Otimos X-Lite Peak Duo Backpacking Tent 2 Person Reviews

4.7 Rating 3 Reviews
This is definitely a two person tent. My wife and I had a good night despite the weather being 3 degrees. No wind or rain so can't comment on that but really like the tent. Feels good quality and at a good weight. Look forward to using it in more challenging conditions.

Great Real 2 person tent, lots of venting,as we pitched for the night there was not a breath of wind through the night and was worried of there being condensation in the morning,to my surprise there's literally none, room for two people,or a palace for one,in future models I would like to see more pocket storage and a connector for walking poles on the door to strut the sides of the tent for bad winds,but this can be sorted by using walking poles on the door guy lines, I also would like to see tensioners on the front back and door guy lines,but again I added my own (£3) on Ebay. All in all great tent and a British company.

The Duo is a nice place to spend the night and I particularly like the flexibility of which/all tent flaps to open to get the best views/wind protection, a really good feature. Also a good tent bag. They claim the Duo has had 9 months UK development but Otimos have created a design better for Europe or the USA.The design is like many other similar tents available, such as the MSR Hubba, and shares their good and bad points. Good: spacious without a weight penalty, good sized porches. Bad: 100% mesh inner when camping in mist or rain the mesh means a damp feel in the tent at best, sometimes the wind (ventilation) drives the moisture through the mesh, and its rather cold. I think it would be a lot better tent if it had a solid inner. Still, that said, its a good tent for fair weather camping.
