Khyam Micropack Dome Tent

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... Read review

Advantages: Easy to erect, quality tent.
Disadvantages: Pricey for some.

...If you are looking for a spacious tent that is easy to erect then you need look no further. Description: The tourer 400 is a 4 person tent that has a central living space and two bedrooms, one to the right and one to the left. The main section is high enough for us to stand up in and both bedrooms are well sized. The tourer 400 is offered in khaki/dark green/pistachio colour scheme so may be a little on the boring side if you like a stand out colour for your tent but its functionality more than makes up for that. Erecting the tent: I've been a fan of Khyam's external click pole system since I first used it 12 years ago. The ease and speed of putting up the tent is worth every penny. To erect the tent you pull up on a central point at the roof apex and then click opposing elbow joints into place. Next you extend the 4 poles... Read review

Advantages: Its sooo easy
Disadvantages: none that I've found yet

...This is the most convenient, quick to erect and roomy tent on the market and is excellent value for money. Now with an opening like that the review better prove it to you. But I am so convinced of my words that this is the first new product I have suggested to ciao and as such thought it only polite to be the first to review it. The khyam rapidex ridgi dome system is revolutionary, gone are the days of feeding the poles through the canvas before you can put it up, or standing inside a tent holding it still while someone else does the boy scout thing and pulls the canvas over the top. Essentially the main body of the ridgi dome tent is permanantly attached to the canvas and it has quick release joints that just pop into place, once this is done the tent is practically up. The benefit of this is you can have a tent that is essentially... Read review
