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 2.12 kg, in the 2.0–2.69 kg band; 2.27 kg with pegs, lines and sacks. Shops list 2.2 kg and 2.34 kg, in the same band.
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 4/10How much room it takes in your rucksack. 4: A bit below average.
Wild Country's packed size is 32 x 22 x 22 cm: 3.1416 x 11 x 11 x 32 = 12,164 cm³, so 12.16 L, in the 10–14.9 L band. Shops list 32 x 19 cm (about 9.1 L, which would be the next band up), so we use Wild Country's own page.
In short
Good for
- Two people who want a tunnel tent with a 4,000 mm fly for wet UK spring and autumn trips
- Wild camps where two people share the weight, about 1.1 kg each
- Anyone who wants a long porch for rucksacks and boots
Strengths
- Trail weight of 2.12 kg for a 3/4-season tunnel with three poles
- Silicone nylon flysheet rated 4,000 mm HH over a 5,000 mm groundsheet, with taped seams
- Half-mesh inner door and vents to help with condensation
- One long porch for kit, and the fly and inner pitch together
- Recycled, PFC-free fabrics; 8.5 mm alloy poles and 12 alloy pegs in the box
Weaknesses
- No independent hands-on reviews found, so wind, pitching and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Wild Country doesn't publish the inner floor size, so the space score is missing and tall sleepers can't check length
- Only one door and one porch, so one person climbs past the other
- Wild Country rates it 3/4 season (the brand page title says 4-season), so we list it as 3-season until it's tested in snow
- Packs to 12.2 L, a fairly bulky roll for a 2.1 kg tent
