Maybe the top image is deceptive but that tent doesn't look like it has much headroom that and I don't think that ease of pitching in bad weather is going to be one of this tents strong points.

Wouldn't mind seeing one though.... wonder who'll stock them?

It looks to have the same configuration as a Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT which has to be one of the easiest tents to set up in bad weather.  Two pegs at one end and then pop the thing up and put two peg at the other end.  All goes up in a oner and then you go round it and guy it off.

88cm internal height, too low for (my) comfort, although it's probably mitigated by the fairly large area of usable space.

They actually look remarkably similar to the Fjallraven tents we looked at 5 or so years back when we ended up with the Kaitum (and back then we were rather taken with the rather nice blue too...).  Perhaps it's the fabric that's the New! Improved! bit?  I seem to recall we mainly called off in favour of the Kaitum because the K was twin entrance and a bit lighter, which would fit in with the theory that it's a better fabric that's the main difference here (as these are a smidge lighter than a Kaitum).

I'd agree there's nothing intrinsically tricksy looking  about setup: same as other Scandanavian tunnels which, are pretty easy.

The lack of headroom would certainly put me off which is a shame as they're a brand that get mentioned every time tall folk turn up asking for recommendations.
