Alpkit Kangri 2012

£300.00

Alpkit has become known for producing excellent kit at excellent prices thanks to its business model of producing a small, select range of products that are then supplied direct to the customer via the Alpkit website.

The North Face Tadpole 23DL 2010

Terra Nova Superlite Voyager 2010

£370.00

The Terra Voyager has been a classic design for many years, but in 2009 Terra Nova created a superlight version that stripped away a third of the weight while maintaining the classic three-pole geodesic design that delivers great stability and space. At just 1530g it makes you wonder why other tents need to be quite so heavy. DesignInitial impressions are ...

Terra Nova Solar Elite 2010

£350.00

This has become an annual event. Another year, another lighter Terra Nova tent. At a quoted weight of 865g, Terra Nova says the Solar Elite has ‘the lightest pack weight of any self-supporting tent’. Terra Nova makes lighter tents and shelters than this, but it is the phrase ‘self-supporting’ that makes the difference here. This means either the inner or ...

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 ...

Mountain Hardwear Helion 2 tent (2008)

£300.00

ReviewThis ultralight tent has a very good packed size, thanks to the poles being made of shorter sections than most. The tent is a 3-pole geodesic design too, so it will be able to withstand the wind much better than tunnels or single-hoop options. It is pitched inner-first with poles being threaded through eyelets on the inner, and the pole ...

Lightwave g2 ioniX tent

£290.00

You can’t knock Lightwave’s DNA. The company was set up by Carol McDermott, who is ex-Berghaus, and the founder of Crux. Functionality and quality have been his hallmarks – but do space, solidity and lightweight really mix?I took the g2 ioniX for a night in the Coniston Fells. The tent is a variation on the g2 Ion, which is a ...

Marmot Grid 2 review

£250.00

No matter what the weather forecast says, a regular camper in the UK knows that it could rain just as they are unpacking their tent or just as they are about to strike camp after a dry night. It’s this ‘interesting weather’ that makes outer-pitched-first tents ideal for British conditions, while a healthy dose of stability comes in useful 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 ...

Terra Nova Voyager Superlite

£330.00

This 2-person sub-2kg tent is a lightened version of the Voyager, a classic 3-pole geodesic that defines its class. By lightening the fabrics to those used in the brand’s Laser range, Terra Nova has reduced the weight by 400g (18 per cent).

Big Agnes Seedhouse SL2

£215.00

This is an amazingly spacious 2-person sub-2kg tent for the weight. The secret of the success is the incredibly thin materials, which allow you to 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 the inner is suspended. The outer ...

MSR Stormking

£640.00

This is an incredibly spacious and stable 4-person tent that is far easier to pitch than its appearance might suggest. The trick is that all the poles are the same length and each slides through a continuous sleeve on the inner. So pitching is very easy and the flysheet goes over the top where it is attached to the base ...

Marmot Halo 4P

£400.00

This 4-person family tent pitched inner-first with poles slipping easily through mesh sleeves around the inner. The flysheet is then draped over the top and clipped in place with ladder lock webbing adjusters. This is very easy and fast to pitch, and creates a very stable structure. I particularly like the layout of having a porch and entrance at each ...

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.
