If you are planning an outdoor adventure for two, you will need a 2-person tent. However, within the large selection of two-man tents, there are differences in the features and materials used. We’ll show you what you should look out for when buying a tent and which model is intended for which use.
Before buying a 2-man tent, you should always think carefully about what you want to use it for. If you are planning an extended trekking or cycling tour, a small pack size and the lowest possible weight are an advantage, as you don’t want your tent to be an unnecessary burden. If you have a lot of luggage with you and want to store it safely and protected from the weather at all times, you should look for a model with a larger vestibule. The weather conditions should also be taken into account when making your decision. Will you mainly be camping in normal climatic conditions for our latitudes or will your next tour take you to uncertain weather regions? Depending on this, your flysheet should be equipped differently.
All of Tatonka’s 2-person tents impress with their careful workmanship and robust materials and have proven to be extremely reliable in various practical tests. Designed as tunnel tents, they guarantee optimum use of space, as the room height is available over the entire length of the tent. Depending on the model, small or larger vestibules are available for storing your equipment.
If you are planning a hiking tour or a camping trip, you obviously don’t need a high-end model. Rather, easy handling, a compact pack size and robust features are an advantage. In our Allround series, you will find two reliable trekking tents in the Narvik 2 and Grönland 2 models.
If you value luxurious features in your 2-person tent, the Arctis 2.235 and Alaska 2.235 models from our Allround line are the perfect choice. These tunnel tents offer more than just weather resistance and durability in the usual high quality. Thanks to the extra-long inner tents and generous vestibules on both sides, they are real space miracles. Cramped and uncomfortable nights are a thing of the past, as is cluttered stacked luggage.
If you are planning a challenging expedition or trekking tour, you need a tent that fully supports your plans and you will find it in our Expert/Expert LT series. The Okisba was designed for use in extreme outdoor activities. Not only is it quick and easy to set up or stow away, it is also characterized by maximum robustness, weather resistance and lightness. The ultralight trekking tents Gargia 2 and Rokua 2 score points with their small pack size, long inner tents, spacious vestibules and optimized ventilation options.
Tatonka only uses high-quality and durable tent materials.
For the outer tents in our Allround line, we use quadruple PU-coated polyester with a water column of 8,000 mm on the inside. The material is color-fast and has good UV resistance.
For the outer tents of our Expert and Expert Light tents, we use silicone-coated nylon 6.6 ripstop fabric with a fiber thickness of 30 or 20 denier. This waterproof material is very light, extremely tear-resistant and extremely durable.
The waterproof groundsheet of our tents is made of PU-coated nylon with a water column of 10,000 mm. This ensures that no water can penetrate, even under pressure from lying in the tent.
The inner tents are made of air-permeable nylon material (particularly light in the Expert tents), and high-quality bug beater mesh with over 1,000 holes/inch² is used for the entrances.
Tent poles are made of lightweight and break-resistant aluminum alloys, in our Expert tents in ultra light design.
