this tent brought us trough europe first just the two 0f us and then later our little girl came along. it,s a verry fast pitching tent which is nice when it rains or you want to play whith your children after a long day in the car. we once woke up standing in 10 cm of water around us while the inside of the tent whas still dry and up till now it,s kept always waterproof. wind is your least problem as it is verry close to the ground and of a superb construction.the inside is spacious enough especially the portal where you can create a porch by opening the zippers in the top of the door to the left and right so you are out of wind and rain enyoing the view. to rest my case whe bought ours in 1997 and it,s still being used whith great pleasure. yours sincerely Huib Vreeken the Netherlands

Best tent till now! Looks friendly from the outside
spacious inside
big opening in front
seems quite durable (used 2 seasons). Its a inner tent first tent, which means that when you are caught in bad weather it takes a while before you and your gear are under a roof.
Its a quite tricky tent to put up anyhow because of all the poles crossing and the textile not wanting to cooperate, but once it's standing its a great tent!!!

I have used the Wild Country Monsoon as a base camp for years. It has survived the worst of the lake district weather when fellow campers tents have failed. Despite continual heavy downpours and a force 6 gale it didn't flinch. It even survived a rather boisterous golden retriever, who slept in it for many years. I have camped during Winter in it and it takes a huge snow load and still keeps warm.
It is almost a mountaineering tent, so that means that it will sleep two in relative luxury, three in comfort or four very good friends who don't snore!
I really recommend it, if you need a good tent. I always take this tent, even when I have a Teepee etc as its the best guaranteed shelter. If you can get the custom ground sheet. It gives extra base and keeps the tent safe. With both it weighs 6kg maximum, brilliant.
