Terra Nova Bivi Tarp 2011

£200.00

Terra Nova has a history in expedition and mountain tents, but as the holder of the Guinness World Record for the world’s lightest tent with the 560g Laser Ultra 1, the brand is no stranger to lightweight shelters. They recently added several tarp models to their range, and the Bivi Tarp is something a little different. DesignThe Terra Nova Bivi ...

Exped Scout Tarp Extreme 2011

£165.00

Exped kit tends to be robust, functional and ready for the worst of conditions. Expeditions need low weight too, and this tarp has a good balance between all these points, as well as being a multi-person shelter. DesignThe Exped Scout Tarp Extreme has the familiar plain rectangular outline of a tarp, but it’s actually quite complex. The edges have regularly ...

Macpac Microlight 2011

£250.00

The Macpac Microlight is a long-standing, reliable design that is made tough for extended trips into the wilderness. Pitching is simple with a single pole that slips into a single-ended pole sleeve. Pegging out smoothes the low-profile shape even more to create a wide footprint that is very good in the wind, while multiple guy points add further stability and ...

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 ...

Vango Force Ten Helium 100 2011

£190.00

The Vango Force Ten Helium 100 is a proven one-person tent design that stands up well to the worst of UK weather.

Vango Nitro 200 2009

£200.00

Vango has a wide range of low-priced tents that compete on virtually equal footing with those costing twice as much. The Nitro 200 (like most Vango tents) benefits from the Tension Band System to add extra stability. A weight of only 2300g coupled with good dimensions and that all-important price tag of £200 makes this a strong competitor. DesignThe ...

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 ...

The Macpac Microlight tent is a strong, reliable design, made for extended trips into the wilderness. It pitches easily with a single pole that slips into a single-ended pole sleeve for quick single-handed pitching.

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.

The North Face Vario 23 tent (2008)

£245.00

ReviewThis is a massive ultralight tent for the weight and it is ideal for two campers (most other very lightweight tents are really one-person tents that you can squeeze two into). But this is also incredibly stable. It is a single-skin design to save weight and it pitches very easily with poles being clipped to the outside of the tent ...

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. The poles slip through colour-coded sleeves to make pitching easy, and ladder-lock adjustment around the base ensures the flysheet ...

Robens Cloud 2

£150.00

The Cloud 2 is a 2-person tent that’s very easy to put up as it is an inner-pitched-first design with the poles clipping to the outside of the inner. The fly goes over top, and a scattering of hand-friendly pegs finish the job. Ladder-lock webbing adjusters make it easy to tighten the fly, even on uneven ground. There is one ...

The North Face Rock 22

£150.00

For two campers there is nothing better than a 2-person tent with lots of space in both the inner and the porch areas, and that is exactly what the Rock 22 provides. The tent is pitched inner-first with clips linking the outside of the inner to the two poles, after which the fly goes over top, while colour-coding and ladder-lock ...

Mountain Hardwear Viperine 2

£200.00

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 ...

The North Face Spectrum 23

£225.00

The Spectrum is a 2-person sub-2kg tent that saves weight by ditching the inner and relying on its design to keep out the condensation and rain. There’s loads of ventilation in the roof and at each end to allow airflow and hopefully minimise condensation. This shelter can also withstand 135mph winds, which the manufacturers claim is far in excess of ...

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 ...

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. The outer goes over the top, and ladder lock webbing clips make adjustment very easy. To allow variable peg placements the webbing tabs around the base have a ...

Vango Ultralight 200

£150.00

This is a very unusual design of 2-person sub-2kg tent yet it benefits from incredible stability and a surprising amount of living space. It is a single-skin tent that pitches far more easily than appearances would suggest. Once erected, the external door gives direct access to the inner living area, as there is no porch. The headroom easily allows two ...

The Trisar was discontinued several years ago but was brought back under the new Wild Country banner for 2005. It is 3-pole geodesic design, so it is very stable and very spacious. It is pitched inner-first with ...

Vango Colorado 600

£200.00

This family tent from Vango is huge, with a tall and spacious dome-shaped living area and tunnel extensions for sleeping compartments. It’s a bit fiddly to put up, but would make a wonderful base for longer trips. Plenty of windows, skylights and vents make it feel light and airy inside.
