 Great value for money September 20, 2008

I bought this to go to a festival. It is light and rolls up small, so is ideal for transporting from the car to the camping areas. It's incredibly easy to put up, just slip the poles into the sleeves, bang a peg in at each corner and clip the ventilation cover over the top. Unless it's really windy you don't need to bother with guy ropes. I'm 5'11 and I found it perfectly adequate for me plus a rucksack, but I reckon you'd have trouble fitting two people in with their bags. This is true of most alleged "two man" tents in my experience though. It rained a bit and the tent stayed perfectly waterproof. It was just as quick to take down as put up but at 11.99 you wouldn't feel too bad about abandoning it if it was tipping it down or you just couldn't be bothered.
 Sweat or freeze, you choose! September 9, 2008

Believe it or not, i didn't pack my tent back after the festival. I actually threw it away! I thought it cruel to resell it and subject another fellow human being to the experience i had with this tent. I did keep the pegs and guy ropes though.
Thing is, it doesn't have an inner tent so if the sun shines, you break into a pool of sweat and when it's cold well then you'll freeze. It's worst when it's hot as you have all the heat from outside plus the fact that it is actually retained in the tent, you may as well be in a greenhouse.
Anyway, this is simply not fit for a British Summer, even for the price.
 This is what you get if you spend less than 20 on a tent August 9, 2008

This tent, though ideal, is flawed.
Firstly, it is too small for two taller people to share, and even for me (6'1") it was tight sleeping diagonally just by myself.
Secondly, the walls do get very damp, and by early morning often drips because of condensation. It is actually very good at keeping the rain out, though I didn't realise at first that it came with a clip on top sheet to stop rain getting through the small netting at the top and had to masking tape a bin bag to the top. Probably my fault. You still should bag up all your things when you go out though
I've taken it to two festivals and though they weren't nearly as bad as Glastonbury 2007 weather-wise, I felt the tent could have easily withstood worse. It faired well and I was astonished at how dry the outer part remained.
Overall, it is a fine little tent and perfect for those with a low budget and low expectations. Though be warned, do not stay asleep after 9 in the morning or you will be boiled alive in your own sweat and bring a warm sleeping bag for it will not keep the cold out.
Cheap rubbish June 22, 2008

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.
