Ultimate Equipment 2 man Tent but Which Model?

[rancid badger]

As the title; I've got an "Ultimate Equipment" 2 man tent but I've no idea what model it is and there's nothing on the labeling to say which model it is either

It's a cracking piece of kit, simple but really well thought out;

The poles slot into each other and the ends are then capped with rubber bungs, a clever idea I think


It also has a pair of nice alloy pole foot plates as opposed to the normal white plastic offerings.

It's a symmetrical design, with identical doors on both sides of the fly and the inner too


This is all the labeling:

I've a feeling it might have been some sort of "special" or "exclusive" thing between Ultimate and Wilderness Ways but any info you can give me would be appreciated. I know it's not a "Peapod" anyway.







As I say, any info would be much appreciated

thanks in advance

Steve

Nice, what does it weigh?

That looks like my idea of a good small tent; it'd be close to my ideal tent if it had an "A" frame at the entrance.

It weighs just on 7lbs, so not exactly featherweight but manageable nonetheless.
If you just pitch the fly, its easily big enough to take four if needs be.

I've tried a google but not yet found much on this particular tent.

Think its part of the valley range.

Big fan of ultimate and phoenix tents, have a fair few including 'the tent', tramp, phazor, phortress.

Yes I reckon your spot on there EID! It looks like its the "U6 Valley 4'", the picture is almost identical and the weight and dimensions are a match too, thanks very much indeed for that

I just need to decide what to do with it now.

cheers

Lol I can guess what you will do with it but you should use it a couple times first!

 

[rancid badger]

I'm seriously thinking of keeping it to be honest. The thing really is like new, apart from the rubber shock loops on the fly pegging points, some of which are a bit perished. I'll just replace them with shock cord and that'll be it.

I love the colour of the fly sheet compared to my modern TNF Rock22 which is outrageous orangey yellow, as well as the rugged simplicity of the poles too.

Thanks again for your help in identifying it:You_Rock_

cheers

Good for you, use it as it was meant to be. Maybe treat it to some nikwax tent and gear solar proof waterproofing.
