The OEX Phoxx 2 range
The headline model is the OEX Phoxx II at £90, a genuine two person tent that stays light enough for multi day walking. It sits alongside its siblings, the solo Phoxx 1 and the three person Phoxx 3, so you can size up or down within the same trusted family. There is also a revised Phoxx 2 V2 for anyone comparing the oex phoxx 2 v2 against the original.
Who the Phoxx 2 is for
This is the tent for couples heading into Snowdonia for the weekend, for a solo hiker who wants a roomier porch for wet kit, and for anyone who values a fast, low pitch when the light is fading. The oex phoxx 2 ii tent keeps its profile low so it holds steady on exposed ground, and the porch gives you somewhere to cook and store boots out of the rain. As a two person shelter that a single walker can still carry comfortably, it is one of the most flexible tents OEX makes.
Dimensions and weight
The Phoxx 2 is built as a lightweight two person tent, with a compact packed size that stows easily inside a 40 to 60 litre pack. Exact packed weight and pitched dimensions are listed on the product page so you can compare it against your current kit before ordering. As a rule, expect enough length for two standard sleeping mats side by side and sitting headroom at the highest point rather than full standing room, which is normal for a tent in this weight class.
Pitching and care
Colour coded poles make the Phoxx 2 quick to pitch even in poor light, and taped seams with a sensible hydrostatic head keep the weather out. To get the best from it, peg the flysheet out fully so air can move between the inner and outer, and choose a slightly sheltered pitch when you can. After a trip, dry the tent fully before storing it to protect the coatings and keep it smelling fresh for next time.

How the Phoxx 2 compares
Choosing within the Phoxx family is mostly about capacity. The Phoxx 1 is the lighter solo option for anyone who camps alone and counts grams, while the Phoxx 3 adds a third sleeping space for small groups. The Phoxx 2 sits in the sweet spot between them: light enough for one person to carry happily on a multi day route, yet roomy enough for two when you share the load. Against the budget Hyena 2 tunnel tent it is lighter and packs smaller, which becomes the deciding factor once you start walking any real distance to your pitch. If you want the absolute lightest two person setup the Bobcat is worth a look, though most campers find the oex phoxx 2 strikes the better balance of weight, space and price.
Getting the most from your Phoxx 2
A few habits make a big difference with any lightweight tent. Pitch the flysheet taut so it does not flap in the wind, and keep the inner from touching the outer so condensation runs down the fly rather than onto your bag. On damp mornings, pack the inner separately if you can so it stays dry for the next night. Pair the tent with a good sleeping mat to insulate you from cold ground and a warm sleeping bag rated for the season, and the Phoxx 2 becomes a genuinely comfortable base for weekends away. Because it is a three season design, it handles spring, summer and autumn camping across the UK with ease, leaving only deep winter on the high tops to more specialist shelters.
Festivals, bikepacking and everyday use
The Phoxx 2 is not just a mountain tent. Its quick pitch and compact pack make it a great festival tent for two, somewhere clean and dry to retreat to at the end of a long day. Bikepackers like it because it splits neatly between panniers or straps to a rack without dominating the load, and cyclists touring for a week find the two person space useful for keeping kit inside overnight. For general weekend use, from a campsite by the coast to a night beside a Lakeland tarn, it is the kind of tent you can throw in the car and trust. That versatility, one tent that covers backpacking, cycling and casual camping, is a big part of why the oex phoxx 2 tent stays a bestseller in the UK.
