Gelert Colima 3 TD

Advantages: Bargain price.
Disadvantages: Not for extremes of weather.

...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, and also... Read review

Advantages: Good size, Weather Proof, Easy to put up
Disadvantages: Not sure enough space for whole family on a long camping trip

...Me and my boyfriend got this tent for our weeks camping trip in north wales. The tent was extremely well priced, i guess because time was taken to shop around for the best price. It was just over £80 which i thought was excellent for the product you get.

Previous to our camping trip i got all the bits of the tent out and had a read of the assembly instructions.

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 and our... Read review
