Rakoon 2

OEX Rakoon 2 tent

The OEX Rakoon 2 is a comfortable two person tent that balances living space with a sensible weight, making it a great all rounder for UK camping. The Rakoon II at £150 gives a pair of campers a roomy interior and a useful porch, which is exactly what you want for weekends where comfort matters as much as carrying weight. If you want more room than a minimal backpacking tent, the Rakoon 2 is well worth a look.

Who the Rakoon 2 is for

This tent suits couples, festival goers and campers who want a bit more space to spread out without moving up to a full family tent. The generous porch is ideal for storing boots and bags or cooking out of the rain, and the two person interior gives you room to relax rather than just sleep. For long distance backpacking the lighter Phoxx 2 or Bobcat make more sense, but for comfort focused two person camping the Rakoon 2 shines.

Features and dimensions

The Rakoon 2 is built with a waterproof flysheet, taped seams and a design that stands up to British three season weather, with a porch that adds real usable space beyond the sleeping area. For exact pitched dimensions and packed size, check the specification on the product page so you can be sure it suits your sleeping setup and how you travel.

How it compares

Within the range, the Rakoon 2 sits between the minimal backpacking tents and the larger family shelters, offering more comfort than a trail tent while staying easy to pitch and manage. There is also a Rakoon 2.1 to compare if you want the latest version. Choose the Rakoon when space and comfort matter and you are not carrying the tent for miles.

Pitching and care

Pitch it with the porch away from the prevailing wind, peg the flysheet out fully so it stays taut, and keep the inner clear of the outer to manage condensation. Dry the tent completely before storage and it will give you many comfortable seasons of camping.

Rakoon 2 for festivals and weekends

The Rakoon 2 is at its best when comfort matters more than carrying weight. For a festival weekend, a campsite holiday or a base for exploring an area, the roomy interior and useful porch pay off every day, giving you space to change out of the rain, store bags off the groundsheet and relax rather than just sleep. Because it is aimed at camping close to the car, you can bring the little comforts, a proper sleeping mat and a warm sleeping bag, without worrying about weight.

Rakoon 2 vs the Phoxx tents

The simplest way to place the Rakoon 2 is against the Phoxx 2. The Phoxx is the lighter, more packable choice built to be carried on the trail, while the Rakoon gives you more living space and porch room at the cost of a bigger pack. If you hike to your pitch, choose the Phoxx; if you drive up and settle in, the Rakoon 2 is the more comfortable home from home. Neither is wrong, they simply suit different kinds of trip.

Caring for your Rakoon 2

A comfort focused tent still benefits from good habits. Pitch it on level ground with the porch away from the prevailing wind, tension the flysheet so it does not flap, and peg every guy line for a steady, quiet night. Clear sharp debris from under the groundsheet before you pitch, and always dry the tent fully before storage so the fabric and coatings stay in good condition. Store it loosely and check the poles and pegs before each trip. With this simple routine, the Rakoon 2 will give you many comfortable seasons of weekend and festival camping.
