OEX Lightweight Jackal II Tent for 2 People with Porch Storage Area, 2 Man Tent, Ideal for Backpacking and Wild Camping, Camping Equipment, Green, One Size

Product Information

The OEX Phoxx 2 is incredibly cheap for what you’re getting and for those starting out with long-distance backpacking, its durability and stability make it more forgiving in windy conditions, meaning you can pitch it in some fairly exposed areas should you find yourself struggling to find a more suitable campsite. I was used to the setup which is exactly the same as the Phoxx 1, so it was a clear choice without offending the wallet. The inner door also has an extra zip and unfastening this reveals a large inner mesh panel which makes this tent perfect for warmer weather too. Quick and easy to pitch, the OEX Jackal II features an integrated footprint for the large vestibule, to keep your pack and boots safe and dry overnight.

OEX Lightweight Jackal II Tent for 2 People with Porch

There is a spacious porch for cooking and admin and it has a built in groundsheet which is attached to the inner.You can roll this away if you want, but I found it really useful to have a nice dry spot for storing boots and our bag. The reason for this is so that during windy conditions you can pitch with the back of the tent towards the bad weather.

The flysheet is very waterproof (rated to 5000mm) with a fire-retardant coating which will self-extinguish if exposed to flame. The inner storage pockets are half way along the sidewall and not in the corners by your head, like you find on most other tents. Build quality is excellent and it has so far weathered apocalyptic rain in the Trossachs, a fairly *interesting* thunderstorm down in Snowdonia and some North Wales coastal winds which were not kind.This means that you can not only split the tent between 2 people, you can also stash them on the outside of your backpacks without the need to using another dry bag. Its simple tunnel design, robust flysheet and groundsheet and aluminium poles make it tough enough to protect you from stormy weather. For a while now I’ve been thinking about getting something a bit more suited to the Cumbrian climate.
