Tentbox Lite XL Review

My thoughts following a road trip with the Tentbox Lite Xl rooftop tent. I took it on a 9-day trip through the north of France - mainly Brittany - camping out every night in it with my partner Hannah. I'll be honest, I didn't really get the concept of rooftop camping before this trip - why not just get a normal tent and camp on the floor? Well, this experience has shone some light on why people...

So where is that sticky comment you promised?
Helm compact 2 and save yourself 400 quid 👍
Thank yoi
What trousers are you wearing?
@@Playtospace they're by Cimalp. I think they might be their Rock Fit
Would love to see some updated Paramo gear videos, particularly the Alta or perhaps the Enduro Windproof vs the Bentu Windproof systems.
@EVLitterPicker will see what I can do! Have been enjoying the Helki recently.
I've had mine for more than five years and it still looks the same. The huge zip pocket on the chest means this is my travel and airport shirt, though I'd like to have more colours and a less military look. My girlfriend refers to this one as my "Hitler shirt."
😂
Gonna throw this out there, anyone used mtn jacket as a snowboard shell? Seem a damn sight more durable than some SB brands. Wondering whether one of these Makalus would do the job, size up to L/XL perhaps
Is it good for carry on luggage on airplanes?
I think it'd be marginally too big for that.
Mid layer name plz
Haglofs LIM ZT Sync 2 Mid Layer
How does this jacket compare to the Positron Pro?
I haven't tried that product, but having quickly glanced at the stats for it, I suspect the Mythic Ultra is both warmer and lighter. Though it is more expensive. Will
Thanks for the vid but doesn't the wash in waterproof stop your sweat from getting out through the micro pores?
It's not something I've experienced. I believe it's supposed to be specially formulated to prevent this. Will
The Nikwax reproofing solution basically 'sticks' to the existing DWR on the face fabric of the jacket, effectively topping it up. That's why using the wash-in version doesn't affect the inside of a shell or inhibit breathability (because only the outside of a jacket is treated with a DWR coating). That's also why Nikwax works best if you use it fairly regularly, i.e. before most of the DWR on your jacket has already worn away or degraded.
@@mattymountains What he said 😁
@@mattymountains thanks for advice. I'm gonna get Nikwax for my 'smart' waterproofs. What do you recommend for a 'rough' jacket with most of the proofing faded?
How do you compare nikwax to Grangers?
I've mainly used Nikwax in recent years so I can't really offer a fair comparison. I don't think there's much separating them in terms of performance. Nikwax have good sustainability objectives though. And it's employee owned 👍
Thanks for the video! Would be great to see more on Nikwax for garments and tents. In my experience it always seems like the waterproofing comes out not good enough when doing per product recommendations, and if I overdo it, theres white stains or non-uniform pale tint to the fabric
How many washes does treatment last? 20? Former version II company promised life-long (...), but with new, plant-based insect repellent this should be probably less.
@jozsaedmond4986 I believe it's supposed to be permanent. Will double check that with them though.
God , that accent in our hills gives me the boak. I wish these people would stay in their own country , surely they have places to go running.
@@benmacdui9328 you sound like a pleasant fellow.
@benmacdui9328 and by the way, I've done a fair bit of running in the mountains of my home country, as you'll see here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-58773037 Am I not allowed in Scotland though?
@@OutdoorsMagicTV lovely video. Ignore the xenophobe. I was up there last week doing a solo traverse of An Teallach...and a few days earlier, The Cobbler. All the Scottish walkers I chatted with were very friendly ..what we share in common is our love for the mountains.
@@marcchrys Thanks for the message - much appreciated. That's also my experience too 🙂 Will
Excellent content, effective video production and narration. Very useful. Thanks for sharing.
What’s the breathability like for hiking in winter . Thanks
whats your height?
@@DerRentner818 5 foot 10
Who dares wins
That SO impressing!!!!!
What was the weight of this kit? .... Can you break it all down? What you chose individual specifications of each item and so on.
I prefer my karrimor panther 3 . Yea its 1kg heavier but come on 3kg between 2 is nothing. Is bigger and goes up faster . Definitely stronger its got sleeves not silly clips to inevitably break. Its allso £500 cheaper 😂
This seems more like an advertisement than a review.
hella expensive but would pay for itself easily over a few months of me working on the road. no more stopping for a cold drink when it gets very hot, no more having to buy food on the go because the black car is so hot my food becomes unsanitary by mid day. i might invest. also, all the time saved finding drinks and food on the go, all invested in being more productive!
also will give me MVP credits on road trips with friends and family
If you prefer a shirt, rather than a t shirt, these shirts are the way to go. They'll take robust treatment for many years before they show any signs of wear.
K..
Over 2kg? That’s awful… I can think of two big Agnes, two msrs, two tarptents that are lighter for 2 people as well
Are you American? I'm guessing you've never used any of those tents on top of a Scottish 3000ft Munro.
What breed of dog is that?
Border terrier
Why no jumping on a bike 🏍️ going round TT course thinking ya Michael Dunlop.
