Gelert Alaska 6

Advantages: Plenty of room,easy to erect
Disadvantages: Having to put it away and go home

...We bought our first proper tent last year as it was at a knock down price,our thoughts behind it were if we were really skint we could still go of for a weekend with the kids for next to nothing. We purchased the marbella 6 which is made by gelert from our local camping out let and it was reduced from £100 to £79 so as far as we were concerned it was a bargain and snapped it up. The marbella 6 is a six person tent with two bedrooms and a living area in the middle, it is a dome shapped tent which allows you then to be able to stand up in the living area space in it,with a door either side of the living space you can then decide which door to open depending on what you want to be facing, both doors have a window on, it is of a green colour and has them bendy poles to erect it. The bedrooms are plenty big enough, me and the wife... Read review

...During the past ten years or so i have used a number of tents for a variety of different occasions, and i have to say, so far out of all of them, this Gelert Rocky 4 is the best of them by far. Gelert is one of the countries biggest family camping brands, and now has 30 years of experience in producing quality camping equipment.

On the Gelert website, and also everywhere i have looked ( and where i got mine from) the price of this tent is £44.99. For a four man tent, whihc holds a decent manufacturer name on the front, this is quite a reasonable price.

...Well, it is December, so I will write a review about a - TENT! The Gelert Eiger 3 is a three man budget tent, designed for weekend use or backpacking. It is actually only made to last between two and three seasons, but of course it depends on how you use and abuse it. The bag - this is made from the same material as the tent, and measures just 16 x 53 centimeters. It weighs four & a half Kilos, and can be worn on the back like a rucksack. Inside the bag, you will find fibreglass poles with elastic inside, these are "idiot proof" so they are easy to assemble. You will also see the tent itself, consisting of a flysheet, an inner tent with integral groundsheet, and 18 metal tent pegs. Sewn into the bag, is an instruction sheet printed on material, this is a good idea as you can not lose it. The instructions are well written... Read review
