OEX - Phoxx 2 / Phoxx 2 V2 / Phoxx II v2

I use a phoxx 2 to camp on my own and with my daughter. They are more roomy for 1 but fit 2 and gear at a push.

I love my phoxx2 for me and my lab, solo setup etc. But aye very true it's a tent to sleep in not sit around in

I have one it's good enough to sleep in but if it's raining and you wanna sit down your kinda fucked I'm 5'11 and can't sit up in it if I needed to cook or something and it's raining I've been looking at the cloud River pro 2 I think it's called seems massive compared to my phoxx 2

I cant speak on the others but i have the Phoxx 2 || and its great, would strongly recommend

I’ve got a phoxx 2 v2 - it gets rave reviews for a reason - great value. It’s really a 1.5man but a brilliant, stealth camper. I’ve also got an Alpkit vivo 2 - worth a look, bit bigger, you can sit up in it and the vestibule is more useful. Better as occasional 2 person tent than the phoxx 2 v2 but heavier and pack is bigger.

Used an OEX Hyena on 6 expeditions so far and it has been perfect - no leaks and poles have withstood 50+mph winds, maybe I've been lucky, but so far so good. I've borrowed a Phoxx II a couple of times and that has been good but I couldn't sit up in it quite as well as in the Hyena. Neither ultralight, but for the price they are great. I'd go for a 2-man tent, which then has space for you and your bag. If they had the Rakoon II (the next tent I've been eyeing up) with the Hyena's outer first pitch system, it would be perfect.

I have the phoxx II and I think it’s a good size for one person plus their gear. Quality is decent for the price. It strikes a decent balance between weight, size, easy to set up, and cheap.
