Great tent
— Show originalnice tent, shipped fast thanks! we are going to test this next week in the desert| Overall rating |
— Show originalI chose the tent after watching many tests online and various live tents. Unfortunately, I will not be able to test it in the field until spring. At the moment, it looks like a very solid and well-thought-out product. I am a bit puzzled by the not very high waterproof parameter compared to the competition, often even cheaper. Time will tell, although I usually use it in dry seasons. I do not like the cover, it is about 2 times too big in volume! Since I transport the tent on a motorcycle, so that it does not flap in the wind, I had it reduced by a seamstress to dimensions of 46 cm x 15 cm. Now it is just right :-)| Overall rating |
— Show originalThe tent is superb, good quality design, the materials are light, strong and aluminum not plastic! Very good against a storm| Overall rating |
The build up is easy. Quality is, as expected, very good. Loads of storage space in nets and vestibule. Good size for two.

— Show originalWith a little camping experience, I would say that it is a really good tent, easy to set up and quite comfortable for two. Adequately sized "apsides" on the sides for storing trunks. The several layers of the tent allow options depending on the weather.| Overall rating |

— Show originalWorks well, very easy to set up and so far seems to hold water well. And it doesn't seem to collect condensed moisture very much when there are two different tent fabrics.
The space is fine, if two broad-shouldered people want to sleep together, you shouldn't be afraid of closeness, but two people can definitely fit here.Brand
