Advantages: good for memding small holes and tears
Disadvantages: none

...shop and bought myself a Eurohike nylon repair kit. This kit cost me £2.99. The nylon repair kit is in a small clear plastic wallet with a card top which gives instructions for use on it . . I found this pack hanging up on a display rack a hole is punched out of the card top for easy display hanging. I finished the rest of my shopping and went home. After a cup of tea, I looked at the kit and read the instructions. In this kit were 4 different ...
...cream a brown each measuring 15cmx71/2cm. each piece of fabric has a backing paper stuck to it. I read the instructions then got my poor ripped waterproof coat. All I had to do was cut a patch big enough to cover the rip; I cut mine a bit bigger than the rip. Then I peeled of the backing paper and carefully stuck the patch over the rip on the inside of my jacket, although not really necessary I cut another small patch and stuck over the rip on ...

Advantages: easy to put up, quality, size inside, price
Disadvantages: size when stored, no porch.

I already own 2 "normal" tents, but went on a 7 day bike race where i needed to put up and take down the tent 7 days in a row. I splashed out £45 for a "pop-up" tent. The thought of it errecting itself was very appealing!! Sceptical at first, I popped the tent out of it's bag and pegged it down with 4 pegs.....job done......in about 60 seconds. I couldn't believe it could be so easy!!!! Once the tent is up it is like any other, with an inner and ...
...It has vent to help reduce condensation, although some did form, but then i've never been in a tent where there was no condensation!!! The one I have is a 2 man version which accommodates 1 person + luggage with ease and would accommodate 2 people with some luggage. This tent took on some heavy rain and wind in the 7 days i was using it, with ease! My plan was to sell it after my 7 days of using it, but i'm so impressed i'm keeping it. Folding ... Read review

Advantages: Spacious
Disadvantages: Poles incapable of withstanding UK August weather, No spares, No response from Coleman

...badly. We scrapped our holiday. Coleman have not responded to emails and my local store tells me they don't hold spare parts like poles now they are made in China. Also they no longer make this tent. To start with we thought this was agreat family tent and were very happy, but this is the first time in many decades of camping in all sorts of conditions I've had a tent fail so badly and customer service is non-existant so beware! ...

Advantages: value for money, ease of erecting, space, ventilation, weight
Disadvantages: ventilation, mine leaked

I bought this tent from a discount online store. This is a tunnel tent and relies entirely on being properly pegged to stay erect but once it's pitched I found it more stable in the wind than any dome. On my own I can have it up in 5 minutes. The living area is almost the same size as the inner tent and big enough to kneel up in. The tent comfortably sleeps 2 adults and accomodates 2 adults and a small child. The living area sets it apart from any ...
...weather is so unpredictable. You could easily cook and spend a few hours in there without feeling uncomfortable! It's also good for cycling as bikes and luggage can be stored in the front and it only weighs 4.2kg which is a good bit less than similar makes. Inner tent has a lot of vents; good for summer but if it's cold take a warmer sleeing bag. Also, mine had a leak just off the seam in the fly sheet where it looked like the tape hadn't been laid ...

Advantages: easy to put up
Disadvantages: not durable enough

a very good tent, easy to put up, can be done in around 20 mins. can stand up in it so it helps when getting changed. holds six so ideal for a family. but there is one problem - do not use it in strong winds! we went camping, as a family. me, my brother, my mam and dad, my nan and taid. (yes my nan and taid!) so we set up the tent blah blah and to sleep. 3 in the mornin me and my bro were woken up to the tent fallin on us. The pole had buckled ...
...head. We moved to the porch because we couldnt be bothered wake everyone up. When i next woke up my mother was pulling me out from under the tent. The whole tent had collapsed in the wind and rain! so there we all went, nain and taid and all, packing up the stuff from under the tent, in the rain and after a good soaking got in the car and went home. so lets just say not the best camping experience! xx ...
