Product Information

The only gripe I really have is that the height of the taller end of the tent(entrance end), is just slightly too low. I am 5ft 2inches and can crouch well, but found it uncomfortable to sit upright whilst sitting out a rainstorm.

First pitched in snow it worked perfectly, Woke up to torrential rain once that had turned the ground into a pool, the groundsheet stood up to the task and didn't let a drop of water through. I never sleep with both inner doors closed, only the mesh, with both it can get humid inside especially overnight, leave the vents open on the outer and it will allow nice airflow through, but if you are out of the wind, not enough to provide air circulation for the inner tent. Low and angled down enough to take strong winds with ease, you loose out on headroom but its no problem getting changed inside.Yes, there are tents that are a bit lighter, employ better quality materials and have a few more bells and whistles, and for that reason, I have given this product four stars. However, that seems somewhat churlish when set against the price of this product. It rained continuously during my first night. The ventilation panels did their job, with not a drop of condensation present. That said, this was a mild July night and I was using the tent solo, so I cannot comment as to the outcome if those variables had been significantly different.

I am 6ft 6 in height and one of the biggest problems I have when camping is the sleeping area is too short. I fit nicely in this one. Not a bad tent for the price, too small for two full size people (maybe two teenagers on DoE), but nice size for one person +bag. The tent forms a wedge with the foot end both narrower and lower. Point that bit into the wind. (yes I know, then the wind changes direction, but at least we tried eh?)Mine is obviously an older model. No windows, no ark type poles. It pitches inner first and the inner is mostly mesh which means it's well ventilated. When touring in warmer parts of Europe I've often left the fly off. Great for taking advantage of any slight breeze and brilliant for stargazing from the comfort of your 'bag. I noticed a few small darker patches along the ridge the following morning. I shall probably apply some additional proofing to these areas as a precaution. That said, there was no evidence of water penetration and the overall construction is of a very acceptable standard. At nearly 3Kg its not exactly light either in comparison to more expensive designs, the comparatively palatial MSR Elixir 2 I replaced this with weighs nearly 800g less and is much larger shelter (at 6x the price admittedly). Value for money, a good middle ground between a standard 2man tunnel and a minimalistic tunnel tent
