Zips won't last
"Great tent but I had two zips break within 3 months of the 3 year warranty ending."
Only tent to not leak @ Rhythm & Vines
"Brought the tent for Son for Christmas and feedback was after the heavy rain it was the only tent of his group that didn’t leak."
Needs two to tango
"This is a well designed tent and we use it for two. Three would be very friendly. . . . The Kathmandu video shows two people erecting the tent and it does need two to fit the red T-shaped struts in place unless some special ingenuity is applied. Ten minutes for erection is reasonable with a bit of practised teamwork. It was 'on sale' and excellent value for our use as a car-camping overnighter."
Great wee tent
"Our kids used this at a music festival and it was easy for them to set up and pack down."
Miss B
"Excellent ! well designed tent"
Great for first-timers
"Great compact tent, easy to assemble for beginners, stands up well against the wind!"
Perfect size tarp as footprint
"There is a 2. 9m x 3. 5m tarp from a certain hardware store in Oz that is a perfect size for a footprint. The extra 0. 6m is the exact size of the back vestibule when laid equal to the front edge. And with a little care it fits in the bag when packed up."
Great tent! Value for money.
"Easy to set up. Handy features with good ventilation, especially back zip. Stayed up when windy and kept my gear dry in some heavy constant rain. Front vestibule has plenty of room and with the clip in floor in this area is another versatile area. Only thing missing is a tie back on the inside of the tent for the front entrance, otherwise a great tent!"
Retreat Tents NEED footprints
"Such a pity that footprints aren't available. We replaced tent poles and want to reduce our carbon footprint by repairing instead of throwing. How to repair the floor of both Retreat tents, please?"

UVE 95%+
- This woven shade fabric provides 95%+ UV protection according to AS 4174.When shade fabric is used for purposes such as shade structures for human protection, the ultraviolet effectiveness (UVE) may not be an accurate guide to the protection provided and may be less than the measured value due to factors including variations in design, height and size of shade structures, stretching of the fabric, the distance of the fabric from the persons, the direction of sunlight, and the physical location of the persons within the shade structures (e.g. at the edge or at the centre.)
