Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 1/10How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 1: A real weak point.
Listed weight 3.3 kg, in the 2.7 kg+ band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 7/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 7: Better than most.
Fly 5,000 mm HH is the 3,000 mm+ band (the top band), then one band lower because no groundsheet rating is published.
Wind
Estimate from maker's specs: maker's season rating (fewer than 3 reviews about wind) 5/10How steady it stays in strong wind on open ground. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
No published review says how it copes with wind, so this is an estimate from the maker's season rating.
Space
Estimate from maker's specs: berths and tent shape (no floor area published) 5/10Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
Estimate from maker's specs
Packed size
From maker's figures 4/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 4: A bit below average.
Packs to 50 x 16 x 16 cm, read as a roll 50 cm long and 16 cm across: 3.1416 x 8 x 8 x 50 = 10,053 cm³, so 10.05 L, in the 10-14.9 L band (a box would be 12.8 L, the same band).
In short
Good for
- Budget summer and festival camping for two
- Short, low-level wild camps where weight does not matter
Strengths
- Fly 5,000 mm HH with a tub-style floor
- Semi-geodesic alloy pole frame with tension straps and mesh pole sleeves
- Repair kit included
Weaknesses
- Heavy at 3.3 kg and packs to about 10 L
- Single zipped door and one mesh inner door, so one entry for two people
- Floor waterproof rating and inner floor area are not published
- No season rating from the maker; Amazon lists it as a summer tent, so we treat it as 3 season
- We found no Berghaus spec page, so the spec comes from the Millets, Blacks and GO Outdoors listing
- No independent hands-on review found, so wind, pitching and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
