Nature Bound 6 man Teepee- Heads up and thoughts

[kiltedpict]

Hi all.

A local outdoors shop, Craigdon Mountain Sports is currently selling a 6 person TeePee for £69.99, reduced from £170.99.

Now, this sounds like a very good deal, but I am in a bit of a dilema- I already have a Bison Telt Lavvu 6 man, but as it is polycotton, it weighs a ton.

I wonder if anyone has any experience of this tent, or manufacturer (Nature Bound)- specifically, build quality and weight.

Craigdon sell online and via ebay as well, so if your interested, have a wee google (other search engines are available!)

Many thanks in advance folks,

ATB

KP,

They look exactly the same as the Argos tipis that were a hot topic on here a while ago.
I got one one of the 12 person ones, which leaked all the way around the mid height seam (despite being taped), before blowing away whilst securely pegged down.

Cheers, Michael.

I've got a couple of their folding sit mats but I don't think I'd buy the teepee if it is the one that Argos were selling. A pal of mine got one and took it back after one night out with similar symptons to Michaels. I think you get what you pay for when it comes to quality outdoor gear.
Have you looked at the Bison Tinde ?

EDIT:

I just remembered Nordic Outdoor are doing some good deal on Tentipis at the moment, the Kvarts 7 is £414.

I've just got a Vango Juno 800, not used it yet but I'll review it ASAP

Cheers folks. Will stay clear I think and save the dosh.... SWMBO thinks I would be better spending my cash on a nice wee one man tent that will last... I suggested the Akto and she didn't say no!!.. we already have the Lavvu and we have a large family tent (three rooms type affair) bought of a mate after one use, so I guess we have plenty of options for family camping... very thoughtful of her to think of me... or is it she just dislikes camping?! lmao.

ATB,

Had a look at it myself this Saturday in Craigdon. Looks in the "Festival" segment to my eyes.
