Phoxx
OEX Phoxx tents
The OEX Phoxx range is the backbone of OEX backpacking, a family of light, quick pitching tents that covers everyone from the solo hiker to a small group. All share the same sensible design language: colour coded poles, taped seams and a low profile that copes with a wet, breezy British night. If you want one trusted tent family to choose from, the Phoxx range is the place to start.
The Phoxx family
There is a Phoxx for every group size. The Phoxx 1 is the compact solo tent, the Phoxx 2 is the two person favourite, and the Phoxx 3 adds room for three. Individual models include the Phoxx I and Phoxx II at eighty five and ninety pounds, the three person Phoxx III, and the weight saving Phoxx I Ultralite for grams counters. Revised versions such as the Phoxx 1 V2 sit alongside the originals.
Choosing your Phoxx
Start with two questions: how many people, and how far are you carrying it. Solo walkers want the Phoxx 1 or the Ultralite; couples and roomy solo campers want the Phoxx 2; small groups and families want the Phoxx 3. Because every model shares the same build quality, you can pick purely on capacity and weight without worrying about dropping down in quality.
Built for UK camping
The reason the Phoxx range is so popular is that it is built for the weather we actually get. A sensible hydrostatic head keeps an overnight downpour outside, taped seams stop leaks at the stitching, and the low pitch holds steady when the wind picks up. Colour coded poles make setup quick even in fading light, which matters at the end of a long day on the hill.
Care and delivery
Whatever Phoxx you choose, the basics of care are the same: pitch the fly taut, avoid inner to outer contact to manage condensation, and always dry the tent before storage. Every Phoxx order ships with free shipping UK wide and up to 30% off during the current offer, with clear sizing on each listing and easy returns if the fit is not right.
Why buy the OEX Phoxx range here
We bring the full Phoxx line up together with honest descriptions and helpful support, so you can compare models side by side and choose with confidence. Pair your tent with a warm sleeping bag and an insulated sleeping mat and you have a complete, trail ready setup. For dependable, good value backpacking tents, the OEX Phoxx family is a firm UK favourite.
Three season UK camping with the Phoxx
Every tent in the Phoxx range is built as a three season shelter, which covers the vast majority of UK camping from spring through to autumn. That is the window when most of us are out, whether it is a wild camp in the Lakes, a family weekend in the Peaks or a festival in a field. A warm sleeping bag extends the range into the colder shoulder months, leaving only deep winter on the high tops to more specialist tents. For the camping most people actually do, a Phoxx is all the tent you need.
Complete your Phoxx setup
A tent is one part of a comfortable night out. To finish your kit, add an insulated sleeping mat to keep the cold ground at bay, a warm sleeping bag matched to the season, and a compact camping stove for hot food and drinks. A well fitted rucksack carries it all comfortably. Buying the tent and the rest of your setup together means one delivery and one free UK shipping order, and our team can help you match everything to the trips you have planned.
The Phoxx range at a glance
It helps to picture the family by capacity so you can shortlist quickly. The Phoxx 1 and its lighter Ultralite version are the solo tents; the Phoxx 2 is the two person all rounder; and the Phoxx 3 covers small groups and families. Revised Phoxx 1 V2 and Phoxx 2 V2 models sit alongside the originals. Because every tent shares the same build quality and pitching system, you can move between them as your trips change and always know what you are getting. Whichever you choose ships with free UK delivery and up to 30% off during the current offer.
