Robens Cress 2 Pro Tent - Lightweight 2-Person Tunnel Tent

The Robens Cress 2 Pro Tent is a fast-pitching two-person tunnel tent that gives you a stable sleeping space and useful headroom while keeping weight and packed size in check.

The side-entry sloping tunnel design comes from Robens' Performance range, and as with the rest of that range the pole sleeve is closed at one end so the colour-coded alloy poles slide in and the tent is up quickly. The inner is offset to leave extra porch space, with a second storage area at the foot, and pre-bent poles lift the headroom. Covered vents at both ends and a mesh panel in the side door keep air moving to reduce condensation, there is a lantern hanging point inside, and you can pitch it without the inner as a simple shelter. All-in weight is 2.3kg.

Choose the Cress 2 Pro when you want a straightforward, stable tunnel tent for three-season backpacking at a fair price.
