The Domex Scout 2 is an incredibly versatile three - season camping tent that can comfortably accommodate 2 or 3 smaller people. It's a top - notch choice for touring or backpacking, especially when the weight of the tent is shared among individual hikers.
This tent features a UV - resistant polyester tent fly. If you plan to use the tent often in sunny camping spots or keep it pitched for long periods, this material's excellent UV resistance will significantly extend the tent fly's lifespan.
Despite being compact and lightweight, with a packed size of 56 cm long and 18 cm in diameter, it offers generous internal space, ensuring comfort even during extended stays.
Setting up the Scout 2 is a breeze. Thanks to its hub frame design, just like all Domex tents, it can be quickly and easily assembled by one person. Its free - standing design provides the flexibility to set it up on various terrains. You can even move the tent around before pegging it down.
When it's time to move on, dismantling and packing up the tent is fast and simple. Whether you're staying at a campsite for a few days or constantly on the move, the Scout 2 is an ideal option.
This tent is full of useful features. It has a durable polyester oxford tent floor, air vents to boost airflow and reduce condensation, and plenty of vestibule space for gear storage. There are also four storage pockets, a lantern hook, and a mesh inner tent that keeps insects out while enhancing ventilation.
The combination of its multi - use functionality and low price makes the Scout 2 an outstanding value purchase.
We highly recommend using the matching footprint (an optional accessory) to protect the tent floor. It also makes packing up quicker and cleaner. Any mud and debris will be on the footprint, so all you need to do is quickly wipe the condensation from the tent floor before rolling it up.
Here are some more details about its great features:
- Easy to set - up: The hub - dome design with interconnected pole sections allows one person to set it up quickly.
- Free - standing design: Offers flexibility on sites with vegetation, uneven, wet, or rocky terrain. It can be easily shifted before pegging.
- Easily - identifiable points: Fluro webbing, zip toggles on the inner tent, and luminous flecks on the outside zip, guylines, and peg loops make it easy to identify in low - light conditions.
- UV Resistant Polyester tent fly: Although not as tough as ripstop nylon, the extra UV protection extends the tent fly's life. The air vents can be closed if needed.

Using the Domex Scout 2 tent is quite straightforward. First, find a suitable spot for your tent. The free - standing design allows you to place it on different types of terrain, like areas with vegetation, uneven ground, or even rocky spots. After choosing the location, you can easily set up the tent by yourself. Just connect the pole sections, which are interconnected by bungee cords, and use the hub frame design to assemble the tent quickly. Once the poles are in place, you can adjust the tent's position before pegging it down.
When it comes to using the vestibules, they're great for storing your gear outside the inner tent. You can keep your boots, backpacks, or other equipment there, and they also offer extra protection from the weather and better airflow.
Inside the tent, use the four storage pockets to keep your small items organized. Hang your lantern on the hook for some light at night. The mesh inner tent will keep insects out while allowing fresh air to circulate.
Now, for the footprint. If you've got the optional footprint, lay it down before setting up the tent. It'll protect the tent floor from getting dirty and make packing up much easier. After use, when it's time to pack up, first remove the pegs and guy lines. Then, carefully take down the tent poles and fold the tent. Wipe the condensation from the tent floor if there is any, and roll it up.
Here are some important notes. Avoid setting up the tent in areas prone to flooding or strong winds. If it's very sunny, the UV - resistant tent fly will protect the tent, but it's still a good idea to provide some natural shade if possible. When using the air vents, you can open them for better airflow during normal conditions and close them if it gets too cold or windy.
For maintenance, after each use, make sure to dry the tent thoroughly before storing it. This will prevent mold and mildew from forming. If there's any dirt on the tent, you can gently clean it with a mild soap and water. Check the tent poles and guy lines regularly for any signs of damage. If a pole gets damaged, you can use the supplied pole repair tube for a temporary fix until you can get it properly repaired or replaced.
