Product Information

Good space internally, easily fitting two. The porch area is a good size too allowing kit storage and even careful cooking/brewing if the weather is a little inclement. All in all, very happy with this. Serious bargain. I think you’d struggle to find a better 3 man tent for even double what I paid for this.

The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first. Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like OEX are of course extremely well known, especially for Weekend Tents. During Covid I’ve been trying to get the kids out the house as much as possible. Bike rides, walks, den building in the woods, wild swimming, we’ve done it all. The tent comes with two carry bags in the main bag, one is with the inner tent plus poles, and the other contains the shell. This is good to have if you want to share the weight with your partners.The inside is more than big enough for me and the sprogs. The missus could squeeze in too for the odd single night adventure, but it’d be a squeeze for prolonged periods. The space inside is more useable than other tents I’ve looked at as the footprint is roughly rectangular instead of coffin shaped. But there is also a large vestibule, again no numbers are given, my estimate is you have around 30 ft² (2.8 m²). So all together this is a lot of space. Yet, the tent is best suited for two people.

OEX Endura poles are made using 7001 aluminium with T6 heat treatment conditioning, for the ultimate tensile strength and high yield propertiesIts simple 'apex' pole design makes it stay sturdy in high wind. The fire retardant, 5000HH rated flysheet will shield you from wind, rain and snow. Klarna's Pay in 3 / Pay in 30 days are unregulated credit agreements.

Regarding the best use & climate, this tent is nicely ventilated so it will work well in a warm environment, but it is almost fully closable and this is useful if you are in a cold place.

There is a spacious porch for cooking and admin and it has a built in groundsheet which is attached to the inner. You can roll this away if you want, but I found it really useful to have a nice dry spot for storing boots and our bag. Delivered Monday to Saturday 8am-8pm, excluding bank holidays. Once despatched you will receive updates from the courier. Very minor downside, can be a little tough getting the poles in there straps as they have limited tensioning allowance and the eyebrow canopy is quite tight too. There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it.

OEX tents have been built to withstand the trials of outdoor adventures and expeditions. They use 7075 lightweight aluminium poles, with durable poly flysheets that won't falter in arduous conditions, and will give you years of service. On the other hand, it is low profile, the poles are a quality aluminum, and its waterproof rating is simply excellent. So this is a tent for practically any environment and climate, suitable for a year-round use. This feels like a quality piece of kit and I’m still not entirely sure how they can make money selling it for just 89 quid (minus 10% forces discount).
