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 ...

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 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.

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.

Golite Eden 1 2011

£250.00

The Golite Eden 1 is different from most single-person tunnel-style tents as it has three poles, but it pitches fast with colour-coding on the poles and webbing adjusters for tensioning. Pegging out is also quick, and the numerous guy points make for great stability. The guy lines attached high on the central pole have a wide range of placement possibilities ...

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 ...

£290.00

USA brand Marmot has realised that what works on that side of the pond does not always work over here, so they have designed the Grid specifically for UK and European conditions.

£295.00

The G20 Trek is a new tent from Lightwave, who have made a great impact since the company was founded in 2002.

Vango Force Ten Helium Superlite 100 2010

£230.00

A bit like the new coalition government, Vango’s plan for easing the burden of carrying a one-person tent is to strip out wasted weight. According to the manufacturer, everything that is good in the classic Vango Force Ten Helium is apparent in the new Helium Superlite, but you now have a new lighter groundsheet and inner tent.

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, ...

GoLite Eden 1 2010

£250.00

GoLite transformed the UK market in 2001 when it made our lightweight gear look decidedly lead-laden. So I’ve come to expect every new GoLite product to be lean on weight, which in turn often results in products being light on comfort too.But the Eden 1 is not the lightest tent around for one person; indeed it is over twice the ...

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 ...
