Berghaus Peak 2.1 2011

£120.00

Berghaus is best-known for its rucksacks and waterproofs, but the company has also designed a range of tents in conjunction with Blacks that are sold exclusively through Blacks stores. The Berghaus Peak 2.1 is a dome design with a large porch. It is not the lightest tent here, but it is certainly the most spacious. DesignDomes are perhaps less popular ...

Hilleberg Soulo 2011

£530.00

The Hilleberg Soulo had been designed as an all-season one-person shelter that will work in the worst of conditions while maintaining good living comfort inside.

Robens Mythos Solo 2011

The new Mythos Solo is a departure from Robens’ usual tunnel and geodesic designs. It’s a well-thought-out one-person tent and the jointed, multi-sectioned pole assembly clips on externally, making pitching quick and easy with the inner and fly attaching as one onto the pole. There are plenty of pegging points and there are numerous guy points, so although the Mythos ...

The North Face Mica 1 2011

£210.00

The The North Face Mica 1 pitches inner-first, but the poles are colour-coded and use a simple but effective clipping system, so the inner goes up easily and the flysheet attaches at the end points of the hubbed pole assembly for a quick pitch. There are enough pegging points to make a secure pitch and there are guy points on ...

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.

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 ...

MSR Hubba HP 2009

£250.00

The MSR Hubba HP is a very light and small-packing tent. It’s an inner-pitched-first design with a multi-section, hubbed pole assembly that clips onto the inner very quickly. It’s then easy to move it to a spot you like before you add the outer and peg it down. The groundsheet is very waterproof and although the outer only has a ...

Blacks Octane 1 2009

£150.00

The Blacks Octane 1 tent is a great package for the price. The stuffsack has the instructions sewn in, and there’s a spares pack with a pole repair sleeve, various fabric patches, seam sealer and a coil of spare guy cord. Many of the tents in the test have a similar set up, but none is so comprehensive. The tent ...

GoLite Xanadu 1 2009

£250.00

The GoLite Xanadu 1 is a small-packing, lightweight and simple tent. Although it’s a single-skin tent it has all the cooking and gear storage advantages of a regular tent, thanks to its huge porch.
