Product Information

They should also be securely packaged in a sealed box, to ensure the contents are protected during transit.

Chose this solo backpacking tent for the higher arch and large porch, for cooking/chilling out with some shelter - ground mat in porch is a bonus. It can be paired with the OEX Expedition Tarp for additional shelter and storage, or pitched on its own to keep weight and pack size down on fast-paced, multi-day adventures. The OEX Bobcat 1-person Tent is a lightweight and compact shelter for solo campers, for bike packing, multi-day treks, expeditions and wild camping. I was looking at getting a new one man tent recently, and I noticed that I had never reviewed my current one.

Instead of using hooks to secure the inner tent to the baseof the outer I think that clips should of been used so you could pitch the tent all in one Great Little tent for one person - I found only one slight problem with the design. If you have used this product please leave a review, or your comments for other visitors, many thanks! the pole is definitely quite hard to get in to the second loop but this gets better the more you pitch it, instead of forcing it try getting more fabric pushed along the pole and it should work on the second attempt. It's massive and one can easily look outside at the horrendous rain wind snow sleet or whatever and stay dry due to the overhang shelter.

It’s not quite as light as I was hoping but still much lighter than my last tent and it packs down nicely too with space for lots of other things in my rucksack! The option of putting the tent up ,inner and fly together for speed ,or fly first (when two smaller pack sizes are required) could be a big advantage in some situations. The very large storm porch is adjustable and allows the fly door to remain open for maximum ventilation without permitting rain ingress. Doesn’t mean it’s not decent value for what it is, design issues notwithstanding, although I’m not sure an RRP of 180 quid was ever realistic. With a hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm the Bobcat will keep the worst of the British weather at bay, whilst the inner is compact but has more than enough space for a good night's sleep.Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience.

It’s not what I would describe as ‘ultra lightweight’, either, being roughly twice the weight of my similarly sized tent.

On taking it down this morning, I found a bent section in the pole (picture enclosed), gutted, when I thought the tent was so good. My feet touch the end and I have to actively make sure my head is as far up the sleeping area as possible to give myself room.

You do have to be quite forceful with it though so if you doubt your strength maybe look for a different tent!
