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 4/10How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 4: A bit below average.
Wild Country's trail weight (tent, fly and poles) is 2.14 kg, in the 2.0–2.69 kg band; 2.41 kg with pegs, lines and sacks.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 8/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.
Flysheet is 4,000 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) 7/10Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 7: Better than most.
Estimate from maker's specs
Packed size
From maker's figures 3/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Wild Country's packed size is 34 x 22 x 22 cm: 3.1416 x 11 x 11 x 34 = 12,924 cm³, so 12.92 L, in the 10–14.9 L band. Some shops list 34 x 18 cm (about 8.7 L, the next band up), so we use Wild Country's own page.
In short
Good for
- Two people on a budget who want a tunnel tent with a 4,000 mm fly
- Duke of Edinburgh groups and first-time wild campers on UK summer to autumn trips
- Sharing the load: 2.14 kg is about 1.1 kg each
Strengths
- Trail weight of 2.14 kg and a 4,000 mm HH flysheet over a 5,000 mm groundsheet
- Fully sealed seams, and fly and inner pitch together
- Half-mesh inner door and extra mesh vents for condensation
- Large porch for kit
- Solution-dyed, PFC-free flysheet and recycled inner and floor
Weaknesses
- No independent hands-on reviews of this version found, so wind, pitching and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Wild Country doesn't publish the inner floor size; the pitched width is only 100 cm, which looks tight for two wide mats, but that is unconfirmed
- One door and one porch, so one person climbs past the other
- Rated 3-season only
- Packs to 12.9 L, bulkier than similar-weight tents
