I bought this tent for a 2 night stay for just myself to use. I bought it from Go Outdoors for just £25 although other websites and shops sell them at a little more than this, most of them retail at around £35.

First of all it comes in a neat little carry bag which took up hardly any room at all in my car!!!

I decided not to attempt putting up the tent before i went away as i normally do so i have some idea of how it goes together!! I decided it shouldn't be too difficult as it was only small....i was right, it was easy to put up and didn't take long at all. For a two man tent it has a good sized storage area or porch at the front. The ground sheet in the porch is also sewn in which saves extra faffing once the tent is up.

I could easily lie down in the tent and another person would easily have fitted in there with me too.

It rained both nights i camped in the tent and it didn't leak or anything which is always a good sign!!

It was quick and easy to put away and back into the bag aswell and again this didn't take long.

Another feature of the tent is that it has high visability guylines (which i find is always handy when walking back to your tent in the dark - saves an unexpected trip!)

The only disadvantage i can find with the tent is that the porch is uncovered whilst opening the door to get out of the tent. Therefore if you have things sat in the porch and its raining and you open the door for a fair amount of time, your things in the porch would get wet. But i wouldn't class this as anything major!

Overall i was impressed with this tent and for £25 this was a fantastic little tent!!
