8 Best Lightweight Two-Person Tents in the UK 2024 | Vango, Coleman and More

Making a good case for the lightest 2-person tent the outdoor adventuring community has ever seen, the Terra Nova Laser Competition weighs in at a jaw-dropping 1.25 kg. Despite this, the nylon flysheet has a good waterproof rating of 3000 mm while the groundsheet will repel any dew of the night with its 5000 mm rating. 

A fairly small sleeping pod makes this tent more suited to couples, however, it luckily doesn't skimp on length at 230 cm. With a 40 cm porch running the entire width of the tent, you can just about tuck two backpacks in at night. An extremely light offering for the keenest of trekking beans. 

The Vango F10 All Weather trekking tent features a multi-award-winning geodesic design with a focus on quality and strength above all else. Firstly, there's the 30D nylon ripstop construction, which is a defining sign of the durability of this top-shelf tent.

There's also the axial-hub pole structure, which allows for increased assembling efficiency, strength and various pitching options. Although this does up the weight to 3.46 kg, this design gives the tent a sturdy structure that will have zero qualms protecting you from whatever unpredictable weather you're likely to face in the UK and beyond.  

Geertop are at the forefront of modern tent design, creating impressively lightweight tents that retain a high level of function. The flysheet has the highest waterproof rating on this list at 8000 mm, entering this tent into the winter alpine arena.

With a dedicated snow skirt to match, there really is no place or weather condition this tent won't excel in. It also hits the right notes on weight at 2.1 kg, so it's clear Geertop have a high amount of experience and knowledge when it comes to minimising the often cruel hand of the elements. 

With more sleeping room than every other offering on this list, the Crua Duo is a spacious and comfortable hiking-specific tent. Luckily, Crua Outdoors have put this product's weight as high up as its other priorities – at 2.2 kg, they've allowed you the extra space without any extra weight.

They manage to achieve this by keeping the construction light on the feature front while still retaining a 5000 mm waterproof rating on the flysheet. This is a commendable tent that deserves every hiking fanatic's attention. 

While it's not the lightest of tents with an above-average weight of 3.3 kg, this semi-geodesic epic from Berghaus will keep you inextricably warm and dry at night. It boasts a 5000 mm waterproof rating, so you can sleep easy knowing you and your gear will weather any storm coming your way. 

The higher weight is likely down to the mesh pole sleeves, though they may well be worth it as they ensure an increased level of wind resistance while also shortening the assembly time. Alongside its ripstop polyester construction, you can be sure that the Brecon 2 from Berghaus will not let you down. 

Here's another tent with two doors and porches, giving friends their own access points when confined to very close quarters. The Forclaz trekking tent comes under the desirable 2 kg mark, while also accommodating with a well-sized sleeping pod and porch space for two 50-70 litre backpacks to fit. 

It also features a self-standing design that aims to lean on itself when you're pitching in some unsavoury conditions. Unfortunately, there's a slight note of concern with the flysheet only rated at 2000 mm, which, for the price, is on the lower end of what you might expect.  

The Olpro pioneer is genuinely lightweight, coming in at 1.9 kg for the whole pack. This low weight is put down to the pulled-in sleeping pod and almost featureless design, giving hikers exactly what they need and nothing more. 

The impressive waterproof rating of 5000 mm for both the fly and groundsheet instructs that this tent can handle the wettest of weather. The two porches are 80 cm at their widest point, allowing two backpacks to comfortably tuck in out of the cold and wet. A clever tent that puts its worth where it counts. 

Coleman's ultralight two-person hiking tent is a good mid-range option in terms of quality and price. The sleeping pod is a good size at 260 cm, so even the tallest campers should be able to stretch out after a day of activity. 

This tent will help friends who maybe aren't so accustomed to sharing a sleeping space with one another too, thanks to the dual porch and door configuration. It is, however, constructed of polyester with a 2000 mm rating on the overhead flysheet, which results in a moderately waterproof tent that the price reflects.
