Robens Viper 2 Tent
The Robens Viper 2 Tent sleeps, as the name suggests, 2 people. The inner sleeping compartment has a floor space of 220cm by 130cm at the widest points. The porch of the tent is another 90cm long, giving ample space for gear storage. The Viper is semi-geodesic with three poles all crisscrossing. Semi-geodesic means the tent holds its shape without needing guy ropes, meaning a much more stable tent (though not as much as a fully geodesic design) — though obviously pegging it down and using guy ropes will help in wind and other adverse conditions.
The peak of the inner tent is 95cm high, which gives you much more comfort than many other tents, whether you just want to sit up and play Monopoly while it's raining outside, or whether you're just trying to change clothes.
The maximum weight of the tent is 2.9kg, making this a well balanced tent between weight, size and price — it's not super lightweight, but with a recommended retail of £179 you get a lot of tent for your money.
