It’s certainly cosy. I think bivis are best used with a tarp. I’ve got a DD super light 2.8m x 1.5m. The bivi is full waterproof but a tarp gives you another skin and a sheltered cooking area. You can get a bivi pitched almost anywhere and more stealthy. I think these windy conditions are the future. An Elan will beat a Hilleberg for windy conditions. Thanks for commenting.
Yes. I think it may be better to peg the outer separately from the inner to allow breathing space between the two. It’s not as good as the MLD Duomid but a decent tent at a third the price. Thanks for your comment.
I think it’s a good buy for the money. Easy to pitch. I’ve got another alpkit tent and the material is high quality. I’ve got a dodgy knee at the moment so not so agile🤨Cheers mate.
I’ve never used a Lanshan so I can’t compare, I’ve had one Tarpstar in 30 mph and it was a bit flappy but it didn’t fail. I try to pitch behind a wall or a crag if it’s windy, but it’s so light and very easy to pitch.
It’s 3000 hydrostatic head. It’s pretty good in the rain. It hasn’t leaked. It’s a 3 season shelter. It won’t take a full on storm but I think it’s not bad.
Great video. The tent seems to be a fantastic piece of kit for the money. Also survived the rain test which is reassuring. All the best.
Great review, I’m yet to use mine.

Very nice i like it thanks
We've never seen a yerkshire silverback pitch a ts2 before 😊 ..
Is this tent more wind stable than lanshan 2? I think it should be,bcs of 1 peak..

Would you say this would stand up to driving rain given the inner sides aren’t high.

The bathtub sides on the inner are at least 4 inches high. If you would be unlikely to be engulfed unless you had pitched in a lake.
