 Cheap rubbish June 22, 2008
Br Cottrell (London)
I bought this tent for a weekend away. It is poorly made of cheap materials. It showered and leaked and the mosquito net ripped when done up as it was cut too small. I wished I had spent more on a double skinned tent from a renowned brand.
Really this is only suitable for kids playing in the garden. It is not viable for camping.
 Great value and survived the Berkshire monsoon June 15, 2008

I bought one of these tents in 2004 (Pro Action branded) for Glade Festival.
I'm 6'3" tall but I could stretch out fully on my own, diagonally across the tent. The headroom is pretty good, I could sit up straight and get dressed inside the tent without trouble. The porch is big enough to hold a couple of pairs of boots + your stove + trangia and other odds and ends, and the door is wide enough to cook safely whilst sat in the entrance (if you're VERY careful of course!) Since it's a single skin tent, it's incredibly easy to put up and take down, and very light.
I was a bit worried about it being waterproof, but after 3 dry, hot years at Glade I took it to a free party in Goyt Valley in May 2006 and it rained quite heavily for a few hours. It thankfully was waterproof, but I figured I should probably re-waterproof it with a spray at Glade - just in case it rained again. It turned out to be baking sunshine again that year. Now, I should say this tent is certainly NOT very well ventilated. If the tent is in direct summer sun you WILL wake up drenched in your own sweat! But if you get out of your sleeping bag and open the outer waterproof door flap and the "porch" flap in the morning, the mesh door flap improves ventilation somewhat and you can have a bit of a lazy lie in, until the psytrance starts pumping again in the next arena of course...!
But I digress. Anyone who was watching the floods on the news in Berkshire (Aldermaston specifically) in July 2007 will have seen what this tent has survived. I've never seen rain like it. Despite re-waterproofing, the tent fabric was soaking wet by morning, and some moisture was certainly splashing through onto my face, and a very small puddle of water had formed in the bottom corner of the tent (I was camped on a hill). But I was still dry, so was my stuff, and that puddle was the only sign of the deluge of torrential rain that had fallen on the festival for the last 12 hours. If I hadn't put my foot in the puddle in the morning I wouldn't even have known about it! Meanwhile, my friends were all pulling drenched clothes, matted packs of Rizla, ruined cameras, soggy sleeping bags and wet rucksacks out of their expensive, supposedly "waterproof" tents. I just poked a tent peg through the ground sheet, watched the puddle drain away, and spent the next 2 days wallowing through 5" deep mud, knowing that I had a nice dry tent to go back to.
Unfortunately, I abandoned the tent in the Glade mud (completely intact, with only the peg hole and a few mud splashes to show for the experience) since I was too tired to pack it up and carry it to the car. I almost went back again just to get it. RIP tent. I am now just about to buy another one of the same style, which should be the best recommendation of all.
Tested in Snowdonia National Park.....very wet and windy. June 3, 2008

For the money (I paid 11.99) this tent has a 5 star rating from me. I already have a 400 Terra Nova 3-man tent for camping in difficult weather conditions. And by the way, in reality, a 3-man tent is actually a 2-man tent if you don't want to be squashed too much. So this cheap tent had a lot to live up to. I bought it as we had a friend that wanted to come camping with us in Snowdonia (North Wales). As it happens, for almost all of the 5 days we were there it rained a lot and as is so often the case, was VERY VERY windy. But, the tent did the job. If you are going to use this tent in very high winds, it will do the job. The poles (very important) are pretty strong and the tent skin was as waterproof as my Terra Nova. HOWEVER, just bear in mind that this is a single skin tent. If there is only going to be one person in the tent....you will be fine. Two people, and you will be looking at quite a bit of condensation by the morning dripping on you and your equipment and clothing, this is why a double skin tent is better. This tent is quite well ventilated. I'm 5ft 10 and the tent is NOT going to allow much leg room for sleeping if you are much taller than this. To be honest though, the tent is very spacious and you can sleep at a slight angle. All in all, a pretty strong tent and very quick to put up (very important when your actually out there in the rain trying to put up your tent). For the money, this really is a great tent. If you don't mind a bit of condensation this will put up with pretty harsh weather if need be.
Finally, the weight isn't too bad and two people will fit in this tent quite comfortably. By the way....always wise to practice putting up your tent before you go camping.

I bought this tent direct from Sports HQ. Having never opened it we took it to Italy assuming that it wouldn't rain. When I opened it I thought there had been a mistake. "Where's the second sheet?". Then I check the bag again and find a A4 sized patch of material that goes on top. "Is this a joke?". It had us in stitches for ages. Anyway my last comment was "at least we're testing it out in Italy and not in Scotland". What a mistake. The heavens opened about an hour later and lashed down much harder than it does in Scotland. It was biblical. Anyway, the Turtle (our nickname for it) survived to tell the tale completely intact. Two day later it was even worse with huge hail stones. Once again it passed with flying colours. This tent is very light (hence us being able to carry it in our suitcase) and very easy to put up and take down. It's waterproof and sturdy. It's not perfect. It's too short and I would advise against people above 5ft 10" buying this tent. And you do wake up with condensation when it's hot because it's not very breathable. But for 7 it's unbeatable.
An absolute Bargain September 3, 2007

For the price, this is really good. The floor of the tent is stitched to the walls, so all you have to do to set it up is to put the two poles in and put in a couple of pegs, and you're done!
The tent is slightly smaller than other two man tents I've been in, but this one has a porch, perfect for storing your pack and bags, and leaving the maximum room in the tent for sleeping space.
Also comes with handy carry bag. If you're looking for a good two man tent with good price, this is the one to get!
