You could get lost in that porch!

It is light and very stable due to TBS system. The 200+ model with the huge porch is totally brilliant.

Mine is a few years old and feeding the poles in can be trickey as they stick a bit in the pole slieves. Slightly taller inside would be great.

This is a really great tent and i would use it in just about any weather. The light weight and huge porch make it a fantastic 2 person tent.

LIGHT WEIGHT AND HUGE PORCH (200+) BUT INNER TENT TOO SHORT

Ability to pitch flysheet and inner simultaneously.
Light weight and small pack size.
Big porch and loads of room to keep kit.
Build quality.

I'm 181 cm tall and can't comfortably sleep on my back with my feet pointing upwards as they press into the inner tent. The inner tent slopes upwards at a shallow angle at the foot end and is just too low where my feet are. It seems a shame that the inner tent is made so short given the overall length of the 200+.
Footprint (available separately) is expensive although it does cover the porch area.
Inner tent fabric could do with reinforcement where the stitching for the inside pockets is.

I'm very pleased with it. For me the main shortcoming is that I can't comfortably sleep on my back due to the inner tent pushing against my feet. Fortunately, I'm more of a side-sleeper which does alleviate the problem.

FANTASTIC TENT

Lightweight, small pack size, huge porch, very stable.

Can only adjust height of fly to floor on one side. Can be a pain getting poles through sleeves. I am 6'2" and have found inner slightly short.

Really pleased with this tent. Incredible the size of it given the weight and pack size. I have used this in very windy/wet conditions in scotland and switzerland and it has really proved itself. Does flap a bit in the wind but remains totally stable. The porch size means it is a great tent to see out bad weather and store wet gear.

ALOT OF TENT FOR YOUR MONEY

very light for its size, huge porch and easy to put up with a bit of practice

flaps alot in the wind, so very noisy in high winds though still very stable,quite a big gap between the bottom of the fly and the floor, you can only adjust from one side.

had mine for three years now, still cant find anything better for size to weight ratio in four season.
