 cheytz's recommendation | |
Very spacious, for two anyway. I've used it during the best a British summer can throw at it and I admit it kept us dry. Goes up pretty quick and easy too.
It sways like a drunken sailor in the slightest wind. In my opinion it is too tall.
During a recent trip, the fourth time I've used it, we got a stormy night, well it is summer in Britain. In the night the poles separated and tore through one of their sleeves. The first time I used it some eyelets came off; doesn't affect use of the tent but doesn't instil any confidence either. With hindsight I would buy a shorter tent with a front flap that can be lifted up to form a shelter. With this tent you either have the flap closed or rolled up which just allows rain to stream in. I would not recommend this tent at all.
