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
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.
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 .
I got the v2 and its my go to tent. Good review, cant wait to see you use it . Thanks and stay safe.
These OEX Phoxx tents will always bring great memories to me, I’ve had some banging camps in my Phoxx II v2 👍
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.
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 👍
Cheers mate,very informative especially letting us know to pole before pegs ✌️👍
Another cracking video Dan keep up the good work 👏
Looks good Dan, looking forward to the V1 vs V2 comparison video 👍
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.
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.
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!
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
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!!
The newer ones come with the inner attached to the outer. So it's not too bad
oh its the worst when its raining🤣

Brilliant comments fair, and truthfull 👍keep it up,
Kind Regards

P.s.
I just got a slumit cub 2, mk 2
For motorbike camping
Got this same tent a couple of months back. Great price and an ideal tent for solo + gear.
Awesome tent dan I love mine .. but it’s right just what you say .. a foot print would be great .. & clips as well .. cheers Chris & Sam
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.
Wow another out standing review Dan 👏
Awesome tent,I paid £117 for mine,Great channel keep up the good work!👍🏻
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.
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.
Never share a two man tent 😅😅
Great review Dan! 👍
Never owned a OEX tent but may have to buy 1 soon, quality looks really good for the money
My go to tent, light, sturdy and can pack up small, and with all of my other gear, everything fits in my rucksack
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.
I am not sure how any tent could be classed as warm in winter, I had a quasar ultra that was still cold as ****.
Great review Dan 😎 keep them coming 👍🏻
More video to follow mate
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!
Oex don't talk to users mate at all
Totally agree dan probably knows more about oex gear than oex do , and his input would be valuable 👍
Peg it down ?
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.
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. 😁👍
Thankyou mate 👍
Anygood in the rain m8
@@grayza2988 Never had any problems with leaking. Always 100% water tight.
Love oex and so glad I found this channel mate, but you don’t half sound like Keith lemon.😂👍
Nice video mate!
I love this tent but it is my only small tent, never used a Banshee or and Lanshan.
looking forward to your comparison with Phoxx2v1. Will you compare to Bobcat?
thinking of buying expedition tarp to go with this.
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.
Nice video - looks a lot like my banshee 200 👍
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.
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.
Hi Bud nice video again thanks. I need to know what Camera you use my friend it's so clear
My mate has just bought one and I have bought the star river for our first steps in to wild camping. Looking forward to pitching and comparing them side by side
Both great tents mate
I got one. And so as my son fantastic tent for the money paid £59 from go outdoors been out in some bad weather did not Leak👍
Hello mate, nice work as always. If it's just the same as the phoxx 1 V2 but with more space, this is of course going to be a good tent. Cya Friday 😊
Happy Friday night mate
@@englishwoodsman always pal 🙂
Nice look at the phoxx tent Dan. Some useful tips to. I have that tent but haven't used it for a while . No probs with it but usually under a tarp . Made me think it might need an outing. Take care 👍
Yep the oex tarp works great with this tent
@@englishwoodsman. I bet it does . Handy when the rain comes down and you don't want to be in the tent for hours ( when you're not asleep) . Cheers Dan 👌
Great review Dan...Definitely not titanium pegs, not at £95...Weight reduction has never really been an OEX thing - Although, I do love their stuff. Keep the brilliant content coming. Thanks again.
Aluminium mate
Budget tent but not the best value.
Euro hike DLX 3 , 2 person tent and never let me down. Huge porch, and now do a night shade one. Review it Dan, you won’t be disappointed.👍
Think I have this same tent but it's in blue
Hi Dan love your video, I just bought a vango 200 spey, have you tried this my boy's love it what's your opinion on it?
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.
Oex phoxx ll v3 super lightweight
I know you’re not sponsored by OEX or anything but damn they need to wake up & offer you some sort of affiliate discount code. The amount of brand awareness you’ve given their brand, I know I’ve bought oex kit off the back of your videos 👍
*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
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.
Dan, what would you recommend? I need 1 or two man strong, light, and something I can sit up in I was looking at the OEX bobcat but open to something teepee like off Amazon ideally less than £100 cheers.
Hes just brilliant and very honest. Every video u can see his passion for the sports. I wish him nothing but the success and support he deserves!
Thankyou for your kind words
Just managed to find one for £50 . Well happy in red mind
there is youtuber called Lucy oringina who done a wild camp in the lakes I think in quite high winds and it got smashed to bit , poles all bent out of shape it was destroyed when she got back she she bought a banshee.phoxx ll v2 is very much a fair weather tent.
Like your channel like it best when your camping tho.
THANKS for posting a fine review pointing to this OEX series of tents. In the USA, we are not so familiar with them. The highest recommendation for this line of camp gear is how it has worked for you, even under bad weather conditions. I DO HOPE the product designers in the company are listening to your experience.
