|  | | Posted: 13/06/05 | | 'LIGHTEST PRACTICAL OPTION IN THE BRITISH CLIMATE.' | | Strengths:
Light (obviously), and very roomy for one. Couldn't imagine two in here unless they were *very* intimate (if they werent to start with, they certainly would be after a night in here).
The porch is roomy, though not very wide.
The entire side of the tent opens, which is nice to sit in the bag and stare at the outside world.
It's also cheaper than an Akto (the only other tent i considered)
Did i mention it's light? | | Weaknesses:
Ok, there's no proper pitching instructions. I'm going to need some trial and error to get it pitched well.
Uncertain of how well it will perform year-round. But that's unfair as i bought it for summer 2-3 dayers.
Porch is wide, but depth isn't great. could be awkaward to cook in there? I'll have to wait for some rain to test that out!
The packed tent is a bit baggy and loose, not the tight, easy to pack bundle i expected. Still, this makes it easier to get in the sack and it fits ok in a tall pack.
Oh yes, and those darn pegs. | | Overall:
It's the lightest 2 skin tent out there (ok, the laserlite is lighter still, but smaller), so it's going to have some weaknesses. If you want the lightest 2 skin tent, this tent can't be beaten. |
