1-2 berth tent

[bikingdad90]

I’m on the look out for a 1-2 berth tent that packs down small enough to go into a pannier bag. I am looking to try out a camping and cycling trip and don’t want to spend much if I don’t get on with it.

I use a Vango soul 200 which I strap to the rack top. Sleeping bag and Matt one side and clothes cooking the other side.

I could have got a soul 100 which is a bit smaller. Tent fabric in panniers and poles on frame.

But if you put a wet tent in a pannier it's likely to make rest of panniers content wet. Hence I prefer it on rack top.

Really like my Decathlon MT900 1 man. It is super narrow and feels like you're lying in a coffin. Also bought the soloist which was just too cramped at the entrance: the only satisfactory method of entry was via half a burpee.

I bought one off Ali Express. Mceto is the brand. Stood up well in a thunderstorm on the first night of a four day bike packing trip on The King Alfred's Way. Cost about £40 weighs 1300 grams and packs really small. 35 cm long and 15 cm wide.
