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 5/10How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
The only weight published is the total of 1.9 kg (no separate minimum), in the 1.5–1.99 kg band.
Rain protection
Estimate from maker's specs: maker's season rating (no waterproof figure published) 5/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
Estimate from maker's specs
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
From maker's figures 7/10Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 7: Better than most.
The 'bedroom' is 230 x 120 cm = 2.76 m² (length x width), ÷ 2 people = 1.38 m² each, in the 1.35–1.59 band.
Packed size
From maker's figures 8/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 8: Clearly better than most.
Packs to 44 cm long x 12 cm across: 3.1416 x 6 x 6 x 44 = 4,976 cm³, so 4.98 L, in the 4–6.9 L band.
In short
Good for
- Cyclists and walkers who want a 1.9 kg double-skin tent that packs to 44 x 12 cm
Strengths
- 1.9 kg for a two-person double-skin tent
- Packs to 44 x 12 x 12 cm (about 5 L)
- Fully sealed outer seams and a coated floor
- Entrance with a double mesh door and two ventilation openings for airflow
Weaknesses
- The shops give one 3,000 mm waterproof figure without saying whether it is the fly or the floor
- Only sold at Cotswold Outdoor and Snow+Rock (Ayacucho is their own brand)
- Fibreglass poles are heavier and less strong than aluminium
- The listing describes one entrance with a double mesh door, so the second person climbs over the first
- No independent test found, so wind, pitching and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
