This is what I found on the tent
MAKE Phoenix Phreak
1994 COST 207 pounds Sterling
WEIGHT 2.76kg
STYLE
Two person A pole ridge tent. Small pole at rear, with very small gear porch. Larger pole at front which extends porch. Two double entry zips.
Inner has two double zips, door and no-see-um mesh door; neoprene sewn in ground sheet.
PRIMARY USES General camping, backpacking.
# OF NIGHTS About 100, I've had it for 5 years.
SIMILAR TENTS BY
Field & Trek, Saunders and Vango make 3 pole A pole ridge tents but the Phreak is the only 4 pole one I know of.
CONS
Tapered shape, only one person can comfortably sit up in the inner at once. Not a lot of room for gear, you have to be organised. I've never yet pegged out the fly so it looks tidy; though that hasn't affected performance.
PRO
Pitches fly first. A must somewhere wet like Wales, Lake District or Scotland. The inner can be kept dry. Can be pitched single handed, even in a wind. Very stable in wind because of its low, flat profile. The fly bangs and rattles like mad but the inner hardly moves. The extended bell is great for cooking in (see the reason for fly first pitching
) but we use gas not liquid fuel.
hope this answers a few questions
