Someone over at British Blades or Song of the Paddle got one last year, mixed review, but for the money I guess you could give them an extra proofing and get a good 2 season tent?

A while ago someone posted about the seams round the windows leaking. I had one last year and it's ok tbh. Not had it out in rain yet but it seems to be proofed ok and all the mains seams are sealed. I don't think i would have paid the full rrp though, i don't think they are worth that much. I went for the 4 man btw.

i would try yours out in the garden in the rain before you put too much faith in it.

It's quite heavy. I'd have thought a teepee would have been lighter than an average tent. Maybe I'm not thinking it through properly though

I have the 4-man one and if I could take it back I would!
I've used it once last year and the amount of condensation that built up inside over the course of the w/end was ridiculous! They're pants to put it politely!!
Oh and they are heavy base camp next to the car park material only.

"alas it was mine"

And mine, although mine was one of the Millets, rather than the Argos ones.

Good festival tents and that's about it!

Use it, abuse it, don't expect too much.

I got one. Definately fun to play with in the garden but I'm not sure about actual camping. Maybe I'd try it in a forest if I'd a bivi as backup.

i used mine at one of the midlands meets last year with no problems of condensation and there were two of us in it with the top guyed open. You pay for what you get though !!
