Rakoon 2.1
OEX Rakoon 2.1 tent
The OEX Rakoon 2.1 is the revised version of the comfortable two person Rakoon, keeping its roomy, easy going character while refining the details. It remains a great all rounder for couples and campers who want more living space than a minimal backpacking tent, and it is the natural pick for anyone comparing the latest version against the original Rakoon 2. This page gathers the Rakoon 2.1 and explains who it suits.
What the 2.1 offers
Like the original, the Rakoon 2.1 gives two people a comfortable interior and a useful porch for boots, bags and cooking out of the weather. It uses a waterproof flysheet and taped seams built for British three season camping, and it stays easy to pitch and manage. If you value comfort and space on a weekend away, the 2.1 delivers without the bulk of a full family tent.
Who it is for
This is a tent for couples, festival campers and anyone who likes room to relax rather than just sleep. It is aimed at comfort focused camping rather than long carries, so for lightweight backpacking the Phoxx 2 or Bobcat remain the better picks. But for roomy two person camping close to the car, the Rakoon 2.1 is an excellent choice.
Dimensions and features
The Rakoon 2.1 offers a generous two person interior and a porch that adds real usable space. For the exact pitched dimensions and packed size, check the specification on the product page so you can be sure it fits your sleeping setup and the way you travel. As a comfort focused tent, expect more room and a slightly larger pack than a minimal trail tent, which is exactly the trade off it is designed around.
Pitching, care and delivery
Pitch the porch away from the wind, peg the flysheet out fully, and keep the inner clear of the outer to control condensation. Dry the tent before storage to keep it in good order. Every Rakoon 2.1 order ships with free shipping UK wide and up to 30% off during the current offer, with honest sizing and easy returns.
Complete your setup
To get the most from the Rakoon 2.1, pair it with insulated sleeping mats, warm sleeping bags and a compact camping stove for hot drinks at camp. Our team is happy to help you choose between the Rakoon 2 and 2.1, so you end up with the right comfortable two person tent for your trips.
Comfort features explained
What sets a comfort focused tent like the Rakoon 2.1 apart from a minimal trail tent is usable living space. The porch gives you somewhere dry to leave muddy boots, store bags and shelter during a wet afternoon, keeping the sleeping area clean. The roomy interior means two people can sit up, get changed and move around without knocking into each other, which makes a real difference on a longer stay. These are the details that turn a good weekend into a relaxed one, and they are exactly what the Rakoon 2.1 is designed around.
Who should choose the 2.1
The Rakoon 2.1 suits couples, festival campers and anyone who values comfort and space over minimum weight. If you carry your tent for miles, the lighter Phoxx 2 or Bobcat are the better picks, but for camping close to the car the 2.1 gives you far more room to enjoy. Pair it with comfortable sleeping mats, warm sleeping bags and a camping stove, and it becomes a genuinely relaxing base for weekends and holidays across the UK.
Rakoon 2.1 or the original Rakoon 2
Choosing between the two Rakoon versions is mostly about availability and the exact specification. Both are comfort focused two person tents with a roomy interior and useful porch, built for camping close to the car rather than long carries. The Rakoon 2 is the established model, while the 2.1 is the revised take on the same idea. Compare the two listings side by side, look at the pitched dimensions and packed size, and choose the one that best fits your kit and budget. Our team is happy to talk you through the differences so you end up with the right tent.
