Dan I bought the V2 version recently May 15th 2023 there are loops added to the end of the mesh sleeves where the poles go through. This means you can attach the flysheet ties to them and leave it attached. This serves the purpose of being able to pitch the inner tent and flysheet together in one go ( it comes packed this way ). Works a treat ! Regards Bill

[@robmontier3770]

Agreed. Took me years to realise this!

[@AaronWatson396]

Hi Dan I bought this tent on your recommendation, and fair to say I love it. This tent is incredible value for money. In the Scottish Highlands it gets really wet, stayed dry the whole weekend. Thanks again Dan for the fantastic clear and valuable videos mate.

[@paulleonard8509]

I bought one of these to do a week bike packing the outer Hebrides in may ,7 nights in the wild with wind and rain , never let me down . I did the hack with the para cord that’s on YT,worked great . Only gripe being ,the vestibules are a bit small for brewing up. Done a week in Devon init too recently and it served me well. Great review Dan .

[@AirbornePirates]

These OEX Phoxx tents will always bring great memories to me, I’ve had some banging camps in my Phoxx II v2 👍

[@jockneyranger]

I bought this tent today and straight out the bag the fly is attached to the inner by two ties on the fly and two loops on the inner. I’m not sure if this is a new mod by OEX but I pitched it straight away with the fly already attached. No need to tie to the poles. Check your version to see if you have two loops top and bottom on the inner.

[@gilljo1]

I got the v2 and its my go to tent. Good review, cant wait to see you use it . Thanks and stay safe.

[@robwelsh5070]

There is a 'fix' so that you can leave the outer connected to the inner tent... so you don't need to keep tying each time. .. several vids on here 👍

[@adm58]

I just bought one of these. They have been slightly modified since this video. The pole sleeves are now longer, so there's only one pole clip. They also have loops sown onto the sleeves for the fly to be tied to. It can, therefore, be either removed or left attached as suits choice. Last night (October) I camped in Edale and it rained very heavily for at least three hours during the night. Cosy & dry inside though. I'm happy with the tent, though I may get a larger one too as, if I'm staying on a site and using a car (or bike) to carry the weight, I'd prefer more head height to sit and undercover storage space (possibly a Coyote 111 or Jackal 11 or 111). Alternatively, a tarp added to this would be good. Overall, I'd say the Phoxx is good for backpacking and overnights sleeping in clothes. I found it very cramped for undressing/dressing in, though, and the small storage areas under the fly are not really useful for doing anything in, such as cooking, if it's raining. My previous tent was a tunnel design as opposed to this side entry style. I noticed that an advantage of the tunnel is that rolling my sleeping bag and mat is easier as the whole length of the tent can be used. This is my first OEX tent. I'm very impressed with it and would definitely buy more of the brand.

[@eddiejefferies3659]

I brought mine last year after watching your previous clip, and haven't regretted the purchase. I can't say that I would want to use it for two people sharing though.

[@englishwoodsman]

Never share a two man tent 😅😅

Hi Dan. I bought the Phoxx II v2 about 16 months ago. £59 at the time. Absolute bargain. I love it. Love your channel too. 😁👍

This has been my go to tent for a long time because it is just so easy to set up and take down. It’s also the cheapest tent/hammock I own OEX definitely got it right with this tent.

[@camperp195]

So much faffing about to put up a tent,im after a lightweight tent under a kilo,this was in contention,until i saw your in depth vid,now it isnt,thanks for sharing,my search goes on

[@nevetsre7001]

Bought mine in December last year. Used it a couple of times. It's okay down to about -2. It was the noise not the cold that kept me awake; even with ear plugs. The outer could clip on and it would take less time to get out of the weather, but if you've waiting until it's really coming down you haven't been paying attention. It's streets ahead of the Vango tent I bought 20 years ago.

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

I am not sure how any tent could be classed as warm in winter, I had a quasar ultra that was still cold as ****.

[@RMinkjunkie]

I have this used it for first time last August I think it’s a awesome tent snd is underrated I got mine for £35 best tent I bought along with my MSR elixir 2man I love both equally the same. And being a former marine they are not heavy at all!

[@GoodBlokeOutdoors]

Never owned a OEX tent but may have to buy 1 soon, quality looks really good for the money

[@daitallon]

My go to tent, light, sturdy and can pack up small, and with all of my other gear, everything fits in my rucksack

[@andyc3088]

What puts me off tents like this is having to put up the inner up first and tying the outer to the poles. Especially when it's rainning!!

