OEX Lightweight Jackal II Tent for 2 People with Porch Storage Area, 2 Man Tent, Ideal for Backpacking and Wild Camping, Camping Equipment, Green, One Size

Product Information

It’s not as beautifully crafted as my Stratospire 2, but for a budget tent I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. Multiple trips in Dartmoor and Snowdonia National Park which are known for their windiness, as well as the South West Coast Path and the odd garden camp during the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that you can not only split the tent between 2 people, you can also stash them on the outside of your backpacks without the need to using another dry bag. Sturdy design, minimal faff when pitching [enjoyed a good thunderstorm in one recently with no adverse affects!

OEX Jackal II Tent (green) - Millets

The kids are old enough to start hitting the hills now and I wanted something big enough for the 3 of us (and maybe the missus if I can convince her). Our go to tent over the summer has been a big single skinned teepee that I got from Tesco a few years back for the grand sum of 25 quid.The outer fly sheet of all the OEX 2020 tent range is a rather lovely shade of green, that kind of green that helps you blend into the background. Mid February we headed off to the Cairngorm National Park and chose to pitch up at the side of Loch Morlich. There’s a hanging point both in the inner pod and front porch for hanging lights or head torches (that’s what we did).

A recent adventure confirmed this when I awoke with the entire bottom half of my doss bag in a puddle. Waking the next day, our neighbouring mountains had a lot more snow on them than the previous night, and there were flakes on snow in the air around us. Anodised aluminium rings for guy rope tensioners instead of your usual plastic, metal poles, nice thick pegs, anodised loops for the ends of the poles to sit in.The space inside is more useable than other tents I’ve looked at as the footprint is roughly rectangular instead of coffin shaped. With that end being just that little bit lower, it’s a little more aerodynamic and experiences less buffeted by the wind.
