Product Information

The fabric: The tent is a true double-layer type so you have a polyester shell with the vestibule and its waterproof rating is impressive 5000 mm. The inner pod is a lovely subtle yellow colour, not too bright and it gives a nice light and airy feel to the inside of the tent. Well lets just say that the drive to Loch Muich was rather entertaining, as was he walk from the carpark to the Loch. Small gripe, the ventilation isn't very efficient and condensation builds up when using the tent in winter or icy conditions.

Impressed with the good quality of the dry bags and the packing system which means the weight of the tent can be easily and manageably shared between two walkers. Would recommend to anyone looking for a decent two man to facilitate some wilder hiking and camping. If you have a bit of time and want to find out more about OEX Jackal III Person Tent after reading the reviews then YouTube is your next stop. If you look carefully you can find some really reputable sources for professional reviews, much like this top 8 tent review from Independent. In fact they probably fit in the final segment we mentioned above whereby they deliver a fantastic overall package.The vestibule flap is with two zippers on the sides so you can unzip it completely and fix above the entrance as the picture shows. Also in the morning I found it difficult to open without the rain and dew dripping into the porch and on to me. They do not provide the exact number for the area, but my estimate is that you have around 43 ft² (4 m²) in the inner tent. Anodised aluminium rings for guy rope tensioners instead of your usual plastic, metal poles, nice thick pegs, anodised loops for the ends of the poles to sit in. However, we had lots of wet ground at our pitch so it was greatly appreciated and a very handy feature.

It is compact and light but it is somewhere in between camping tents and trail tents, perhaps equally good or equally bad for both. Very minor downside, can be a little tough getting the poles in there straps as they have limited tensioning allowance and the eyebrow canopy is quite tight too. The poles attach to the tent’s base through the usual grommets, and higher you have clips and long sleeves. The OEX Coyote III is the largest tent in the OEX range, letting you camp in comfort, whether solo or with a companion.This means that you can not only split the tent between 2 people, you can also stash them on the outside of your backpacks without the need to using another dry bag. With that end being just that little bit lower, it’s a little more aerodynamic and experiences less buffeted by the wind. You can have the inner door closed but the mesh panel wide open, this would be perfect for those hot sticky nights where you need a cool but done want to be bitten to death by the midges and other insects. What you see also is the floor which you have in the vestibule area, it is attached to the inner tent and this is great to have so that you can keep your backpacks and other stuff separated from the wet ground. So I have not included it in my list of backpacking 3 person tents, it is in my list of 3 person tunnel tents for camping.

However, if you’re still on the fence and want to look at some more options, here are some great alternatives to consider.It weighs in at just over 3kg and packed down is about the size of a rolled up pusser’s issue roll mat. The OEX Jackal II gives you all you need for comfortable camping, whether solo or with a companion, but weighs next to nothing and packs down to a size that won't slow you down. Note that both carry bags have a nice roll-top closure with a buckle on the top, plus sewn-in webbing loops which are there so that you can attach each of the carry bags to your backpack. The awning is handy for storing things, and the mesh is Scottish Midge repellent, which is a much needed feature for us!

Reviews will give you a great detail of information and with any luck some of the reviews will have provided information about the quality of OEX Coyote III Backpacking Tent. It’s great for helping you find your tent, and it looks cool too, but for a stealth camper it may bother you. A couple of minor downsides I found are the standard guy lines are really thin and found other people at the campsite kept tripping over them so I changed them with thicker and brighter lines and the light hanging hook in the inner tent is down by your feet.The space inside is more useable than other tents I’ve looked at as the footprint is roughly rectangular instead of coffin shaped.
