New for 2014 the F10 Ion 2 is new this year and after a couple of months of testing it's already becoming a real favourite. At 2.65kg it's the lightest free standing tent in the F10 stable and while we've had some issues with some recent designs coming from Glagow based Vango the Ion2 starts off making positive impressions and then gets better. It's one of those tents that the more you use it the more you appreciate what you've got.

Following on from the Argon and Helium we take a look at Force Ten's latest inert-gas monickered offering - the Xenon 2 in its UL, or Ultra Light manifestation.

When is a tent not a tent? When it’s a Tipi! Tentipi are a maker of tents that have Nordic roots and are produced in Sweden. You may have seen them set up at events like Keswick Mountain Festival. I have seen other brands use them as show spaces and folk bands play in them with bales of hay for seats. There is also a young lady who lives in one full time in the lakes.

The Flite is the latest in Tentsile's range of tree tents and hammocks, bringing a 2 man option that's light enough to carry for a wild camp.

Terra Nova are probably best known for their range of ultralight and competition tents these days but that's ignoring a huge heritage in solid 4/5 season tents like the Quasar. The new Southern Cross 2 is the latest addition to this line and looks set to become another classic.
