A 4 man tent with no men! (HONEST)!!

Advantages: Just a cool looking, well designed and functional tent.
Disadvantages: None for me.

...With T in the park weekend over and a great time had by all, I thought I would review the tent that was my home for the weekend. The tent in question was a Confidence Mars 4 Man Waterproof Dome Tent and although it is a 4 ?MAN? tent there were only me and my two girlfriends staying in this one (well that?s my story and I am sticking to it)! Now I am no camper so I cannot really give too much comparison between this tent and any other except to say it was worlds apart from the old tents I used to camp in as a kid. This tent has one separate bedroom compartment with zippers which would have been useful if any of us had picked up some guy and needed a bit of privacy (BUT WE DIDNT)!! It also had air vents so whilst being completely waterproof it did not become sweaty and therefore wetter inside than it was out, possibly the best thing...

Review of Confidence Mars 4 Man Waterproof Dome Tent

Outwell Jersey Pop-up Tent - 2 man

Advantages: easy to put up, quality, size inside, price
Disadvantages: size when stored, no porch.

...I already own 2 "normal" tents, but went on a 7 day bike race where i needed to put up and take down the tent 7 days in a row. I splashed out £45 for a "pop-up" tent. The thought of it errecting itself was very appealing!! Sceptical at first, I popped the tent out of it's bag and pegged it down with 4 pegs.....job done......in about 60 seconds. I couldn't believe it could be so easy!!!! Once the tent is up it is like any other, with an inner and outer sheets (don't go for the cheap single skin ones). It has vent to help reduce condensation, although some did form, but then i've never been in a tent where there was no condensation!!! The one I have is a 2 man version which accommodates 1 person + luggage with ease and would accommodate 2 people with some luggage. This tent took on some heavy rain and wind in the 7 days i was...

Advantages: Light weight ,extremely quick and easy to put up and take down .
Disadvantages: not sure how to stay warm .but thats not the tents fault!

...wanted something that would be easy for me to put up and take back down quickly without to much messing. -I wanted High Quality About the Tent The tent comes in a purpose made made bag and is no higher then 29 inches/ 74 cm ,the depth when stood up is no bigger then 10 inches/25 cm ,so is cylindrical in shape.(i'm sure could be folded smaller by someone who knows -as thats how big it is after I repacked it) also included was 10 standard 7 inch tent pegs .

Review of Vaude Campo 3 Man Dome Tent

Lichfield Cherokee Tunnel 2 Tent

Advantages: value for money, ease of erecting, space, ventilation, weight
Disadvantages: ventilation, mine leaked

...I bought this tent from a discount online store. This is a tunnel tent and relies entirely on being properly pegged to stay erect but once it's pitched I found it more stable in the wind than any dome. On my own I can have it up in 5 minutes. The living area is almost the same size as the inner tent and big enough to kneel up in. The tent comfortably sleeps 2 adults and accomodates 2 adults and a small child. The living area sets it apart from any dome tent especially for camping in the UK where the weather is so unpredictable. You could easily cook and spend a few hours in there without feeling uncomfortable! It's also good for cycling as bikes and luggage can be stored in the front and it only weighs 4.2kg which is a good bit less than similar makes. Inner tent has a lot of vents; good for summer but if it's cold...

Review of Lichfield Cherokee 2 Tent

2 person tent

Advantages: Takes 2 people - and their luggage
Disadvantages: Needs 2 people to put it up

...After spending several weekends traipsing around camping shops this turned out to be the tent of choice for a couple who like a bit of space. Ignoring the specifications - this is a 2 person tent. There's enough room for a tall man and for a woman who's brought her entire wardrobe on a camping trip - and let's face it, we all know that happens on most trips. Nearly didn't buy it as the wind was blowing when I viewed it outside the shop and it didn't seem very stable, but as it was marked down to a bargain price I went ahead - and have had no regrets. The tent is very stable when put up and pegged correctly. Not suitable as a 1 person tent as it takes 2 to put it up. Once the poles have been threaded through you'll need one person to stand inside the tent holding the canvas up while the other person runs around the outside...

Review of Outwell Arizona L Dome Tent - 2007 Model

2 Seconds? I'd say 1

Advantages: Putting up is not an issue, good little tent.
Disadvantages: May blow away.

