NEARLY PERFECT

Very reasonable weight, great poles. Good seated height (~1m) so no problem for tallies
Fly sheet entry zip broke after half a dozen uses. Sent off to Scottish Mountain Gear who replaced the slider with a nice YKK one for £15 - sorted!

Kinda breezy with the large mesh panel on the inner roof.

Not flame proof outer.
Crackin' little tent, even for the extra £15 to get the zip slider replaced

NB This relates to the "Tiger Paws" model, not the one pictured.

WASTE OF MONEY

Its small and cheap
badly built, not water proof, condensation build-up, unstable in wind, roof too low
I bought one from Argos (like we all did) and used it once in Langdale on a dry summers weekend, woke up wet and cold as condensation had rubbed off the inside of tent and thro my sleeping bag. (yes the vents where open)
Gave it to a friend who cycles alot in spain!

CHEAP BUT BEWARE OF RAIN

Easy to put up, stands up to the wind, decent amounts of space inside, especially for the price!
Leaks like a sieve
I swear im talking about a different tent to everyone else here, i took it out seeing the 2000mm hydrostatic head, thinking short of torrential downpour all should be well, not to be. It rained solidly through the night but not a downpour as such, and i woke up soaking wet at four in the morning, not best impressed. having said that it was pretty windy, and there were no problems with that aspect. In short if your into fair weather camping BUY THIS TENT! otherwise something a little more sturdy might be a better investment.

CHEAP AND CHEERFULL

light weight
cheap
easy and quick to put up
condensation is a problem
a great tent for the price, I've used in rain and wind, just make sure to treat the seams with a candlestick or something like and nikwax the outer. I picked this up at argos for a tenner, can't moan at that.

RIP OFF EVEN AT £14.99

Price
Good anywhere it is guarenteed not to rain
Despite having a HH of 2000 the zips are not waterproof and if you attempt to get in during rain/after rain etc. the poor entrance design means water pours into the tent all over your stuff. Terrible condensation problems when fully sealed up and the tent never gets taut so water does not run off it properly.
Perfect as a cheapo summer tent- terrible if there is any chance of rain.
