Full details

The OEX Phoxx 2v3 Tent is designed for solo campers or those undertaking short trips who need a lightweight, robust shelter.

This tent offers a compact and durable solution for outdoor adventures, featuring a pre-angled pole design for porch space, a low-profile peg system for wind stability, and versatile guylines.

FAQs

What is the hydrostatic head (HH) rating for the flysheet and groundsheet?

The flysheet has a rating of 3000mm HH, and the groundsheet has a rating of 5000mm HH, providing good water resistance.

Is the footprint protector essential for pitching?

The separate footprint protector is included to add durability and protection to the groundsheet, extending the life of your tent. While not strictly essential for pitching, it is highly recommended for use.

What are the packed dimensions of the tent?

The packed size of the OEX Phoxx 2v3 Tent is 50cm x 17cm x 16cm.

Can the inner tent be used on its own?

Yes, the spacious inner tent section with mesh panels can be used on its own on warm, dry nights for a more comfortable and airy sleeping environment.

What type of zips does the tent use?

The tent features reliable YKK zips, known for their durability and smooth operation.

Is this tent suitable for winter camping?

The tent is described as a tough, all-season tent suitable for camping year-round. However, for extreme winter conditions, additional considerations for insulation and snow loading might be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Tent leaks during heavy rain.

Ensure all guylines are properly tensioned and the flysheet is taut. Check seams for any potential damage. Re-waterproof seams or the flysheet if the HH rating has degraded over time.

Tent poles are difficult to assemble or disassemble.

Ensure pole sections are fully seated into each other. Clean any dirt or debris from the pole shock cord and ferrules. If a pole section is bent, use the repair kit to straighten it or replace it.

Condensation inside the tent.

Open the stealth foot vent to increase airflow. Ensure the tent is pitched in a location with good air circulation. Avoid cooking inside the tent. Wipe down interior surfaces with a dry cloth.

Pegs are not holding securely in soft ground.

Use larger or specialized pegs suitable for the ground conditions. Utilize rocks or logs for additional anchoring points if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components, including the tent, poles, guylines, pegs, footprint, and repair kit.
  2. Lay out the groundsheet (or the separate footprint) in your desired pitch location.
  3. Assemble the aluminum poles according to the instructions provided, typically by connecting the sections.
  4. Insert the poles into the corresponding sleeves or clips on the flysheet.
  5. Secure the tent by pegging out the main anchor points, ensuring the 'limpet' peg points are used for maximum stability in windy conditions.
  6. Attach and tension the guylines to the designated points and surrounding anchors (trees, rocks, or pegs) for optimal structure and wind resistance.
  7. Adjust guylines as needed to ensure the flysheet is taut.

Compatibility:

  • The tent is designed for solo or two-person use, suitable for camping in three seasons.
  • The included footprint provides compatibility with most standard pitching surfaces, protecting the groundsheet.

Care:

  • After use, ensure the tent is dry before packing it away to prevent mildew.
  • Clean the tent with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the tent in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original stuff sack.
  • Periodically check poles and seams for wear and tear. Use the included repair kit for minor damage.
