Robens Roamer 2 LW Tunnel Tent - Lightweight 2-Person FlexPitch

The Robens Roamer 2 LW is a lightweight two-person tunnel tent that pitches three ways. Flysheet only, inner only or the full shelter: FlexPitch lets you carry and pitch exactly what the trip needs, and at 2.29kg the whole tent is light enough for backpacking and bikepacking.

The flysheet is Robens' HydroTex SilPoly RS, a silicone/PU-coated ripstop polyester that absorbs far less water than nylon. In practice that means it stays lighter when wet, dries quickly and doesn't sag overnight, so you're not re-tensioning guylines in the small hours. A mesh inner keeps air moving, with solid panels to block wind and dust, and the porch is big enough to cook under cover while sitting in the inner. Choose the Roamer 2 LW when you want a properly weatherproof tunnel tent that packs down alongside panniers rather than dominating them.

Why you'll love it

• Non-sag HydroTex SilPoly RS flysheet – absorbs less water than nylon, dries fast and stays taut when wet
• FlexPitch – pitch flysheet only, inner only or both, flysheet first or all in one
• Mesh inner – good ventilation and low weight, with solid panels for wind and dust protection
• Short pole sections – DAC Pressfit anodised poles that pack easily into panniers and backpacks
• Ventilation you can tune – fly toggles front and back for sheltered views and airflow, two-way zips that curve at the door top, and an adjustable Low Vent system
• Sheltered porch – room to cook under cover while sitting in the inner

Who it's for
