TARPTENT SCARP 2 £395

This US-made tent has become my go-to for wild camps and backpacking trips in all seasons. It pitches all-in-one, is super roomy inside and has excellent headroom (essential when you’re 6ft+). It can be purchased with an upgraded fabric inner and additional crossing poles to turn it into a true 4-season mountain tent too – both of which are well worth adding for UK use.

VERDICT I’ve pitched this tent all over the place, in sun, rain and snow, and it’s never let me down.

Roomy for two, sturdy and lightweight, it ticks all the boxes as a dependable adventure tent. USED BY Matt Jones, Trail contributor USED FOR 3 years
