OEX BANDICOOT II (V1)
This 2 man tent was an absolute god send when I bought it. It's quite low profile but very spacious inside and there's great headroom in the porch so in poor conditions, you can still rustle up some goodies and a brew. I've been out in all seasons and some pretty rough conditions and it's never budged, buckled or leaked. It does make me wonder how this stacks up against the likes of the Hilleberg but considering it cost £140 in 2015, it's 11 years of service has more than proven itself. as I mention in the title I got this tent when it was first released and while it's stood the test of time, it's quite a weighty beast in at 3.2kg. whereas the current version weighs half that (1.6kg) while claiming to be just as tough so if I were you, i'd opt for that. It's sad to have retired this from my active gear but i'll get it out on other adventures in the future. |
