman Cobra 2 2011

£70.00

Coleman is perhaps best-known for its range of camping stoves and fuel, along with its family range of tents and sleeping bags. But the brand also makes a few great little backpacking tents – the Cobra 2 being the smallest and lightest. The price is instantly attractive, but so is the design, thanks to the provision of porches on both ...

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.

Gelert Apex 2 2011

£100.00

The tunnel is a classic tent design that has been proven as ideal for backpacking since the 1980s and while perhaps less fashionable today, the two-pole tunnel still provides many benefits. The Gelert Apex 2 boasts a large front porch and is an outer-pitched-first design unlike many modern tunnel tents that are pitched inner-first. DesignThe Gelert Apex 2 has just ...

MSR E-Wing 2011

£125.00

MSR stands for Mountain Safety Research, suggesting a ‘belt and braces’ approach; but ‘lightweight and performance’ are probably more apt. The E-Wing takes the classic simple tarp rectangle and aims to add a little extra protection. DesignThe MSR E-Wing has a very basic design. It’s essentially just a large fabric sheet with the only detailing on the main body being ...

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 ...

Aztec Esquina

£130.00

This extremely stable semi-geodesic tent from Aztec, which is light to carry, pitches really easily (inside and outside together) and has just about enough room for two for shorter backpacking trips. Good ventilation, courtesy of mesh panels and two-way zips, and well built. Looks good, too.

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 ...

Vango Ultralight 200 tent (2008)

£150.00

ReviewThis ultralight tent is an incredibly stable design and it is also very light as it is only a single-skin model, but there is a surprising amount of space inside. It pitches very easily too. Once erected, the external door gives direct access to the inner living area, as there is no porch. The headroom easily allows two to sit ...

Lightwave G1 ION

£180.00

This 2-person backpacking tent weighs 2235g, and you get a lot of tent for the weight, while the price of only £180 makes it exceptionally appealing too. It is built around a 3-pole geodesic configuration, which is the most stable and spacious design. It is pitched inner-first with colour-coded poles slipping easily through sleeves around the outside of the inner ...

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.

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 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 ...

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.
