Nemo OBI Elite 1P 2011

£400.00

The Nemo OBI Elite 1P one-person tent packs in two halves using a compression dry-sack and separate pole bag, which is a good space saver. It’s free-standing and pitches inner-first, but the single Y-shaped hub-jointed pole attaches easily with clips and the flysheet is on quickly. There’s good internal space for lying down and sitting up; and with a lot ...

Helsport Ringstind 1 2011

£390.00

The Helsport Ringstind 1 is a quick-pitch one-person tent design with just a single pole that has an ingeniously simple attachment method. This does take a little practice to get perfect as there are multiple guy lines at each end, but once mastered it is great. The guys at the ends and at the centre pole plus the numerous pegging ...

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 ...

Vaude Power Lizard UL 2010

£350.00

Is light always right? It’s easy to make a tent lighter after all. Just make it smaller, ditch the porch and use a single layer of material rather than an inner and an outer. But how light can a tent be if it offers two-person space, a double wall and retains a porch? According to Vaude, the Power Lizard holds ...

Terra Nova Laser Large 1 2009

£370.00

The 1880g Terra Nova Laser Large 1 is the big brother of the Terra Nova Laser Competition, the former Guinness record holder for the lightest two-person tent in the world (the record is now held by the Terra Nova Photon). This pedigree has bred a superlight but large two-person tent that does all it can to shave the grams from ...

Lightwave t0 Ultra XT 2009

£350.00

The Lightwave t0 Ultra XT is a spacious tent, with room inside for you and some gear, and enough height for me to sit at the door and cook in the porch. The porch is its best feature as it’s massive – there is also a version without the extended porch available. I had a fellow camper sit in the ...

More importantly though it also uses trapezoidal baffles for the ultimate in construction methods, so that cold spots are reduced to a minimum. The shell is made from waterproof and breathable Hyvent fabric to help ...

Haglöfs Goga Pro 12 2009

£350.00

The Haglöfs Goga 12 sleeping  bag comes in three sizes to suit people of different sizes. The version tested was the 190, which is the medium-sized bag. But there is a 205 version that is longer and wider, plus a 175 version that is shorter and narrower at the shoulders but still wide at the hips, meaning it should be ...

Mountain Equipment Snowline 2009

£325.00

There’s comfort built in to the Mountain Equipment Snowline sleeping bag, thanks to the EXL system, which allows elastic threads to hold the inner of the bag closer to the body for fewer cold spots. At the foot a ‘shark’s toe’ shape means the top is longer than the base, for added comfort. The sculpted hood fits like a jacket ...

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 ...

MSR Hubba Hubba HP tent (2008)

£320.00

ReviewDescribed as being ‘ultralight without compromise’, the Hubba Hubba HP offers far more space than other tents featured here. It is pitched inner-first with a framework of pre-assembled poles providing a skeleton from which the inner is suspended and which the flysheet cloaks. Ladder-locks allow fast adjustment, and the structure is very stable. There is a porch on each side ...

Crux Torpedo 500

£330.00

One of my most memorable nights in the mountains was back in the Eighties, bivvying on the Dente Blanche high in the Alps, with a sunset over snow-capped peaks stretching to the horizon. In those days I had a rubbish sleeping bag, which quickly became saturated with condensation from my bivvy. It was a very cold and soggy night! At ...

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). The beauty of the tent is that you still get an inner and outer, a three-pole geodesic design ...

Lightwave T1 Ultra

£330.00

This 2-person sub-2kg tent is the high-spec version of the Lightwave T1 Trek, where the materials shave around 400g off the weight. It’s a two-pole tunnel but the poles have a precurved arched shape, known as ARCHitektur, which is said to improve stability. I also like the fact that you get a proper instruction manual. It’s pitched inner-first with colour-coded ...