😄
This is a well made video but, unfortunately, not my experience with the Keela Munro. The fit is awful. I'm 6'1" tall with 47" chest, size Large to XL usually. The L in the Munro isn't too bad on the chest, but the arms are WAY too baggy and with a length more suited to an Orangutan. Then there's the 'wicking' system which in my experience simply doesn't work. I end up wetter on the inside than out. I was really hopeful I'd love this jacket but there's not a chance I'd buy one of these again.
Bought one got really fed up with the 2 zip arrangement. Fussy and uncomfortable. Went back to the Adventure smock
I was gonna ask how much saw the comments
Excellent information thank you
What's just over 2kg in Merica? 4.5 lbs?
I think so
It's Solomon not salomen
Pfc free rots fast the old ones going good 20 years on
Thanks for the review.
Just bought one. It crinkles like a bin liner and seems embarrassingly thin for the money, so it's reassuring you've road tested it in cornstalky/rocky conditions. Great review, thanks
This review is super old now but I've still been using the same mat. In fact, in the time that's passed I used it on a 500-mile mountain fastpacking trip and it was excellent. I find it only crinkles when it hasn't got much air in it. Will
@@OutdoorsMagicTV brilliant, that's reassuring, and cheers for the update 👍
I'd be interested to hear if the cut has changed. I tried the medium and large and they were both unwearable, the back panel was so tight I could barely move my arms. 5'10 and 165lb, no resemblance to Quasimodo either! I'd have kept mine if the cut was even nearly normal. I like the nosilife trousers other than non of the ends of the stitches are locked so they all just come undone. Great product with silly mistakes.
£630??? 😂 I’d rather book a hotel ffs 😂
Hello everyone! We wanted to jump here to answer some of the comments that hope it will help :) The height of the catenary cuts and the height of the extended floor fabric is similar to the Hilleberg models. It does look more extreme on the Moa Lite in some angles due to the longer distance between poles. The higher catenary cut in the rear is intended to give the Moa Lite better ventilation. For this reason the ground sheet is extended upwards much higher than on competitors models. This may however be hard to see when the rear is rolled up due to the connection point being half way up the floor fabric. Thus the lower half is compressed down when the inner is pegged to the ground. When connected to the outer tent, the angle pulls the floor upwards and gives 15cm of vertical wall plus another 10 to 15cm of floor fabric on the slanted area. Regarding the risk that the rear pole may be pushed in/down in high winds, there is an extra guy line attachment point in the center of the pole where you may add an extra guy line to counter these forces. It is not included as standard to keep the weight down as the tent has been more than capable to withstand conditions that most people will encounter without the rear line. In harsh conditions we recommend to add an extra guy line, either straight or as a V for maximum strength both at the rear and at the front to further reinforce the already strong construction. Thanks for your comments and feel free to reach out to us with any questions! 😁
Hi, thank you very much for very much answering my comments and that of other comments too. I really appreciate this. It is however disappointing that Outdoors Magic have not responded in any way to my comment in 7 days and I see that other comments are two weeks old without being answered or responded to in any way.. I am an outdoor content creator myself and even when on holiday I still take some time to answer comments in a timely manner... Best wishes Tom
Looks great, thanks!
A cigarette of course .
Nice video thank you for bring this equipment Tony attention... Soooo much competition in the sleeping pad industry.... best wishes Tom
Hello thank you for taking the time to show this tent.. A couple of things that I noticed.. The catenary cut on the fly is really high on the sidewall and at the back quarter of the tent. This exposes the inner to rain and wind.. On the Hilleberg 3 season tents the groundsheet is very high to protect the inner. This doesn't look to be the case here.... Personally I also dont like the angle of that rear pole... When the wind hits the rear of a tunnel tent then it pushes down on the top of the pole and obviously you cannot guy this to support it.. Its ok on a dome tent as you will have crossing poles to strengthen the roof.. The more you crank up the guys at the side then this makes it worse as pulling the pole out at the side flattens it at the top... The angle of the rear pole will allow the wind to really push down on the pole IMO.... as it's angled nearly parallel to the wind and not perpendicular..BUT I suppose it is a 3 season tent after all. Best wishes Tom
I want to see how that back pole handles 50mph, especially with the angle of the guy lines in relation to that posterior leaning back pole. Are the guylines coming off the back pole at a 90 degree angle? This is a really compelling tent, especially if you want to pair it with a tarp. You mention head space but not how tall you are. Thanks
Hi Will! Great video that gives a nice overview of the tent. Thanks for that. I was wondering if you had experience in more harsh weathers. As in how the tent holds up in heavy rain and whether the inner tent keeps dry. It seems that during the high wind situation in your video the outer tent does not completely cover the the inner tent especially in the middle of the tent. Also, you mentioned that the lack of ventilation pockets on top of the outer tent was a con side for you. Have you noticed the ventilation being poor inside, whilst sleeping or so? Thanks in advance. Great video!
The only video on nikwax in the rain. Well done :) Nikwax is fantastic for Dryrider motorcycle jackets too.
Fantastic camping video. Thanks for sharing. 👍25
How does it compare with hilleberg anja?
I've not used the Anja, but funnily enough I ran passed one on Mynydd Mawr the other day and had a good look. To the naked eye they seem absolutely identical - and appear so on paper too. The Bach Moa Lite is obviously a little lower in price. I'm going to get my tape measure out this week to see what the Bach dimensions are and can compare to the Anja then (its dimensions are on the Hilleberg website).
