We compared two 2-3 person camping tents: the Voyager 2-3 Man Tent and the Gysrevi Camping Tent 3 Man Instant Pop Up.
What we looked at
Setup method, waterproofing, and price.
The verdict
If you want the lower price on a lightweight, traditional pole tent that is still quick to pitch, the Voyager is the value pick at £59.99. If you would rather pay £10.00 more for an automatic hydraulic pop-up that's ready in around 10 seconds, the Gysrevi is the alternative, at £69.99.
A £59.99 lightweight 2-person tent at 2.7kg.
A £69.99 automatic pop-up tent that pitches in about 10 seconds.
Voyager 2-3 Man Tent, Waterproof, Windproof — Best Value
Intended for: Marketed as a quick-and-easy-setup tent for 2-person camping with generous dimensions of 225x135x110cm, a waterproof and windproof design for comfort in rain or strong winds, an Alu-and-polyester build for durability, and a lightweight 2.7kg design suited to hiking, backpacking and camping trips.
