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, ...

Lightwave T2 Ultra 2009

£450.00

Lightwave has a broad range of tents and their common theme is that they are inner-pitched-first. This has benefits and drawbacks. Another (unique) feature of Lightwave tents is that they are modular – so you can choose versions of the same basic design.

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.

The problem with most tunnel tents is that the shape is so tapered that there is limited usable space. The Viperine gets around this problem by using a unique pole configuration, which provides incredible inner space far exceeding that of similar designs. Pitching is easy, thanks to the clear instructions and the hand-friendly pegs. It is inner-pitched-first with the flysheet ...

Blacks Octane 2

£150.00

For unpredictable UK weather an outer-pitched-first design is my preferred choice of tent as you can pitch (erect) and strike (take down) it in any weather and stay reasonably dry, so full marks to Blacks straight away with the Octane 2.
