Review: The Easy Camp Star 200 is a starter-tent for those new to camping, or for those looking for a budget tent for summer camping or festivals. With just two poles it's easy to erect and the tunnel design gives it more stability than other budget two person tents. The materials are good quality, but a hydrostatic head of 2000mm for the flysheet suggests the tent might struggle in extreme conditions. On the downside, the internal dimension are very cosy - 210cm long means that tall people will struggle to stretch out, and 105cm wide at its narrowest is very tight for two people (but roomy for one). For backpacking, this tent isn't heavy, and shared between two people it would only burden each as much as a one-person tent, but you'd need to be very good friends to share the small space. A good budget option as a one-person base, or a couples' two-person backpacking solution.
Best bits: Reasonable price, lightweight option for budget two-person tents
Worst bits: Smaller than average internal dimensions, not suitable for two big people
Alternatives: Tall people looking for a budget one-person tent should consider the
Gelert Solo instead, for an extra 40cm of length and only 15cm less width. For those looking for more space, the Easy Camp Eclipse 300 offers an extra 50-75cm of width for an extra few pounds.
