Bach says
The simple, classic and free-standing 3-season dome tent is ideal for backpacking. It can be accessed from two sides and offers two spacious vestibules thanks to its hexagonal basic construction.
Our Verdict
The Guam 2 from Bach is an excellent free standing tent. At just over 1.7kg you get a lot of tent with this option in the form of two entrances with well proportioned porches and a generous internal space with enough room for two people sleeping comfortably.
The high spec materials used have allowed Bach to produce high performance without adding weight or sacrificing durability which is pretty impressive. The simple but effective pole structure allow the Guam 2 to be genuinely freestanding. It is quick and easy to put up in any conditions with a bit of practice.
This is a good choice for backpacking in changeable conditions as it is robust enough to cope. It's not the lightest but it is still a great option when you compare it's build quality and performance against any other similar tents.
