The porch pole, which seemed pretty superfluous, as it only extends a flap of fabric above the door by another three inches, was beyond all my attempts.

The Jackal has a reflective strip along the bottom of the tent what makes it easy to see if you have a torch, and makes it look like there is a party going on inside! Just the first look I’ll get out on company one night now I suppose the only thing left to do is to see how easy it packs away the tube suck again, so don’t get frustrated packing. I have heard others claiming that it has survived very windy conditions and I can well believe it judging by what I’ve experienced so far. Multiple trips in Dartmoor and Snowdonia National Park which are known for their windiness, as well as the South West Coast Path and the odd garden camp during the COVID-19 pandemic.I must add at this point that the meshed sections are exactly the same as in the smaller Bobcat tent.

From your local crag to the summit of Everest, at Tiso, you’ll find the climbing and mountaineering equipment you need.OEX has become renowned for its quality and has become a serious player within the outdoor market over the last couple of years. OEX's Rakoon II is a two-person tent that is both lightweight and compact, ideal for backpacking and wild camping. There are mesh sections at each end of the inner and I find that just using the mesh section at the door is sufficient when the the porch area is zipped closed. In my opinion, the internal space of the Jackal II makes it a great ally when you need to spend considerable time inside it.
