The Wild Country Coshee Micro is an angled tunnel tent with two poles. It pitches as a unit and in only a few minutes – of all the tents tested it was the quickest and easiest to get a taut pitch. It has a burly 68D polyester flysheet (although the material is not ripstop) and the 68D groundsheet also feels reassuringly durable. I liked the solid inner with good ventilation. The included poles are of good quality. The V angle pegs perform ok but bend easily. One downside is that only 8 pegs were included, but there were lots more potential pegging points.
Alex Roddie’s verdict
If you are looking for a durable, weather-resistant tent with a low profile, this could be worth a look. But there are better options for the weight and price that offer much better living space.- Easy pitching
- Great in high winds
- Durable materials and design
- Poor living space
- Hard to get inside

The structure is very low to the ground and fantastically stable in high winds. But the doorway is at knee height; you have to crawl in. And the living space, even for my 5’7” frame with medium build, was extremely cramped. I found both head and feet pressed against the inner, and there’s no room to sit up. The porch is just about big enough for shoes and a small pack.
