Eurohike Backpacker

eurohike-backpacker-2

This is Millets’ house brand and for four tenners you get a tapering tunnel-design, two-person tent. The outer must be pitched first and then you’ll need to crawl inside to hang up the inner. It’s the lightest and most compact tent of the three I tested – great for the backpack, but only one person can sit up at a time (it tapers from the door end to 50cm in height at the foot end) and if you’re over 6ft it might be a squeeze lengthways as the 240cm length is only at a tapered point and hard to utilise. The foldaway ground sheet and small window in the porch area are a nice touch (and much appreciated by Molly the dog). Length 240cm (plus 55cm for porch), width 140cm, height 95cm tapering to 50cm.
