A new 3-berth family tourer for the 2004 Season with the sleeping compartment in the rear tunnel and a full height living area. The flysheet is 2oz PU coated 185 T polyester, with a hydrostatic head of 2500mm. The inner tent is breathable polyester. With Khyams Rapidex quick erect system this tent can be erected in a matter of minutes. The rear bedroom pole is made from shockcorded fiberglass.
Advantages: So auick & easy! Saves you getting wet when others are still constructing... Disadvantages: None that I can think of!
...The Mutts Nuts!
These things go up & down in minutes (or at least the 2 man vector does!) stand up to all sorts of weather (I've used mine in a hailstorm in gale force winds in Biarritz!!) & they are pretty light.
They also came in all shapes & sizes which are variations on the basic Dome.
When new you just fix the inner inside the Fly & that's where it stays, the tent is almost free standing when the poles are locked straight although like all tents it is important to stratch the peg rubbers when anchoring it down & apply the Guy lines if expecting rough weather.
Even with the Guys in place this tent only uses 12 pegs!
I've been touring on a mountain bike with one in France numerous times & the simplicity when you have to keep putting up / taking down is great.
Mine's also made from a ripstop nylon, which helps when it's run...

Advantages: Size, waterproof - quick to erect for size - smaller to carry/load compaired to others. Disadvantages: Pole ropes dodgy(?), tricky to shut zip without adjusting pegs, need to tether v. well.
...This is our second Khyamtent as we loved the quick-erect system.
Generally we are pleased with it due to its size (family of four) - if the weather is rainy there is plenty of room. We used it last summer when the floods happened and it was also quite windy. It witheld the rain excellently - it is highly rainproof - another reason why we bought it.
On the negative side we have had the inner cables (ropes) go twice on the main poles. You can fix these fairly easily and Khyam replaced the ropes with no hassle and no expense but I query if there is a weakness here. It can also be quite tricky to set up perfectly to ensure the zip closes on the front door again due to its size - this gets easier with practise.
The only other comment is that when we used it in some quite high winds (floods again!) you need to tether it very well...

Advantages: lots of living space great head hight Disadvantages: thin poles and unable to with stand wind! lots of movement
...my self and my parnter brought this tent because of the excellent amount of living space with a combined camping experience of over 30 years we both know how important putting the tent up just right really is, So after taking 2 hours to make sure that the tent was put up right it then collapsed with a gentle breeze tent poles snapped and ripped the tent ! would not advise this tent to anybody ! dont be taken in by the massive living space avoid at all cost !
The tent was fine in stormes however but useless in slight wind makes no sence at all! also the eyes put in the ground sheet do not match up so ok you have full ground sheet but then it not that full as there are lots of trip hazords....

The JBL on tour speakers are average, at the most. For their high cost, you wouldn't expect some of the severe design flaws present in it. The audio quality is relatively good considering it's size, and the maximum volume is very high, albeit containing... more
NFL Tour is a good game in that it features great gameplay and a twist on Madden.
It is easy to pick up for beginners to American Football and plays are easy to follow. The player has the option to revert to Madden game-controls which I would... more
When (if) you read the bible, you often come across characters that pop up only once, and are in the spotlight for a moment, and then disappear again... but you suspect they have more story to tell than is recorded. For example, the story of Joseph (and... more
