OneTigris Stella Four-Season Tent Review: First Impressions

Affordable 4-Season Camping Tent Under £200?

I’m Andy from Beard in the Wild, and today I’m sharing my first look at the OneTigris Stella four-season tent. With a budget of under £200, could this be the UK-friendly, affordable 4-season tent I’ve been looking for?

Previously, I relied on the OEX Phoxx 2 V2 – a fantastic 3-season tent – but space was tight and I wanted something roomier and more suited to cold conditions. Enter the Stella.

Unboxing the OneTigris Stella Tent

What’s in the Bag?

Here’s what comes with the Stella:

• Cross-pole aluminium frame

• Smaller roof pole

• 10 lightweight tent pegs

• Guy lines

• Inner tent and flysheet

I also purchased the official footprint for added durability and protection from damp ground. It includes an extension for the vestibule area and cost about £20 extra.

Early Setup Notes

The tent is inner-pitched first, which may concern some campers in wet weather, but the inner has its own waterproof coating for emergencies.

Setting it up:

1. Lay out the footprint and peg the corners.

2. Attach the cross pole to the inner tent.

3. Clip the inner tent to the pole structure.

4. Attach the smaller roof pole.

5. Throw the fly over and secure it to corner buckles.

6. Peg out the guy lines.

It took a bit of trial and error, but the process is smooth after the first go.

Interior Layout and Comfort

Instant Space Upgrade

Coming from the Phoxx 2, the interior space feels huge. For solo campers, it’s genuinely luxurious. I could sit up, stretch out, and had room for gear.

Interior features include:

• Overhead loops for lanterns or a drying line

• Built-in mesh inner for airflow and bug protection

• Dual side doors and vestibules for convenience

The double vestibules aren't massive, but combined with the large inner space, there's more than enough room for solo trips or even a snug duo.

Four-Season Tent or Just Hefty Marketing?

Fly Height and Weatherproofing

A common critique is that the fly sits high off the ground, which isn’t ideal for wind protection. But the bathtub floor is high, offering substantial internal waterproofing.

The fly color is jet black – which isn’t the most stealthy for wild camping. I'd prefer earth tones, but it’s a trade-off for the value.

Quick Pros & Cons Summary

Pros:

• Huge internal space for the weight (approx. 2kg)

• Affordable for a 4-season spec tent

• Easy to set up once learned

• Quality materials and clips

• Built-in mesh for airflow

Cons:

• Inner-pitch-first setup could be an issue in rain

• Fly height may allow in drafts

• Not the most discreet color for wild camps

First Impression: Would I Recommend It?

Yes – for the price, I’m genuinely impressed.

For under £200, you’re getting a well-built, roomy, versatile tent that punches above its weight. I’ll be testing it properly on a wild camp tonight, so make sure you subscribe to the channel to catch the full overnight review soon.

Key Takeaways

• Value for money: Hard to beat at this price

• Spacious design: Great upgrade from ultralight tents

• Flexible use: Decent four-season features for UK weather

• Setup learning curve: Inner-first and unfamiliar pole layout, but manageable

Could this be the BEST 4 Season Tent - OneTigris Stella

Is the OneTigris Stella 4 Season Tent the best, budget-friendly 4-season tent, or does it fall short in real-world conditions? In this first impressions review, I take a close look at the OneTigris Stella, covering the setup process, space, ventilation, and overall build quality. As someone used to the OEX Phoxx 2, I wanted something larger, durable, and suited for UK wild camping—but does this tent deliver?
