Phoxx 1 v2
OEX Phoxx 1 V2 tent
The OEX Phoxx 1 V2 is the revised version of the popular one person Phoxx, keeping what worked and refining the details. It remains a compact, light solo tent for hikers who want dependable shelter without the weight, and it is a natural pick for anyone comparing the latest version against the original Phoxx 1. This page gathers the Phoxx 1 V2 stock and explains who it suits.
What the V2 offers
Like every Phoxx, the 1 V2 pitches quickly on colour coded poles, uses taped seams and a sensible hydrostatic head, and sits low to shed wind. It is a genuine one person tent with a porch for boots and a stove out of the rain, aimed squarely at solo backpacking, wild camping and festival use. If you already know and like the Phoxx 1, the V2 is the current take on the same proven idea.
Who it is for
This is the solo camper’s tent: light enough to carry all day, quick to put up when you are tired, and steady when the weather turns. For more room, step up to the Phoxx 2; for the lightest possible pack, look at the Bobcat. But for a dependable, well priced one person shelter, the Phoxx 1 V2 hits the mark for most solo trips across the UK.
Weight and dimensions
The Phoxx 1 V2 is built to stay light while giving one person room to sleep and store kit, with a compact packed size that slots into a backpacking pack. Check the specification on the listing for the exact packed weight and pitched dimensions so you can be sure it suits your sleeping mat and your pack before you order.
Pitching and care
Face the low end into the wind, peg the flysheet fully, and keep the inner from touching the outer to control condensation. Dry the tent completely before storing it loosely, and check the poles and pegs before each trip. A little care keeps the Phoxx 1 V2 performing season after season.

Phoxx 1 V2 vs the Bobcat
If you are choosing a solo tent, the Phoxx 1 V2 and the Bobcat are the two to weigh up. The Phoxx 1 V2 is the well rounded value option, giving dependable one person shelter at a sensible price, while the Bobcat is the dedicated ultralight for people who prioritise carrying as little as possible. For most solo campers the Phoxx 1 V2 is the easier choice, hitting a strong balance of weight, space and price; committed grams counters on long trails lean towards the Bobcat. Both handle British three season weather well.
Solo trips with the Phoxx 1 V2
A good solo tent should be quick to pitch when you are tired and steady when the weather turns, and that is exactly the brief the Phoxx 1 V2 is built for. Arrive with enough light to choose a sheltered, level pitch, face the low end into the wind, and peg out fully. Use the porch for wet boots and cooking, and pair the tent with a compact sleeping mat and a warm sleeping bag for a light, reliable setup for nights out on the hill across the UK.
Getting the most from your Phoxx 1 V2
A few simple habits keep any lightweight solo tent performing at its best. Pitch the flysheet taut so it does not flap in the wind, keep the inner and outer from touching so condensation runs off the fly rather than onto your bag, and pack the inner separately on damp mornings so it stays dry for the next night. Choose a slightly sheltered, level pitch where you can, and always dry the tent fully before storage. Looked after this way, the Phoxx 1 V2 will be your reliable solo shelter for many seasons of camping across the UK.
