Contact our teamI wanted a simple tent with standing room and enough space for 3 people to fit comfortably.
The water rating and set up for this tent a great. The black outs make a huge difference for sleep. Easy to vent for fresh air. Happy with my purchase.
Great tent. Walk in. Plenty of vents and roomy. Good for two people on air mattress with room for gear. I motorcycle camped with this tent so it's easily carried. The tent pegs could be stronger imo. But highly recommend.
We used this tent for the first time on our first camping trip to Coromandel and were very happy with the quality. We experienced heavy rain in the middle of the night, and luckily there were no leaks inside the tent. Definitely recommend this product!
Upgraded from a Coleman black out tent. This tent seems to handle the wind better in Lower Hutt. Kids have been camping out in the back yard for over a week. Handled heavy rain with no leaks.
I did my research and wanted something easy to put up by myself and tall enough to stand in as over 50 now, and don’t want to be crawling into a tent…. Also had a small budget.
Love the way you can get ventilation on all 4 sides and entrances both rear and out the front, with an awning (I used poles and guy tops from previous old tents). And it had a ground sheet extension out the front to, which was handy!
I did have a few heavy duty pegs for the main corners - plus the hand ‘peg’ puller to get them back out again :)
