Robens Cress 2 Pro Backpacking Tent

Why Choose the Robens Cress 2 Pro Backpacking Tent?

If you are looking for a lightweight 2 person backpacking tent that combines low weight, compact pack size and strong weather protection, the Robens Cress 2 Pro Backpacking Tent is designed for trekking, wild camping and multi day hiking in UK conditions.

The proven side entry sloping tunnel design enhances internal headroom while maintaining an efficient, wind stable structure. The inner tent is offset to create a practical porch storage area, plus additional storage space at the foot, helping keep rucksacks and boots organised without compromising sleeping space.

Weighing 2.3 kg with a minimum weight of 1.8 kg, and packing down to a compact 46 x 12 cm, it suits weight conscious backpackers who need performance without bulk.

Weather protection is strong for its category. The HydroTex Core flysheet offers a 4000 mm hydrostatic head with taped seams, while the 6,000 mm groundsheet provides excellent defence against wet ground. The tent is also wind tested to 112 km/h for added reassurance on exposed pitches.

Airflow is supported by covered ventilation at both ends and a mesh door panel, helping manage condensation during cooler nights. Pitching is streamlined through pole sleeves closed at one end and colour coded alloy poles and sleeves for faster setup in low light. It can also be pitched without the inner when required. A flysheet repair patch is included, and the tent is backed by a 2 year warranty.
