Is the OEX Phoxx 1 V2 Too Small? (Honest Answer – Real Use)

Quick answer:

The OEX Phoxx 1 V2 isn’t too small if you camp simply – but it will feel restrictive if you’re used to larger tents.

If you’re wondering whether the OEX Phoxx 1 V2 tent is too small for real use, here’s the honest answer based on using it for wild camping.

Short Answer

Yes – for some people.
No – if you already camp simply.

Why People Think It’s Too Small

You:

• can’t sit upright
• don’t have much space for gear
• feel the walls close in quickly

If you’re used to larger tents, it will feel restrictive.

Why It Works for Me

I came from a bivvy.

So this feels like:

• more protection
• more space
• still simple

It’s not a comfort upgrade – it’s a small step up.

When It Is Too Small

This tent probably isn’t for you if:

• you like sitting inside your tent
• you cook under cover
• you spend long periods inside

When It Works Well

It works if you:

• camp for a night or two
• stay outside most of the time
• keep your setup minimal

Final Thought

It’s only “too small” if you expect it to be something it isn’t.

This is a low-profile, no-frills shelter.
Used that way, it makes sense.
