  Product Description
The Outwell Sky 2 is a two-room tunnel tent that balances compact packing with surprisingly usable headroom. Its 8.5mm and 11-12.7mm Duratec fibreglass poles create a front-to-back tunnel structure, giving you a bedroom at the rear and a standing-height living area under the front canopy. The vertical front wall makes better use of interior space than traditional sloping designs, which matters when you're working with a tent this size. At 10.9kg packed weight and 57 x 28 x 24cm dimensions, it fits in most car boots without dominating your entire luggage allowance. The single HookTrack pitching system means you're threading poles through sleeves but then simply hooking the inner to the flysheet, which gets the tent up in about 8 minutes once you've done it a couple of times.

The Outtex 3000 Select flysheet carries a 3000mm hydrostatic head rating and uses PFAS-free water repellency treatment, which performs adequately in typical UK conditions but won't match heavier-duty expedition fabrics if you're camping through sustained downpours. The sewn-in groundsheet is double-coated polyethylene that creates a sealed barrier against ground moisture. Front door ventilation works through double zips that reveal a full mesh panel behind the main fabric door, letting you control airflow while keeping midges and mosquitoes outside. There's also rear ventilation in the bedroom and airflow paths under the front canopy. The Dark Premier bedroom fabric blocks early morning light reasonably well, though absolute darkness depends on pitch orientation and surrounding conditions.

Mesh pockets inside the bedroom keep phones and headtorches within reach overnight. UPF 30+ sun protection in the fabric matters during extended daytime use, particularly if you're pitched in exposed coastal or moorland sites. The tent pitches flysheet-first if weather looks threatening, or as a complete unit when conditions allow. Worth noting that fibreglass poles, while lighter than steel, need careful handling during setup as they can split if forced or bent beyond their natural curve. This tent works well for couples who don't mind close quarters or solo campers who want separate sleeping and living spaces without carrying a massive pack size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the actual usable headroom in the Outwell Sky 2 living area?
The vertical front wall design in the Outwell Sky 2 provides standing height for most adults in the front living area, typically around 180-185cm at the highest point. The tunnel structure means headroom tapers toward the rear bedroom section, where you'll be sitting or lying rather than standing. The vertical front wall creates more usable interior volume compared to traditional sloping tunnel tent designs of similar overall dimensions.
How does the PFAS-free water repellency on the Sky 2 compare to older Outwell tents?
Outwell switched to PFAS-free water repellency treatments across their range as part of their Caring Choice environmental commitment. The PFAS-free treatment on the Sky 2 performs adequately in typical UK camping conditions with the 3000mm hydrostatic head rating. Some campers report it requires more frequent reproofing compared to older PFAS-based treatments, particularly after extended UV exposure or multiple seasons of use. The environmental benefits outweigh the slight maintenance increase for most users.
Will the Dark Premier bedroom fabric block all light for late sleepers?
The Dark Premier bedroom fabric significantly reduces light penetration compared to standard tent materials, blocking most early morning sunlight. Complete darkness depends on pitch orientation, surrounding light sources, and weather conditions. Light still enters through the bedroom door when opened and through ventilation points. The fabric works best when the tent is pitched with the bedroom facing away from sunrise direction. Most users report being able to sleep past dawn without light disturbance, though it won't achieve blackout-level darkness.
Can the Outwell Sky 2 withstand strong coastal winds?
The tunnel design of the Sky 2 performs better in wind when pitched with the narrow end facing into prevailing winds, reducing the profile exposed to gusts. The Duratec fibreglass poles provide reasonable flex in moderate winds but are less robust than steel or alloy poles found in expedition tents. Guy lines must be properly tensioned and all pegs secure for wind stability. The tent handles typical UK campsite breezes adequately, but exposed coastal or hilltop pitches in sustained strong winds will test its limits. Consider using additional guy lines and heavier-duty pegs in exposed locations.
How does the HookTrack pitching system work on the Sky 2?
The HookTrack system on the Outwell Sky 2 combines traditional pole sleeves with a hook attachment method. You thread the Duratec fibreglass poles through sleeves on the flysheet to create the tent structure, then attach the inner tent using hooks that clip onto tracks or webbing along the poles. This hybrid approach is faster than all-sleeve systems because you're not threading poles through the inner tent separately. The 8-minute complete pitch time reflects this efficiency. The system allows you to pitch flysheet-first in poor weather, then hang the inner tent afterwards while staying sheltered.
What size sleeping mats fit in the Sky 2 bedroom?
The bedroom compartment in the Outwell Sky 2 accommodates two standard camping sleeping mats up to approximately 60cm wide each, or 120cm total width for a double mat. The tapered tunnel design means the bedroom is narrower than the front living area. Standard rectangular mats (183cm x 51cm) fit comfortably side by side. Self-inflating mats or thicker air mattresses work well as the sewn-in groundsheet provides a sealed barrier. Sleeping bags and bedding take up additional space, so the bedroom feels snug for two adults with gear stored inside.
Does the sewn-in groundsheet on the Sky 2 make it harder to clean?
The sewn-in double-coated polyethylene groundsheet creates a sealed barrier against ground moisture and prevents draughts, but it does make cleaning slightly more involved than tents with removable groundsheets. You need to sweep or vacuum debris out through the door rather than lifting the floor. Spills require spot cleaning in situ. The sealed design prevents mud and water ingress far more effectively than separate groundsheets, particularly on wet pitches. Most campers find the weatherproofing benefits outweigh the minor cleaning inconvenience. The groundsheet wipes clean with a damp cloth when the tent is pitched.
How long do Duratec fibreglass poles typically last on Outwell tents?
Duratec fibreglass poles on the Outwell Sky 2 typically last 3-5 seasons of regular use when handled properly during pitching and packing. Lifespan depends heavily on setup care, as fibreglass splits when forced or bent sharply beyond its natural curve. The elastic shock cord inside poles degrades faster than the fibreglass itself, typically needing replacement after 2-3 seasons. Poles are more vulnerable to UV degradation when left pitched for extended periods. Storing the tent with poles loosely assembled rather than tightly packed in the bag extends their life. Outwell supplies replacement pole sections, making repairs feasible when individual segments crack.
