An all round decent tent with a few more features than similar lookng cheaper models from other manufacturers. Notably the silver skin which helps to reflect sunlight making it a little darker and cooler inside. Good for festivals and camp sites.
I've used this tent 3 times now, and it's just about roomy enough for 2 adults. The porch is airy and allows entry to the tent from 3 directions.
The included LED lighting system is handy for finding your way into your sleeping bag at night, but not bright enough for reading. I think Blacks should make this optional and adjust the price accordingly. A good head torch is invaluable for most camping and exploration situations, and doesn't have to cost the earth.
The tent comes with standard steel tent pegs which should be upgraded depending on the conditions you intend to use this tent in. I have yet to test it in howling winds and driving rain, but I think it should stand up to most 3 season general-camping use in Britain.
