As I’ve only had the tent for a short while it is hard for me to say much about the durability of the tent. I can say that everything seems to be very well made and there is nothing that looks like it could cause concerns later down the line. It was relatively windy during the heavy downpours at the weekend, but the tent handled that well and felt stable during the biggest gusts. At 3kg it’s obviously not the lightest two-person tent on the market, but it is easily manageable at that weight and if you’re new to camping or if you’re looking to try your first wild camping adventure, this price point could make that little bit of extra weight worth carrying. One person can easily set up the tent in around 10-15 minutes, while two people working together can have it up in even less time. The tent features a simple two-pole tunnel design that ensures stability in windy conditions. Not only does the dark room technology keep your tent darker, but cooler too. Allowing you to sleep in past sunrise without feeling like you’re in a sauna. Suitable for 5 to 7 people depending upon how much space you would like, the tent comes supplied with two interior tents to create three separate areas.

For context, a hydrostatic head rating of 2,000mm means the fabric can withstand heavy rain and driving wind, while anything above this can withstand water being pushed through by something physical, such as your body weight when laying on the groundsheet. The bedroom divider can be removed to create one large bedroom if you don’t have a need for two separate rooms. In terms of its winter capabilities, it can handle all the harsh weather you can throw at it. From wind and snow to rain and hail – none of it will make it inside your tent. There is also a large interior tent that you can attach to the main area of the tent and partition into two bedrooms or keep it as one large bedroom.The Hyena II Tunnel Tent has several storage options to help keep the interior organised and clutter-free. The tent features a fairly large vestibule at the front, which provides additional storage space for gear, shoes, and other camping essentials. The vestibule also has a built-in groundsheet, which helps to keep the interior clean and dry. And if you need any more convincing that this a worth while buy, NTK offer a lifetime replacement on any broken poles. The Hyena II has a hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm, which means it should be able to withstand heavy rain without leaking. The tent’s flysheet is made of 75D polyester with a PU coating, which provides excellent waterproofing. Additionally, the tent’s seams are taped to prevent water from seeping through. The tent’s groundsheet is also strong and waterproof ensuring that occupants stay dry even in wet conditions. Wind resistance So if you’ve had bad experiences in the past with cheap tents leaking during rain then you can rest assured this tent will never leak on you.

The tent is made from good quality materials that are designed to withstand all but the harshest UK weather conditions. The flysheet is made from 68D polyester with a waterproof rating of 4000mm, while the groundsheet is made from 150D polyester with a waterproof rating of 5000mm. The tent also features a breathable inner tent made from 68D polyester, which helps to prevent condensation build-up inside the tent. Tent poles Is the OEX Hyena II good for wild camping? I’d say that it definitely is, so long as you’re not heading out into extreme weather and you’re happy to carry the 3kg. Last weekend I camped in the Peak District, right next to the High Peak trail, and from 11 p.m. until the early hours of the morning, it was absolutely torrential. However, everything inside the tent stayed perfectly dry and there were no signs of condensation either, thanks to the large vent at the rear of the tent. Durability The OEX Hyena II Tunnel Tent is designed to accommodate up to two people, but as mentioned earlier, in reality it’s suitable for one person plus gear. The Hyena II Tunnel Tent offers a spacious interior, with enough room to comfortably sleep one person plus gear, or two people at a push. The tent also has a large door and two windows that can be opened or closed as needed to control airflow and temperature.

The OEX Hyena II is designed to withstand fair winds, but we wouldn’t recommend this tent for use up a mountain where winds can gust even when no wind is forecast. For the price, the tent has a stable tunnel design with two poles, which provides excellent stability in fairly windy conditions. Remember also that budget tents can be a bit ‘flappy’ in winds too. OEX Hyena II Tunnel Tent – comfort and convenience The outer pitches before the inner, which is a great thing if you’re caught in bad weather and need to get the outer up and keep everything else dry. Then it’s a simple case of hooking the inner inside the shell. Waterproofness The OEX Hyena II Tunnel Tent is not really be suitable for tall people. As always with tents, even though the inner says 210cm in length, when you factor in your sleeping mat and slope of the end of the tent, your feet will be pressed against the inner material if you’re much over 6ft tall. StorageThe OEX Hyena II Tunnel Tent is designed to provide a comfortable and convenient camping experience. This section will focus on the interior space, storage, and accessories of the tent. Interior space Not only is the tent large and full of features, it also uses extremely high quality materials throughout. If you do keep the divider in place, you can squeeze, and we mean squeeze, a double bed in both rooms if you really need to.

If you do remove the divider, there is enough space for one queen size mattress and a little room for belongings, or a double mattress and tonnes of room. NTK largely fly under the radar when it comes to quality camping tents. While they are not as well known as some of the other brands on this list, the quality of them is top notch. They are one of the only tent brands (at least in this price range) that build tents strong enough to be left up for long periods of time, while also being perfectly easy to set up and take down for shorter car camping trips.
