This 3 man tent was bought for wild camping expeditions in lowland areas. I had hoped it would withstand being put up and down by enthusiastic teenagers! It can be purchased from Millets for a cost of £49.99. It weighs 4.9 Kg and has a hydrostatic head of 2000mm (most start from about 1500mm). ... Read review

This 3 man tent was bought for wild camping expeditions in lowland areas. I had hoped it would withstand being put up and down by enthusiastic teenagers! It can be purchased from Millets for a cost of £49.99. It weighs 4.9 Kg and has a hydrostatic head of 2000mm (most start from about 1500mm). It comes in a good size carry bag (20cm x 66cm) with great handles. The guy ropes are bright fluorescent yellow so not easy to trip over.

Ease of use:
The tent is really straight forward to put up and took 2 people about 10 minutes. There are 3 poles which are colour coded so that the right pole goes in the right place. It’s a bit fiddly to attach the inner area to the outer sheet and this took the most time. The poles split for folding and go through the loop areas really easily.

Durability:
I took three of these tents out on a really dry weekend and two came back in need of repair after one night. The elastic inside the poles snapped and one ground sheet had caught and snagged leaving a rip of 4cm. This was surprising as the ground was fairly even with no stones. Fortunately the poles can be replaced for a cost of around £15 or buy replacement elastic and thread it through (which I did successfully and it held). The outer sheet of one tent ripped really easily on barbed wire (you would expect a rip but possibly not such a large one!). The porch area is a good size and 3 teenagers fitted in snugly with all their backpacks.
The same three tents stayed dry in very wet weather with minimal condensation - even the one repaired with gaffer tape!

My opinion:
This is a brilliant tent for festivals, campsites and backdoor camping and is reasonable but not ideal for expeditions or rough country.
