About this deal

Despite the snug nature, my partner and I could quite happily lie and read books, or play small travel games after sunset without too many contortions, but it’s not really a tent to hang out in. Horizontal activities only, so I suggest practicing your yoga before trying anything too romantic. Likewise if you often find yourself in camp sheltering from insects of an evening, you may be better off opting for one you can more comfortably sit up in. After a night of heavy rain and a bit of experimenting with a hose pipe I can confirm than the tent is pretty waterproof.

Extraneous space on the inside is limited. There’s a small porch area either side, with room for shoes or small items, but if you’re planning on bringing your baggage in with you it will have to go under your feet. I suggest leaving it on the bike, other than valuables. To summarise it is a great little tent and stands up to wind and driving rain that I have experienced. Materials: Flysheet - Stormtex P4000 FR (4000mm HH) / Groundsheet - Ripstop PU Polyester (6000mm HH)

Condensation is managed with a mesh panel in the top half of the inner door and at the end of the tent. Updated for SS21 with a new colour and adjusters at the bottom of the end poles for easier pitching.

Trail Magazine Best Value Award June 2021; “Superb price, weatherproofing, tried and tested design, sturdy construction”.The Wild Country Zephyros Compact 2 is a very snug 2 person tent. I am reluctant to use the term canvas coffin, but if you’re prone to claustrophobia then a tent with a higher canopy might be more worthy of your consideration. As a Cornish boy with a father from the coalfields of South Wales, I’m never happier than when crammed into a small dark space. Top to toe you should have ample room for sleeping, and head to head is perfectly feasible if you’re more familiar with your tent mate.

Its been around 3 months since I last ventured out on the bike 😯☹️. A mixture of illness, starting one new job, then another, more illness and a bit of Christmas mixed in. In other respects the Zephyros 1 Lite is much like the Laser 1. There is room to sit up inside and store gear and cook undercover – though care is needed with the latter (a low profile stove is best). Short poles at each end lift the flysheet a little for better headroom when lying down and also aid stability. The inner tent has a half mesh door and mesh panels at each end for ventilation. There’s no vent on the flysheet though so if the door zip has to be fully closed moist air can’t escape. Separation between the inner and outer is good though so avoiding condensation on the flysheet isn’t difficult.As it was my final day staying in the Cairngorms it was time for a ride up to Ryvoan Bothy, via that weirdly green Lochan, can never remember the name!
