I personally love the Phoxx 1 and 2. At 1.6kg, the Phoxx 1 is a bombproof little bikepacking tent that can pretty much take anything thrown at it! And for 58 quid, you really can't go wrong!

Hi. Nice vid. Go Outdoors must love you.😉 Apart from my Robens Starlight 1 tent, All my kit is British Army,bit heavier,but ‘Travel Light, freeze at night’, as a Marine told me once. Not sure why you need a head torch AND another light… All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

I suppose its like anything ,we pick and choose the bits of kit for specific purposes. I have one of those yellow mats .but my 13 Yr old son sleeps on it .he is always warm and comfy while my old bones need an expensive sea to summit . We use the lightest oex down bags in summer that are plenty warm enough. Don't need a huge bag when it's warm .also I prefer my banshee over the phoxx 2 that's just a given .

You're dead right matey. It's just interesting to see if you can get your gear from one place and it makes for a video concept. I did find Vango was a good one-stop-shop, you could just go to them and get most everything you need. Thanks a million for the comment. :-)

In my experience with OEX, the Leviathan EV900 and Fathom 400 fall way short of the claimed specs, so I won't recommend either of those two bags!

Yes I've heard bad things tbh. My mate who lent me the bag likes his. These reviews are more of a first time-try-thing, I'm hoping it's fun to watch someone using gear they've never tried before.

Interesting video. I've got a bit of OEX gear as I try and do sub £100 camps (tent, backpack, sleeping bag, sleep mat and sleep pillow) so I pick some up used pretty cheaply. So far OEX has been decent for the gear I've had. I picked up a Mountain Warehouse mat for £12 that was similar to the one you used here, yeah, doesn't offer the most padding!

Thanks for the comment matey. Yeah, I couldn't agree more to be honest. They're aiming at a kind of cheap end Vango market, but it doesn't do it for me, I find it all feeling a little bit like landfill.

Great video. I've looked at the OEX gear before but found that the Vango is very similar price and I love my Banshee 200 pro and 300. The only bit of vango kit I've liked is the EV200 summer sleeping bag which packs down small and in the sale was £25. Other than that for budget gear it's vango all the way.

I thought the tent I used in the vid (Phoxx 2 ii) wasn't as good as the Banshee, that's all I could really say. Not a fan of the inner first set up either. But they are only £90 odd which is cool isn't it? 5000 hydrostatic head too! Not bad. Just not a fan, personal taste I guess!!

Definitely. I've spent way too much on gear! I still love me Lanshan though and that's supposed to be budget! Also loved that Vango stove I tried in the other video. I'm just being honest in the video though, I think sometimes it's a false economy buying cheaper stuff, and the OEX stuff really verges on that for me. I mean you get a lot more quality with vango gear for 10 - 20% extra cost, and I think you defo get extra more than 20% extra life out of the Vango gear. :-) Thanks for the comment mate :-)
