Product Information

Full details

The OEX Phoxx I Ultralite Tent is designed for solo backpackers and wild campers seeking a lightweight, weatherproof shelter. Its primary benefit is its ultra-lightweight design (715g bare weight) and compact packed size, making it ideal for carrying on long expeditions. However, the single-person capacity means it's best suited for solo use, and the minimalist design prioritizes weight savings over spaciousness.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking inside the tent.

Check the seams and re-seal them with the provided Silicone Seam Sealer. Ensure the tent is pitched correctly, with the flysheet taut, and that the groundsheet is not exposed.

Condensation build-up inside the tent.

Ensure proper ventilation by opening the mesh inner and any vents. Avoid cooking inside the tent, and make sure the tent is pitched away from damp or shaded areas.

Poles bent or broken.

Inspect the poles for any damage after each use. Contact OEX customer service for replacement poles if necessary. Avoid pitching the tent in strong winds without proper anchoring.

Zippers are sticking.

Clean the zippers with a dry cloth and lubricate them with a zipper lubricant (if available). Avoid forcing the zippers.
