Zephyros Owners Thread

damn it! I just bought one online the other day and it was more than that

Well, don't be too upset; they had the Zephyros 2 advertised at £60, but, when I asked if they had one to buy, they said they didn't have them in stock, but the might be available online, although possibly at a different price.

So the £60 Zephyros 2 at Blacks may simply have been mythical...

Really can't see the point in the Z lite, when for £20 or so more you can have a comp.

Just given my Zephyros 1 it's first major outing,did the Cleveland Way and have to say I'm very pleased with the way the tent performed.

Just picked up a laser comp 1 2012 fom my good pal snowdon ranger £160 sheets delighted saves me waiting on the zephyros lites

An excellent purchase. The cost of lightweight tents has gone sky high and its far better to shop around than pay silly money out.I think from memory that the RRP for the TN Laser Comp is now in excess of £300 and I am sure that the 2013 prices will only go one way and it won't be downwards!

Just make sure that you replace the crappy pegs with a set of decent ones.

what is actually so bad about these pegs...i don't really get it haha

my pegs just bent over at the end and half of them were curled in the middle after their first use...i do have a tendancy to just stomp them into the ground with my foot though lol

I've found the pegs to be oood for pitching in normal conditions, but I've managed to bend the tops of two of them, so I purchased some stronger Y pegs.

I just roll mine round its end struts. But the struts slip our of their pockets if you prefer to carry them separately (in a wand pocket for example). Further back in this thread you will find suggestions for modding the struts.

Re the pegs, I don't rate the poorly-finished alu angles supplied with the Zeph. There are plenty of potential replacements - see posts above for recommendations..

Go for the 2 birth, the extra space is worth the weight & cost.

Great thread (Also hello forum )

Took my Zephy 2 out for the first time last weekend. Its a great tent although the weather was pretty tame so not got to give it a good go yet, got some Ti pins for it as I agree the stock pegs a terrible.

And thans SSP for the measurements for the end pole mod, was trying to find out if anyone had done this when I came across this forum.

I second that, Pinky. Not sure if the porch is wider in the one-berth version but the two-berth inner is comfortably large enough for a single occupant

Well I got my first chance to take my Zephy 2 out for its first real test this weekend. A nights wild camping in the Peak District. Very cold and windy in the evening with the rain and fog setting in around 11pm. The tent took it all in its stride and the 'End Pole Mod' detailed earlier in this thread worked a treat despite the high winds.
