Reviews
Pretty decent tent
"I bought this in 2018 during the Boxing Day Sale, and overall it's a good tent. Never had a problem with the zips, although after 8 years the stitching is starting to show its age. The flooring is still in good condition too. The two downsides would have to be the tent pegs, and the black tent poles. The tent pegs are a bit thin and bend easily, and one of the black tent poles finally snapped after 8 years. Reading through the reviews this seems to be sort of common, but I wouldn't say it makes it a bad tent. Spares are cheap enough at $10 each, and after 8 years I've got no complaints."
Good tent that packs small.

No moist
"We're very happy purchasing the tent very comfortable to sleep and it never been moist or wet inside."
Stood up to R & V weather bomb
"Very pleased with the tent’s performance. It was quick to put up and take down and most importantly it stayed dry inside and structurally sound in the pouring rain at R & V 2025. Nothing inside the tent got wet!, it’s also super light and packs into a small carry bag. Although it says it’s a 2 person tent we were able to fit 3 women. Recommended as a great quality tent,"
Tent is absolutely perfect and

Great little tent
"I used this for a solo trip and had plenty of room, it would definitely be quite cosy for 2 people with not alot of storage room but for a quick getaway it would be fine. Super easy to set up and pack down"
Great product
"Excellent tent. Easy to install for one person! It remains dry inside, despite heavy rain weather conditions!"
