Verdict
The is a excellent lightweight
backpacking tent which, with it’s excellent
features, can give a lot of the more expensive
backpacking tents a run for their money. Excellent
use of quality material and design make this tent
almost ‘bomb proof. One of the more innovative
touches I like is the rain cover in the roof, peel
it back to reveal a mesh covering that not only
allows extra ventilation but also a view of the
night sky whilst laid in your sleeping bag.
