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.
Neither Tiso nor GO Outdoors' current listing (code 791814) publishes a weight. GO Outdoors' older Coyote III listing (code 350976, a different barcode and pack size, now out of stock) gives 4.3 kg and UKCampsite 4.6 kg; any figure from 2.7 kg up is the same band, band 1 (1 out of 10), and a three-person, three-pole tunnel packing to 23 L will not come in lighter, but the 4.3 kg is not published for this exact listing.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 8/10How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.
Tiso gives fly 5,000 mm (3,000+ band, 5) and floor 4,000 mm, over 2,000 mm, so no point is taken off. The maker's figure, not re-tested. 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 1/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 1: A real weak point.
No litres published. The current listing's 52 x 28 x 16 cm (Tiso, GO Outdoors, Millets, Blacks) is a box of 52 x 28 x 16 = 23,296 cm3, so about 23.3 L, in the 15 L+ band. GO Outdoors' older listing gives 50 x 30 x 14 cm (21 L), the same band. It comes in twin carry bags to split between two people.
In short
Good for
- A roomy three-person tunnel tent for backpacking and campsite camping where a big porch matters more than weight
- Two people with a lot of kit
- Wet-weather camping: OEX gives the fly 5,000 mm and the floor 4,000 mm
Strengths
- Fly 5,000 mm and groundsheet 4,000 mm hydrostatic head, per OEX
- Three-pole tunnel with a large vestibule that has an integrated footprint
- Twin carry bags let two people split the load
- 9.5 mm and 8.5 mm aluminium Endura poles, and Tiso lists a 10 minute pitching time
- Tiso buyers describe it as easy to pitch and steady in high wind
Weaknesses
- Packs to 52 x 28 x 16 cm, a large bundle for backpacking
- One Tiso buyer said it suits 1 or 2 people and that 3 would be a squeeze
- One Tiso buyer wished the main bag had a handle or strap
- OEX is GO Outdoors' own brand, sold only through GO Outdoors, Blacks, Millets and Tiso