They need to listen and up there game
Hi dan good one like the look of that tent
If its as good as the phoxx ll original one then it will be brilliant mate 100 %
Good bit of kit mate.👍🏾
Oex just need to start working on there tent mate up there game
@@englishwoodsman I hear you. They should attach the fly sheet, too.👍🏾
Have you tried it without the tie thingys tied ? they dont seem to do much .
Love your tent and gear reviews looks a good tent shame it didnt have a bugnet on the doors
Now that would be a great idea
Great video, my favourite I reckon. Do t throw those tents away. Any homeless charity would welcome the donation.👍
Looks OK to me for the money. Footprint would be a good addition though.
I can only imagine how much the tent would cost if the pegs were titanium 🤣 great vid tho, think i might buy one 👊
Probably about £300 🤣🤣
You've got too many tents, lol. Anyroad, ay a good week me owd 👍🙂
just picked up a naturehike mongar 2 and I can't wait to try it.... the reviews I've seen on it are fantastic, also its my first grey/white tent which is also somewhat exciting for some strange reason. Any else get excited about tent colours or just me 😂
phoxx 11 2 much better
Dan,do you know anyone selling a cheap tent? Not got much to spend! Can I get a tent without poles?
Bargain price, but it wouldn't cost OEX diddly to redesign with the poles outside the fly to enable pitch in one?
A lot of ffffffphoxes mate😂 but great review, looks a belter well made much stronger than a lot of overseas cheap stuff.👍
I've just found it on Amazon for £85.
Great work 👏
Great review but over 2.1kg for what is essentially a one person tent wouldn’t work out for me Dan.
Dan is it a Vango Banshee in Disguise....
I’ve just bought this tent. Going on a two day trip. Will it stand the Scottish weather lol ????
Yes mate I had my oex lynx ll out in Scotland and it was brilliant
Plus I’ve got the OEX 60-70 rucksack. Love it
Hi Dan am 6ft-5 can i fit in that, if not am looking for a budget tent for me and my partner and my small dog hopefully lol shes never been camping omg but i love camping , can you put me on to something good plz but not £££ , OH i love tour channel and ive got to like OEX and good on prices i think
Small details details make the difference.
Unfortunately the yellow doorway is not so stealth but good otherwise. 💥💥
54th 🏆🏆🏆
I bought a banshee 200 with elusive footprint for £60 it beats these phoxx 2 hands down
Got a link?
@@notme1345 sorry I did pick it up on marketplace I forgot to mention second hand but as good as new. Plenty for sale round the country
The main reason i wouldn't buy one is because its inner pitch first. I think more of the oex tents are inner first, its ridiculous for tents in this country.
No mate the bigger tents are outer first
there's a mod for that on yt somewhere
@@englishwoodsman i wasn't sure which ones were. I really think they should change them to outer first i would be very interested in the phoxx v2 then.
I know the bright colored interior is there for a reason but they don't need it.
My favourite tent ⛺ first comment too 😀
The phoxx 2 is my best tent
🏆🏆🏆
Love OEX hate inner pitch first with a passion
OEX have since changed the way these are produced. Must have taken onboard the critical points. The inner is tied to the flysheet now. Straight out the packet. You can keep them together. So therefore pitches all in one. 👍
They have tried to copy the Banshee ........But the Banshee is so much better than those in build quality. The Banshees are £75
I fully agree mate . But they make both tents and brand in the same factory now
It's sounding like the OEX sponsorship has fell through!!!! Maybe try night cat 🤣😂🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@englishwoodsman I've just bought one and there you are pulling it to bits!!!! Wished you'd hurry up and get ahead of me so I can watch your reviews before I put my hand in my pocket ☹️💸
@@md2320 mate it's a good tent . Like I say oex are just not keeping up with other companies
The Olpro Pioneer is a better tent in my opinion.
I hate the tent for some reason now I use DD tarps and the bobcat 1
thought you went using oex no more
I am bring oex back now mate lots of plans
@@englishwoodsman nice
Anyone interested in buying a nature hike cloud up 1 £60 quid unpacked to put up in the garden but never used
I'm gutted is all can find is the brown I'm gutted
Absolute crappy design that I could see being a nightmare to put up in bad weather. Better putting outer up first for that reason. I think I'll stick with my Vango scafell 200. Survived Cape Wrath trail X2 West Highland way and the lake District for 2 years 👌
£60 at millets with a hot deals code......
That's too big packed up.. it's like a family tent...
A great tent, but can't stand the orange interior! 🤮👍
Can you send me your email, I would like to send you some photos of me and my big brother camping at the west coast of Scotland at Dunure near Dunure Castle 300meaters away fae it
