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 ...

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?   ...

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 ...

Robens Summer Wind

£80.00

How much shelter do you need? Maybe a simple single-skin tent is enough? Use your trekking poles to hold the shelter up, and you get acres of space inside plus plenty of mesh vents to allow good airflow without letting the bugs in. Well, that is exactly what the Robens Summer Wind has been designed to achieve. The big advantage ...

Camp Minima tent (2008)

£90.00

ReviewThe Minima is an extremely lightweight and compact tent when packed. Unwrap it and you get a simple inner-pitched-first design where the colour-coded poles slip effortlessly through sleeves on the inner, upon which the flysheet fits.

Robens Summer Wind

£90.00

This single-skin 2-person sub-2kg tent has been developed for use with trekking poles, which results in this shelter weighing in at only 1400g and having a tiny packed size. Pitching is easy as you just peg out the corners and then fit your trekking poles at each end. Large side vents ensure good airflow, while an extended canopy along each ...

Lafuma Active 2 tent (2008)

£100.00

ReviewA very lightweight tent that pitches very easily as you just slip a couple of poles into the sleeves around the outside of the outer, and a couple of guy lines and pegs finish the task. Ladder-lock adjusters around the base allow easier tensioning too. This is a single-skin tent without a porch, so once you open the outer door ...

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 ...

Alpinus Ararat

£119.00

A sizeable two-person tunnel tent from Alpinus, but one that is fiddly to pitch (inner-first), and which doesn’t seem to hang very well at all, no matter how many different adjustments you make. It has two good-sized porches – room for storing all your kit – and plenty of sleeping space. Ventilates well, too.

GoLite Shangri-La 2 tent (2008)

£120.00

ReviewThis is a lightweight twist on the classic ridge tent. It has no poles, so you have to use trekking poles. Pitching is easy as you just peg out the groundsheet at the corners, clip the flysheet to the same pegs then dive inside to fit a trekking pole at each end. There is room for two, with ample space ...

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 ...

Wild Country Aspect 2 2010

£150.00

Shared lightweight tents require compromise. If you want light weight you have to expect less space for two. If you want headroom then you’re going to have to lug more weight. If you want both, expect a heavy dent in your finances. But then along comes the Wild Country Aspect 2, which at just £150 offers a spacious sleeping area, ...

Marmot EOS 1P

£160.00

The EOS is a 2-person sub-2kg tent that pitches very easily inner-first, thanks to all the poles being interlocked with shock-cords to form one single frame that simply clips to 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.
