Khyam Storm Guy Kit

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

...and overall the whole thing feels very airy and not at all restricting. As you would expect from a quality make the tourer 400 also is very waterproof and Khyam supply a repair kit and a selection of spare parts with each tent. We also bought the relevant footprint groundsheet which would be a wise investment to help protect such a great tent.

Advantages: So auick & easy! Saves you getting wet when others are still constructing...
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

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....
