We are currently in the south west of France, we have been battered by a couple of 60 mph storms and not a sign of water or damage. This tent is easy to erect and we have the extension and I would highly recommend this as we use it to eat under when it rains or store our bikes under on a night time. This is the second set of bad storms we have had in France in this tent, last time we were in the Pyrenees and this tent stood strong and dry there too. This tent is fab.

We love our monty 6. We have now had it for 2 years and we have the front extension which I use as a kitchen/diner. The side porch we use as an ensuite for our camping loo. We camp a lot with friends and can easily fit 8 in around the table for dinner. It has done us proud and happily stood up to 70mph wind and torrential rain for 3 days during our last trip. Sadly our friends we went with had to put their Coleman in the bin on the way home. That weekend we were the envy of the campsite. The bedrooms are really spacious, as there is only 2 of us we use the 2 bedrooms as one. I would recommend getting the carpet too. It is at the higher end of the price range for polyester tents but I would have happily paid double for mine. If you are looking for a warm, comfortable and spacious home from home look no further, I dont have a bad word to say about it apart from dont follow Outwells pitching instructions watch the man at Yeomans on utube and you cant go wrong

Thank God for the Outwell Montana 6, The three of us and the dog went camping in extreme weather last week, not our intention but the winds went up to 50 miles a hour, it was the scariest night of my life. Not a scratch on our tent, where all the other tents around us had all ripped or collapsed. The Montana 6 is very robust great quality tent. Loads of room, I would definitely recommend this tent, but would definitely not recommend camping in high winds. Montana Fan

hard to errect in windy weahter

Having spent several months looking at many tents, I finally decided upon Outwell Montana 6 sue to its spacious interior and reviews on the internet.
Also purchased the footprint groundsheet which helps when pitching as you can position it first without having to worry too much about the tent. As part of the searching I came across video footage on you tube that shows a man from Yeomans erecting the tent on hos own. I followed his approach (rather than the outwell suggestions) and erected it for the first time in under 40 minutes. It is much easier to erect than previous tents I have owned. The only thing I wish I had checked prior to purchase was the actual dimensions as it only just fitted on our lawn.

We love our montana 6, it easily sleeps a family of 5, with room in the central area for a 6 seater table. The carpet is a must as it adds warmth underfoot and reduces the risk of holes in the ground sheet. The sewn in ground sheet makes it dry in wet weather and keeps the wind out. We have to front extension to cook under and use the side entrance to store food, cooking utensils etc. The tent has zip up fly sheets so you can have ventilation with your tent becoming full of insects. It is quite heavy to erect so a job for 2 adults but it is not difficult especially if you watch the videos of erecting the tent, and more importantly getting it back in the bag afterwards, on youtube. Several of our friends have now purchased a montana 6 after seeing ours!

I brought the Outwell Montana 2010 edition and I have to say its the best tent I have ever owned, used it for the first time over the weekend and I am very impressed, It went up easy it was spacious and was ideal for what I wanted. I nearly brought the 2009 version a few weeks ago but tthe shop I brought it off said am I interested in waiting and getting the new 2010 edition, I paid £429 from Newquay camping and leisure, wich suprisingly incuded free delivery , which I thought was a very good price from what I had seen around previously.

My Outwell Montana 6 is now in its 4th year of use and I have been more than pleased with it. The layout is ideal giving lots of space inside and good headroom. It is pretty sturdy and has survived a number of scary storms with no problems There are some negatives which are:
You need to buy a front canopy if you dont want to trudge water/mud into the tent (it's a shame it isnt incorporated with the tent)
Don't follow the directions with the tent, do a search on youtube and you will find the easy way.
Some of the poles split, but my local stockist always replaced these f.o.c.
Some of the elastic holding the bedrooms in place has had to be replaced.
All in all a great tent a little pricy if you buy the canopy/carpet etc, but you gets what you pays for.

outwell montana is a good tent but wished the front door design was better not keen on just the velcro connecting the front door wished it zipped up instead tends to leak when windy and rainy

can now put this Outwell Montana tent up in 20minutes on 2nd go (1 and half hours 1st time) and have even put it up with one-man. love the fitted carpet, bedrooms, easy to pack away - it just rolls into the bag.

The Outwell Montana 6 is very resistant to condensation. Excellent side porch entry when rain is heavy, meaning no water being brought into the tent. Easily expandable. This tent seems to make little of heavy rain and strong winds compared to other tents I've stayed in. Found a couple of small holes due to manufacture but were easy to repair with the provided repair kit. An all round excellent tent, great value for money.
