## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Took it out to dartmoor for 3 nights in march:
*by A***R on 5 April 2024*

I took it hiking in Dartmoor for 3 night in pretty rough weather.Set up was super simple.Tent is light and small.Poles look to be a bit weak - but held in 70km gusts.It was raining hard each night and totally dry inside.Size wise - I am 6ft4 and inside was large enough for me to be comfy and keep important supplies close.Its quite low and I couldn't sit comfortably in the door way.For the price its a good tent, Only thing holding it back is the poles, they made me worry a bit in the high wind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tent for solo wildcamping in good conditions.
*by J***E on 22 June 2024*

positives: lightweight, easy to assemble, good quality, cheapnegatives: Small, hardly any porch, two layers that can't really be connected when folded up as you need to fit the poles into the inner layer. So not suitable for wet and windy conditions as the inner will get soaking wet before you have a chance to out on the outer layer.As a cheap, lightweight tent for overnight solo camping in good weather conditions, its perfectly acceptable. Just make sure you buy a bed pad that fits as space inside is very limited.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good!
*by A***P on 25 June 2024*

I see what people mean about the tent poles breaking, they do feel very fragile, but as long as you don’t use undue force they work just fine, only used it once so far though so we shall see.The inside is very tight, I’m a slender 6’2” inch man and it’s very cozy but if you are claustrophobic you might not like this, it’s a bit miserable to use in the rain because there is no room to sit down and take your boots off unless you are very flexible like me, you are either in this tent, getting out, or outside of the tent, there isn’t much headroom to sit in this.I wish the door flap could be held open somehow, I’m going to add a magnet to try and keep it open.
