Tents > Khyam Tents

The ups and downs of a family tent.

Advantages: Lots of space for everyone.
Disadvantages: No longer made.

The Khyam Michigan 12 was only made in 2007 so can be hard to come by now. But if you are after a large, well set out tent, and you find one of these then grab it whilst you can. The tent is an outer pitch first, or all in one. Personally we leave the inners in place which reduces the pitching time. The tent itself is large and can be difficult and heavy to put up. Saying that I am under 5ft and have limited mobility so if me and hubby can put it ...
...it is pouring down. Khyam did not make a carpet for this tent but we found a Gelert one that fitted nicely. As for the poles, they have withstood plenty of wind. So far after two years of use, only one fibreglass pole has split. This has been repaired and is still holding up. Two spares come with the tent. These 5 poles go across the top with steel ones holding them up at the sides. The tent is 5000HH, and this has again, been put to the test on ...

Review of Khyam Michigan Family Tunnel Tent

Yipee khyam

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

...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 ...
...have a tent that is essentially the size of an old fashioned ridge tent, with plenty of room to stand up inside without hitting your head on the roof (unless you're 6.5 foot) that can be erected in 5 minutes flat. This accounts for the main living area then the bedrooms are attached on separately with more conventional tent poles, but even so there are only 5 per bedroom and they are very easy to put into place. The bedroom inner sections are then ...

Review of Khyam Ridgi-dome classic XL

Errected in one minute

Advantages: QUICK to put up, lightweight
Disadvantages: A little stuffy.

This tent really does go up in a minute. I bought the tent on this reason alone. I’ve spent to many times arriving at a camp site at dusk and fighting against the light, trying to remember where I put the pegs and hoping I don’t have the tent inside out. Sound familiar? The tent is water proof, light weight and is very easy to carry in a small bag with handles that don’t cut into your hands – another common failing with tents. ...
...festival car park to the camping area. The only problem I have found is that it’s a little hot in the morning. The ventilation is in the roof but doesn’t seem to ventilate enough to clear a hangover at a festival but then again, what does? The tent comes with a patch kit and seam sealant. These are small enough to carry in the bag so if you have any unforeseen rips, you’re covered. As for size, its spacious for one and but a ...

Review of Khyam Vector

Brilliant Outwell Vermont L

Advantages: Space, Durability, Comfort
Disadvantages: Weight

In my opinion, this is probably the best Mid to Large tent that you could wish for. Unfortunately, as a previous reviewer wrote, it is rather heavy and although it is easy to erect it does take time as there is an awful lot of pegging down to do. However, once erected, it's like living in a palace, especially when like us, there is only my wife and I. We have weathered some quite severe storms with both wind and rain, where you felt like it was going ...

Review of Outwell Vermont L Tunnel Tent

Quechua Tent

Advantages: Very Easy to put up
Disadvantages: Takes a couple of goes to put it away. Easy once you know how

...easy. I also bought a Quechua blow up bed to use with it, the two together were the perfect match. I can't praise these enough I am yet to find a better make of tent. I recommend these to anyone looking for a quick and easy tent. I have also found a really good website to buy them from. www.quechua-tents.com There were so easy to buy from and I got the tent the next day with no hassle. ...
