Good review 👍 I use tiny Carabiner clips in place of the hooks for the corners of the inner which work a treat as they are easy to remove if I need to separate the inner from the outer to air

I love these videos lads, the quality and editing is superb. Thanks for sharing the details of the tent. I have one myself and didn't know about that mod for the back. Thanks 👍

Thanks for the feedback we really appreciate it! It’s a great little mod, more so because you don’t need anything other than a trekking pole. All the best - BR

A superb tent for my three season cycles tours. I have also used this camping on the three Yorkshire Peaks in winter with no problems. For the £, you cannot go wrongg with a Bobcat.

I have hillebergs, fjallravens. All sorts of tents, but I still love my little bobcat... I would say it is a 4 season tent.. I have had it out in horrendous conditions and it was unfazed... I put 4 of those tiny carabeaners on the four hooks quick, easy and effective. I have put it into semi-retirment, I care for it that much.. iam making a footprint for it , just to give it more protection... mine cost me £49... what a bargain for what a tent... Take care out there.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the tent and we think that’s the same sentiment shared by a lot of other bobcat owners. It’s never going to be the best tent in your collection, but it’s a proper guilty pleasure because it works and value for money wise it’s probably unbeatable. All the best - BR

Great review and a great tent. I love this little tent nearly as much as Ant survive the night. Fantastic tip on the trekking pole at the back. I was out at weekend in mine and 2 pals who also have the BC1. The biggest issue we had was the sleeping quarter giving your face a battering but it was very windy up yonda. Thanks for sharing it pal

Cracking tent mate and unbelievable value for money! Yeah it’s not massive on space but it’s worth giving the mod a go to see if that helps. All the best - BR

I got mine last year for £59 I think, never been that price since. I like this tent for what it is - got it just as a sleeping room not as a backpacking shelter, but even as that it is impressive as to the speed of putting up and taking down - not only that the small size means that putting it away wet means that drying out takes only a small amount of space, it fits on the washing line!! Nice video

another cracking video lads 🙏 have been using this tent and couldnt agree more with what you have to say. no one does affordable gear quite like OEX
@borderraiders2 ай бұрын
Great value for money and it’s an absolute workhorse the Bobcat! Be interesting to see how this new OEX ultralight range does in terms of public reception. All the best - BR

Thinking of getting this has my very first tent for wild camping

The first time I used this was in an absolute torrential downpour at a campsite in the forest of dean. I did wake up with puddles around the edge but have read through the comments and on reflection I don't think the guy ropes were tight enough to give it a fair go in such conditions. Too heavy and too big a pack size for bikepacking for me personally, but I'll certainly give it a go with the poles separately now and see if that is better.

Great review 👍Bombproof tent that can be up and down in a few minutes once you get the hang of it. My trusty little Bobcat is coming with me on a 4 day roadtrip to Scotland later this month. Not exactly wild camping, but I do want the minimum weight I can get away with in the boot of my little sportscar. I have done the carabiner mod to the corner hooks to make them more permanent, and am currently just using a garden cane for the rear guy line mod. (I will find something more suitable eventually lol) One thing I do have to disagree with you (and quite a few other reviewers too) is the lack of space for a taller person. I'm 6' 2" and can sleep in it no problem (Although I am a side sleeper which may help)
