Highlander Respite 2 Person Extended Tunnel Tent – Pine Green

The Highlander Respite 2 Person Extended Tunnel Tent is a waterproof and spacious two-person tunnel tent designed for multi-day outdoor trips, cycle touring, bikepacking, camping, trekking and lightweight adventure travel. With its extended tunnel layout, it provides not only a comfortable sleeping area for two people but also additional living and storage space for backpacks, boots, equipment or even a canine companion.

The tent is ideal for users who want a balance between space, weather protection and manageable pack size. Its extended floor plan gives more usable room than a standard compact two-person tent, while the tunnel construction helps keep the setup simple and stable.

The flysheet is made from 210T ripstop polyester with a 4000 mm hydrostatic head, while the sewn-in groundsheet provides 5000 mm waterproof protection. Taped seams and a fully sewn-in floor help keep the interior dry during wet weather conditions.

Extended Tunnel Design

The Respite 2 Extended Tunnel offers more usable internal space than a typical compact two-person backpacking tent. The extended porch and living area provide valuable room for storing packs, wet clothing, footwear, cooking equipment or other outdoor gear without taking up sleeping space.

This makes the tent especially practical for cycle touring, bikepacking, trekking and multi-day camping, where keeping equipment protected and organised is important.

Weather Protection

The flysheet uses durable 210T polyester ripstop fabric with a 4000 mm hydrostatic head rating. Combined with taped seams and a fully sewn-in 190T polyester groundsheet rated to 5000 mm, the tent provides strong protection against rain and damp ground conditions.

The fire-retardant treatment adds an extra level of safety for outdoor use, while the aluminium pole structure keeps the tent light, strong and suitable for repeated pitching.

Ventilation and Comfort

The entrance features a two-way zipper and mesh window, helping improve airflow and reduce condensation. Additional curved ventilation zips at the upper door section allow more flexible air circulation during warmer or humid conditions.

Inside, the tent includes a mesh storage pocket for small items and a hanging / clothes line for drying lightweight gear or keeping essentials off the floor.

Recommended Use

• Camping
• Hiking and trekking
• Cycle touring
• Bikepacking
• Multi-day outdoor trips
