Vaude Terratrio 2P (2013)

£175.00

The Vaude Terratrio 2P uses the same poles as the popular Vaude Taurus 1 but the porch area is 60 per cent larger, thanks to it being squared off at the front. The tent uses polyester, with a printed hexagonal ripstop effect, but this isn’t as durable as a real ripstop fabric. Like the Taurus 1 the Terratrio is extremely ...

The award-winning Laser series of lightweight backpacking tents from Terra Nova has been extending into the brand’s more affordable Wild Country range, with the Zephyros 2 Lite being, as the name suggests, a lighter version of the standard Zephyros 2, at £150 and 1715g.

Coleman Phad 2 X2 (2013)

£200.00

The Coleman Phad 2 X2 is a really interesting tent: it’s a three-pole semi-geodesic design, so it’s very stable; but it also has a roomy porch with multiple entry points, so it’s incredibly liveable. Pleasingly, it came in a side entry bag with drawcords and compression straps, rather than an end entry stuffsack, which made it far easier to pack ...

Nordisk Halland PU (2013)

£200.00

Nordisk tests its tents in a wind tunnel and the Halland PU can withstand winds of 32.5 metres per second, which is 11 on the Beaufort scale: ‘violent storm’. The fabric is a heavier and more durable polyurethane (PU) fabric than many lighter tents, you get plenty of guy lines, and the flysheet hugs the ground. The basic outline is ...

Jack Wolfskin Termite II XT (2013)

£220.00

The Jack Wolfskin Termite II XT is a big, spacious tent that pitches inner-first very easily as the poles are pre-assembled, and you just link the sections and away you go, which is easier than having three separate poles to fit. With the inner up, the chunky pegs are ideal for holding it down, and the fly goes over the ...

Marmot Limelight FC 2P (2013)

£210.00

The Marmot Limelight FC 2P has a ‘full canopy’ rather than the mesh inner tent it had in 2012. This reduces airflow, which is ideal for year-round use as it means it’s less draughty, but it is heavier than last year. The tent is pitched inner-first with two main poles, then a third pole is fitted across the top to ...

Robens Lodge 2 (2013)

£200.00

The Robens Lodge 2 is a big, spacious dome-style tent that benefits from a short transverse ridge pole across the top to provide a little more headroom at the porch and an entrance on each side of the tent. But despite its size, this tent was easy to pitch. It goes up inner-first with two poles and then the transverse ...

Eureka! Wabakimi 2 (2012)

£200.00

The Eureka! Wabakimi 2 is an inner-pitched-first design with just two poles needed to create the spacious inner, over which you toss the flysheet with colour-coded attachment points.

Nordisk Pasch PU (2012)

£170.00

The Pasch PU is described as a one-person tent by Nordisk, but it is marketed in the UK as a lightweight two-person tent for events such as the Original Mountain Marathon (OMM). So it is pretty lightweight at 1930g, but there is a nylon version – the Pasch Si – that is only 1740g, if your priority is weight. It ...

Karrimor X-Lite X2 SG (2012)

£180.00

The SG in the Karrimor X-Lite X2 SG’s name signifies that this is a semi-geodesic design, which means the poles cross one another twice for extra stability, making this tent particularly suitable for wilder conditions. It is pitched outer-first with poles slipping easily through sleeves around the outside of the fly. The inner is then attached inside and can be ...

Vaude Terratrio 2P (2012)

£175.00

The Vaude Terratrio 2P is based on the ever-popular Vaude Taurus 1 2P, but it has a 60 per cent larger porch area due to the squared-off profile at the front of the porch, as well as a different fabric that is more tear-resistant due to its hexagonal ripstop construction. This results in a tent that is more spacious than ...

Wild Country Zephyros 1 2011

£150.00

The Terra Nova Laser Competition has won multiple awards for being one of the best lightweight one-person backpacking tents around. But while its weight of just 930g is appealing, its price tag of £320 is far less enticing. So Terra Nova has released the Zephyros 1 under its Wild Country brand, promising the same living space as the Laser Competition, ...

MSR Fast Stash 2011

£225.00

Tarps are a great idea in theory: they promise a simple shelter while adding little to your burden. Sadly, this theory trips up when confronted by good old British weather and the winged biting pests that plague our hills at the height of the wild camp season. The common solution is to use a bivvy bag for added protection, but ...
