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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

£210.00

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.

Vango Apex 200 (2013)

£200.00

The Vango Apex 200 is intended as a lightweight, compact option for the adventurer looking for an open and easily accessible tent, so it tips the scales at 1722g, which is instantly impressive. The inner and fly pitch in one with a single pole sliding through a sleeve around the outside of the fly, and then a second transverse pole ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

First test: Fjällräven Akka Endurance (2013)

£495.00

There is no such thing as bad camping weather; you just need the right tent. To make its Akka tents even better for coping with 4-season conditions, Fjällräven has developed a new triple ripstop fabric. This fabric is extra-strong, yet it’s light enough that when used to make a hugely spacious tent, the resulting shelter is light enough to be ...

First test: Eureka! El Cap 2 SUL (2012)

£460.00

It’s easy to make a tent lightweight by trimming its dimensions and keeping its features to a minimum. What is far more challenging is making a lightweight tent that is also a joy to use, has plenty of room inside and can stand up to mountain weather. The Eureka! El Cap 2 SUL tent weighs 2367g, although the manufacturer’s website ...

First test: Hilleberg Anjan 3 (2012)

£525.00

‘Considered quality’ is the phrase that perhaps best summarises Hilleberg. In its 40 years the Swedish tentmaker has produced a relatively small run of designs, but few have failed to become the most desirable examples of their kind. The Nallo and Akto models in particular have become classics –products effortlessly right, light and built to last for life. Designs over ...

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 ...

Robens Star 2 (2012)

£150.00

The Robens Star 2 is the two-person version of the Star 1, and it pitches equally as easy with just one pole needed to be fitted as the four corner poles are preassembled and just require webbing to be tensioned. The tent is pitched outer-first, so you can keep the inner dry easily even when pitching in the rain; also, ...

Marmot Limelight 2P (2012)

£210.00

The Marmot Limelight 2P is an inner-pitched-first dome with a third transverse pole across the top to give extra headroom and to create more vertical side walls. Pitching is very easy, thanks to colour-coded poles and neat plastic mouldings that allow you to clip the inner to the poles. Once the inner is pitched the fly goes over the top ...

Wild Country Zephyros 2 (2012)

The Wild Country Zephyros 2 is the big brother to the one-person Zephyros 1, which is a superb little tent for solo backpacking. The two-person version is the same design but the inner is wider and longer. It pitches easily by slipping the single pole through a sleeve around the outside of the flysheet, and there are two vertical poles ...

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 ...

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 ...

Eureka! Wabakimi 2 (2012)

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. Adjustable buckles on the webbing make it easy to tension the fly, and the whole structure is very stable due to the inner-pitch-first crossover pole design. To improve condensation control air is ...

Gram-Counter Gear Litehouse Solo (2012)

The Gram-Counter Gear Litehouse Solo is a single-skin tent with a mesh perimeter to the groundsheet to keep the bugs at bay while still allowing plenty of airflow. It weighs in at a very respectable 895g for the tent, guy lines and stuffsack, but that is all you get for your money. So you have to add on the price ...

Vaude Power Tokee Ultralight 1P (2012)

The Vaude Power Tokee Ultralight 1P’s popular transverse pole design benefits from Vaude’s unique Power Frame System, which more securely attaches the tent to the pole to reduce movement in the wind. The pole is fastened to clips around the outside of the flysheet with a secondary clip locking the pole in place to prevent movement. Inside the tent there ...

We found it weighed 1490g with tent, poles, pegs, main stuffsack and pole bag, but not the peg bag or the guy lines (which there were not enough pegs to utilise ...

MSR Carbon Reflex 1 (2012)

£325.00

The Carbon Reflex 1 is the lightest double-wall solo tent in the MSR range. Part of the weight saving comes from the use of carbon fibre poles, which are 30 per cent lighter than the aluminium equivalents and also stronger, according to the manufacturers. It is pitched inner-first with just two poles being required to create the inner tent structure, ...

The Obi Elite 1P is Nemo’s lightest poled tent and it makes use of some clever design features too. It is pitched inner-first with the preassembled pole forming a skeleton from which the inner is suspended and then the flysheet drapes over the top. Nemo has extended the ‘bathtub’ groundsheet up the sides, to allow a large cut-out in the ...