[@PaulKer87]

The newer ones come with the inner attached to the outer. So it's not too bad

[@tomwalkermedia]

oh its the worst when its raining🤣

I am totally on board with you with OEX stuff, the engineering is great but they need more thought put into it. My OEX X-Lite chair is fab. The OEX table is too light, unstable and blows away. My OEX self-inflating pillow is too small but a great idea if it was triple the length. They need to talk to you and others before they launch new products. Cheers!

[@englishwoodsman]

Oex don't talk to users mate at all

[@ipaales7552]

Totally agree dan probably knows more about oex gear than oex do , and his input would be valuable 👍

[@kitesurferlee]

[@arcticradio]

Just bought a Phoxx 2 for £70 new! The newer tents are now made in Bangladesh as the Chinese made tents were having quality issues. Vango have also moved over to Bangladesh. As mentioned on another video these Bangladesh made tents are much better in terms of stitching and overall production.

Phoxx ii v 2 best tent you can get for under £100 I got mine on deal for £65 love it been out in rain, sleet, snow over 50mph winds alway kept me warm and dry and never had an issue or anything the only negative is the weight 2.5kg with the tent so successful Go Outdoors really need to do a pro lite weight version it would be a license to print money.

[@englishwoodsman]

Oex phoxx ll v3 super lightweight

Cheers mate,very informative especially letting us know to pole before pegs ✌️👍

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

I have both the phoxx one and two versions, the two is definitely the better choice for comfort. The phoxx one is like a tent alternative to one of those fancy bivy tents that cost hundreds.

[@brindle2009]

[@markatchison9974]

I think OEX use tie points for the fly sheet because the plastic clips would rub a hole in it, if it's tight or in high winds.

I love my oex rakoon 2 original. Had it a couple of years now had it up in heavy rain storms with 60 moh winds and plenty room to sit up inside. I'm considering the 2.1 for the metal poles. But also considering a cloud peak 2. Or a helm 2 compact.

Good review. It goes to show you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a decent tent. It’s a close call between this and Vango Banshee 200.

[@simonward4520]

Good value for money I have phoxx 1 and bobcat. Agree the ties on the fly sheet are bad idea. Check out a ferrino 1 tent, another tent i would recommend for a stealth camp, they do it much better, just velcro, quick and easy no fiddling.

[@sebastiancovenent1528]

*FOOTPRINTS* - a little tip .. I got a tarp sheet from LOMO (Glasgow/online) to use with my Phoxx 1 v2. Of course, it's not quite the same as having a branded footprint designed for your own specific tent ... But it was about 4 quid! On the back side if the tent, I fold it under the tent, following its shape around, and on the doorway side, I leave a bit sticking out - somewhere to rest your knees/feet whilst getting in/out .... LOMO do various sizes, so there might be a viable option for many different tents. The small size I got, was approx 1.5m by 2m ... just right for the Phoxx 1. The HH rating for the 'bathtub' is very good ... but I do like giving it that but extra protection from stones etc

[@sebastiancovenent1528]

Another tip ---- As Highlander had run out of their foil blankets ... I also got a couple of the 'survival' style foil blankets from LOMO ... to go under a self inflating mat ... bit of extra insulation / reflect the heat back up ..... Also about 4 quid ... Absolute bargain! They're only thin, so I don't know how much repeated use they'll stand, but they've been fine so far. If they don't split, I might not bother with the Highlander one.

THANKS for posting a fine review pointing to this OEX series of tents. In the USA, we are not so familiar with them.

I DO HOPE the product designers in the company are listening to your experience.

[@boardgamesandwhiskyuk1646]

Great video Dan. I'm completely new to camping solo. I've been camping in the past with my family, but in a 6 man tent with everything but the kitchen sink. I haven't ventured out solo yet as I need to build up confidence first. I can't decide which 1/2 man tent to get. I do need to be able to sit up now and again as I suffer from a bad back. I do like the idea of the porch things (Sorry, can't remember what you call them nowadays) to make a brew if it's raining. Also, do you recommend any sleeping bags which don't restrict you as much. I was thinking a 2 season one would be fine tbh. Thanks Dan. This is such a great channel.
