This has been one of the worst tents I've used in my life. Sure, it's lightweight, colors are nice, and the floor plastic feels sticky, but the side-stitches snapped at the ropes when someone nearly tripped over one of them. That is real bad quality stitching I'm afraid! Aside from that the size is terrible as well. If two persons are supposed to fit in there, they must be midgets. One can barely sit up at the front. That's not mentioning the fact that there are no poles coming with this tent to begin with. You have to buy them separately, or use sticks or something.
Also, because it had only one layer, it is extremely cold and barely isolated against the outside weather. If it gets moist during the night, everything that's inside this tent gets moist as well. When it rains, the cloth leaks when touched. And trust me, you'll touch it because it is so low and claustrophobic inside.

Next time just allow yourself to lift a kilo or two more and have more space and a double layered tent. Preferably of a different brand, because honestly, I would not dare sell this crap if I'd been working at Robens. They should be ashamed to let people pay this much for such disaster waiting to happen. Don't fall for it. Save yourself the trouble of having to return a ripped piece of crap like I had to.

Welcome to Ciao - brief review but to the point

A brief review, but covers all points I think. I love camping, but it's miserable if you don't have a decent tent. Welcome to Ciao, hope you enjoy it here! All the best, Mike.
