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 is 4.24 kg (no separate trail weight is published), in the 2.7 kg+ band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 8/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.
Flysheet is 3,000 mm HH, in the 3,000 mm+ band, and the 5,000 mm groundsheet is over 2,000 mm, so there is no deduction. The printed figure alone gives 8 at most: a 9 or 10 needs 3 reviews that say it stays dry in real storms.
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
Estimate from maker's specs: tent weight (no packed size published) 1/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 1: A real weak point.

What reviewers say (out of 10)
Ratings marked * are from reviews and are not part of the trip score. They are reviewers' scores, not our own measurements. How we score
Pitching*
Reviewers' average 8/10How quickly and easily one person can pitch it, including in wind and rain.
3 reviews on pitching, e.g. "The Grampian 2 was out of the bag and pitched in only a few minutes, including attaching the inner tub style bedroom.".
Condensation*
Estimate: only 1 review about condensation (fewer than the 3 we need, so never above 8) 8/10How dry it stays inside on still, damp nights; higher is drier.
1 review on condensation, e.g. "a lot of Jew sat on the outer fly inside absolutely bone dry".
In short
Good for
- Two people who want a geodesic tent with a 3,000 mm fly and accept a 4 kg+ weight
- Shorter, mostly car-supported or low-level trips in wind and rain
- Campers who want two doors and front and rear vents
Strengths
- Geodesic alloy-pole frame with tension straps (GO Outdoors' description)
- 3,000 mm HH flysheet over a 5,000 mm tub-style groundsheet
- Two entrances and front and rear ventilation
- Colour-coded poles; reviewers pitched it in minutes, outer first, with the inner kept clipped in
- Repair kit and compression sack included
Weaknesses
- Pitching scores 8 from six independent reviews; wind and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores because nobody has tested it in strong wind or reported repeated use
- 4.24 kg is very heavy for two people on foot (score 1 out of 10)
- No packed size or inner floor size is published, so those scores are missing
- Berghaus says all-season but publishes no season rating, so we list it as 3-season
