Reviews

Very easy to put up-takes 5 minutes max. Easy to take down and fold into bag. More spacious than it looks. Have been complimented on it when used

It is very easy to pitch and just about big enough for one person but there is no inner so you have to be very careful not to touch the sides when it's raining which is difficult when space is so tight.

It packs down into a flat hoop so fine if you are traveling by car but no good for hiking.

I was somewhat apprehensive to buy this tent having read some of the reviews here, but having gone ahead with it I'm now glad I did. It's clear that some of the reviewers have expectations far beyond what you could reasonably ask for in a tent costing £25.

This tent is great for the occasional overnighter where nothing more than basic shelter is required.....perfect for 2 kids or 1 adult (2 adults at a squeeze) It can be pitched in a minute or so and packed away just as quickly...no problems with folding as indicated by some of the other reviewers (just read the instructions)

Build quality seems fine and there are some nice design touches. Does suffer from condensation as do all single skin tents, so keep well ventilated overnight and avoid touching the sides in the morning.

So if you are looking for the occasional overnight shelter with fair weather forecasted this tent is ideal. For anything more demanding I would suggest finding a tent designed for the expedition you have in mind

I found this tent almost totally unsuitable for the purpose for sleeping in. It is certainly not big enough to fit 2 adults in comfortably (especially if you're over 6') and as there is no porch there is nowhere to store shoes, stove etc. As you would expect, very easy to put up, but had to find a video online to understand how to put it down as the instructions were useless!

As it is all in one (i.e. groundsheet and inner are the same) it is not very breathable and gets wet with condensation. It didn't rain when I used this tent but everything ended up soaking by the morning (including me!).

Only really suitable for use as a temporary shelter type thing.

Brilliant little tent!! Bought it for a festival, and it did me proud!! Ideal for one person and stuff for a long weekend!! It got subjected to a thunderstorm, lots of rain and some quite strong winds!! It didn't budge, leak or blow away-what more can you ask?? Only thing was the condensation and the heat during the day, but that's the same for pretty much all tents!! I would definately recommend this to anyone looking for an easy to pitch and pack one-man number!! So easy to pitch, I got it all set up once, but had left a bit of a gap, so took it down and put it back up again within 5 minutes and I am a girl and not an experienced camper!! I would recommend having a go at taking it down again before you actually use it, but it basically has colour coded hooks so pretty difficult to go wrong!! Really great little tent!!
