Overall great tent 7 April 2008
By Trev
Bought this tent last year in order to complete the West Highland Way and it proved generally very capable. It poured every night and despite having to pack it up wet every morning, the interior was still comfortably dry when put up again at the end of the day.

The ground sheet is very thin and at first appears like it will not be very durable - but under usage it holds up well. On one occasion it let a small amount of water through, but to be fair I couldn't have been camping on wetter ground short of pitching in a puddle.

People who say that the space for 2 people is very tight are correct, and there isnt enough space for 2 peoples gear in the porch area (really this is best kept for boots), and it's necessary to leave bags outside. I use the tent out in the middle of nowhere so this isnt a problem, but this may be a consideration if your planning on using it in busier locations.

The side door is very useful as it is very tricky to climb in via the end door, especially if you have luggage in the porch area to clamber over. However, the side is not so useful in heavy rain when the tent does become pretty difficult to get into without allowing rainwater into the interior. You very soon get the hang of this though - just a bit frustrating at first!

In terms of stability thr tent is outstanding - multiple guy ropes, and a low wedge shape meaning that it will stand up to huge winds. The pitching system (which in gneral is ver straightforward and quick) should also make it far easier to pitch in high winds than most tents, especially with two people on hand.

Another impressive feature for me is the ventilation system - the roof of the inner skin is mesh while there are mesh openings at front and rear of the outer skin. This allows heat to escape keeping the tent reasonably cool in hot weather, while avoiding a draught through the sleeping compartment in cooler weather, and is very effective.

Although at 2.5kg this is by no means an exceptionally light tent, i get the impression this is because the fabric is of heavy duty quality, as the pegs, poles and groundsheet weight is kept to a minimum. Also, the pack size is very good - many people mistake it for my sleeping bag! Packing the tent away into it's bag is very easy as well, i have never once failed to roll it up to size first attempt and that's more than can be said for most tents i've come across.

Overall, this tent is excellent value and ideal if you are looking for a high quality, high performance, compact tent for backpacking.

I've been looking for a replacement for my usual hiking tent (a Jack Wolfskin) for years, and I never quite found what I was looking for - until now. The Avior X2 has all the features I wanted, and a few pleasent surprises too (a 4000mmm hydrostatic head is always welcome). The side entrance is convenient, leaving the porch free to be used as storage space (easily enough to put a 80 litre backpack and cooking equipment into). Erection and packing down are simple, and I especially like the "closed off" tent-pole sleeves.

As a minor gribble, it is a quite small 2-man tent; I'm comfortable in there, but 2 people in there would be exceptionally tight. the X3 might be a better buy if you're looking to share the space with someone else.

However, for the money charged this tent very good value, and I'd reccomend it to anyone wanting a moderatly lightweight hike tent who had £100 (or so) burning a hole in their pocket.

I took this tent to eastern Europe as a one man for three weeks. Space inside for me and my 75litre backpack, however, I agree with the above review that two people (with luggage in the porch) might be a bit of a sqeeze.

I'm afraid I am not able to assess the technical features of a tent, but the zip on the inner side door could have been designed better. The two parts didn't quite meet at the corner (the gap was no larger than 1cm though). Also, I found that the two sheets nearly meet at one point along the spine of the tent, and I was happier having the inner sheet droop slightly, just in case.

Please bare in mind that I think these two flaws are small, and it did stand up extremely well to *very* heavy, constant rain, and the small gap in the zip did not have any consequences - I just happened to notice it.

Overall, I was very pleased with it, and I shall be using it on many more holidays. Hope this helps :)
