Every tent that I’ve ever either bought or used has advertised itself to be a “two-man” or “four-man”, or what-have-you tent. They’re all liars. I suppose within the tent industry the engineers are all roughly four feet tall.

Space – How much room do you need inside your tent? If you’re camping alone, a two man tent is more than enough room. If you’re camping with a buddy, you’ll have to take into consideration whether you’ll need the extra room or if a two man tent is spacious enough. There are a few other great features about the Scorpion 2 that I liked as well. The color is a matte green rather than the gaudy neon colors that seem to be a requirement for most other tents on the market. This might matter more if you’re camping above tree line and want to be seen for safety purposes, but that’s not what you want if you’re bugging out. Putting up the Scorpion 2 was a fairly simple affair with colour-coordinated poles to help you get it right first time. I found the poles to be slightly fiddly to get through the sleeves – they got caught a few times – but this isn’t enough to put me off the tent.

Price – How much are you willing to spend? Depending on the tent features, size and weight, two person tents vary in price. Snugpak is a brand is synonymous with supplying the military, therefore you would expect quality and that is what you get! Like it’s big brother, the Scorpion 3, the Snugpak Scorpion 2 is well built using solid materials.

Having two doors on a tent is a useful feature when space is tight. On the Trespass Battuta, you’ve not only got a door on either end but also a vestibule on each too. With easy access from either side and plenty of space to store boots out of the rain, this two man tent is a great option for those wanting a little extra room.It’s frustrating to wake up and find that the inside walls of your tent are covered in water. You only find this out after you’ve accidentally bumped the wall and it all comes falling down on your face. Having cold water spit all over your face is an unpleasant way to wake up in the morning. The classic dome design gives plenty of headspace throughout, making this feel like a roomy two man option. With taped seams, you’ll find you stay dry in moderate rain showers, but you may want to look at a different option if you’re spending prolonged periods camping in wet weather. In terms of structure, this tent has aluminium poles, an internal layer that clips on easily and then the option of adding a flysheet on top for protection from the elements. The inner tent also has three Polyester mesh vents to allow for ventilation without allowing bugs to get in. Features

The Scorpion 3 IX™ will shelter you from the worst four-season weather, with a 5000mm hydrostatic head (HH) polyurethane (PU) coated flysheet, with taped seams.

With a 5000mm hydrostatic head, taped seams, and plenty of covered porch space, this tent fairs well in poor weather. The Scorpion 2 Tent gives you a robust expedition level shelter in the Snugpak Professional range. This versatile camping shelter is built around a super stable geodesic design which offers a practical living space with a low profile that holds up to the harshest of weather.

Performance In Severe Weather

Strong fibreglass poles make this a hardy and reliable tent that should see you through many enjoyable camping trips. With a versatile front vestibule area that is perfect for storing your gear overnight or using your stove, it allows for flexible setups whilst keeping you comfortable and protected in wet conditions. Design The Scorpion 2 features room enough for 2 occupants and kit with a front entrance and ample vestibule for added gear storage. A 5000mm hydrostatic-head flysheet provides storm protection with a bathtub style floor to protect against pooling in heavy rain. Let’s say you see the group a mile off into the distance. The average walking pace for most people for a mile is somewhere around 15 minutes. With a Scorpion 2, that would give you a ten-minute head start. Inside Space
