Customer Reviews
Brilliant!
Ok, OK. so it may no be ideal for D of E or long serious mountain treks, But for a weekend or festival there is nothing better. it takes about a minute for a 15 year old male ( and i never read instructions!)to set up. its suprisingly easy to pack up because of the hook and ring things that keep that tent in a neat circle. it has a 2000mm water proof spec, so it will do for rain, but it wont survive a huricane. and as for it not rolling up to go in a rucksack, do you really want a festival tent for expeditions...if so you really dont have any idea on what your buying.
Not waterproof but it is pop up
Although I don't like this tent myself as it is not water proof I have to comment on some of the points other reviews have made.
First of all I think it is guaranteed that you take at leaxt one berth away from every single tent you buy, this is general knowledge i'm sure. Even if you buy a 4 men tent it will never have enough room for 4 normal sized people (esp not with any room for anything else).
Like I said above, the lack of waterproofing, i've just come home from glastonbury and ended up getting drops of water every second from the roof, and that was just from dew! When it came to the thunderstorms it was practically unlivable.
Finally another thing someone else has said is that the tent is not pop up because 'you have to peg it to the ground'. I'm not sure if you have gone camping before but i assure you that whatever tent you get you will want to peg it down! It's pop up because you dont have to mess about with poles etc.
Thinking about it I would much rather have the pain of putting poles in and erecting an inner skin and having a dry night sleep rather than having drops of water fall on me.
Great Pink Tent!!!
After ordering this tent I was a little worried thinkin that it wouldnt be waterproof enough if there was a major downpour an i had made a mistake. After setting it up, which was unbelievably easy!! (It literally just pops up then peg it down! Its brilliant an so easy, even for the girliest of girls to put up.) Its just enough room for a single airbed and when the downpour came (which lets face it, this is England, the downpour always comes!) I was amazed by how warm and dry the tent was!! It blocked out pretty much all the wind with its sleek shape and didn't let a drop of rain in! It is a little awkward that it packs up into a large flat pancake shape, but it just adds to the fun of the tent. It is a truly brilliant little tent, great for festivals or a fun weekend camping trips :) All doubts I originally had were well and truly dispelled and was absolutely amazed by it! A very good and highly recommended purchase!!!