...Introduction The Quechua 2 second tent is an absolute innovation in camping. As far as I am aware, it's the only tent on the market that you can take out of the bag, throw into the air, and step immediately inside. I got mine two years ago for my birthday, and spent about a month in it in my garden, before taking it on a real holiday to Norfolk. There, me and my dog stopped in it, and there were absolutely no issues (unless you count the smell of wet border collie I had to endure for a week). Since then, I've been on about five other trips in it, and its still as good as new. What you get Basically, you get a disc shaped bag, that has backpack straps on it, and a zip running around the edge. Upon undoing said zip, you remove the contents, and are flummoxed by the absence of poles, groundsheets, nets, over-sheets and other...

Review of Quechua 2 Seconds Tents

Tents and 2 children under 3- what a match

Advantages: Easy and straight forward to erect.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for a larger family.

...Not- is the continuation of the title, especially when its your first time camping with them, Callum 2 years 8 months and Lucy 10mths (fast crawler!). This was also the first time my husband had put up this tent, and it was late and we were both tired hungry and irritable and so were the kids. Now add windy to this scene as well and me having to hold on to the tent whilst hubby knocks in the pegs and if I had been watchinh instead of doing then I would probably have been in hysterics. The tent though, getting back to the subject on hand, is a brilliant design it goes up very easily and this was the first time my hubby had put up this tent it was very straightforward and he reckons that he will be bale to do it on his own next time, which is good news for me. Anyway let me describe this marvellous item to you it has: UV nylon...

Review of Eurohike 455TS tent

My Tent with Rooms

Advantages: Breathable fabric keeps cool in the heat and warm when it is cooler
Disadvantages: It is quite weighty and quite expensive

...I turned to camping rather late in life, only a year or so ago, with an escapade to the Isles of Scilly with my sister. While the trip and the islands themselves were fantastic, my cheap tent certainly was not. I had the bug though, and despite working in the hotel game, I found a real buzz from being able to book a week?s holiday for the princely sum of £6 to £8 a night. On return to the mainland, and armed with a £200 donation from my father in law, we set about searching for a tent. We quickly stumbled upon the Outwell Classic range of tents, as the local Yeomans camping store in my village has a vast display. I also have to admit I was somewhat seducted by the names of their tents, Bear Lake, Wolf Lake, Indian Lake, Norfolk Lake, Trout Lake ? all conjuring up images of camping in the Canadian wilderness with only a fishing rod...

Review of Outwell Bear Lake Tunnel Tent

A very light small tent

Advantages: small and therefore warm, light, easy to put ip
Disadvantages: little headroom, not good in extreme cold

...A very good tent indeed. I have used this tent on many 2,3,4 and 5 day trips and it has prooved very good. It is easy to assemble with only 2 poles and can easily be done by one person in only 3-4 minutes. I have also put mine up in gale fore winds with driving rain at 2 in the morning on Dartmoor. It is also very spacious and when hiking it is perfect for 2 people and all their kit. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that the tent does not create much condensation, in fact very little and the numerous inside pockets and twin vestibule areas are very useful for essential kit and cookin, respectively. The tent is also very light at under 5lb it makes little impression on your pack. It also has another advantage of being used as a single sheet tent, prefect for on the beach or just as a sun shelter. One minor disadvantage is that...

Review of Coleman Inyotm 2 Tent

The ups and downs of a family tent.

Advantages: Lots of space for everyone.
Disadvantages: No longer made.

...The Khyam Michigan 12 was only made in 2007 so can be hard to come by now. But if you are after a large, well set out tent, and you find one of these then grab it whilst you can. The tent is an outer pitch first, or all in one. Personally we leave the inners in place which reduces the pitching time. The tent itself is large and can be difficult and heavy to put up. Saying that I am under 5ft and have limited mobility so if me and hubby can put it up between us then I'm sure others could easily. We have reduced the pitching time to around 30 - 45 minutes now, which is not bad considering. One good thing though, is that although the tent is large it still fits on most pitches so no extra charges. The tent has 3 inners. All or some can be removed if wanted. The largest is 6 berth. This is used by our 4 children and is just big enough...
