Updated: 02/01/10 | | 'GREAT VALUE AND LIGHT WEIGHT' | | Strengths:
Light weight - it really is 3.2kg smack on the nose including the repair kit (I have the Spirit 300 TBS)
Easy to pitch
Loads of room[Update 02/01/10] Still pitches solidly (one panel sagging slightly) | | Weaknesses:
Getting the poles into the sleeves is a bit fiddly if it's windy
No porch or footprint groundsheet available[Update 02/01/10] Takes bit of time to peg out properly (but worth the effort) | | Overall:
I love this tent!
It is easy to pitch, very stable and packs down small.
At 3.2kg it is too heavy for solo backpacking but ideal if there are 2 of you. Stacks of room in the inner for 2 people and a massive porch for all your kit. We also use it when we camp with our 4-year old daughter as there is room for all 3 of us in comfort.
You can pick one up for around £240 so excellent value. [Update 02/01/10] I'm now using this for solo car-camping, having upgraded to an Akto for backpacking.
It's a great tent and positively palatial for one; sometimes I lie on my back in it and gaze at the cathedral-like roof... |
