Yipee khyam

Advantages: Its sooo easy
Disadvantages: none that I've found yet

...This is the most convenient, quick to erect and roomy tent on the market and is excellent value for money. Now with an opening like that the review better prove it to you. But I am so convinced of my words that this is the first new product I have suggested to ciao and as such thought it only polite to be the first to review it. The khyam rapidex ridgi dome system is revolutionary, gone are the days of feeding the poles through the canvas before you can put it up, or standing inside a tent holding it still while someone else does the boy scout thing and pulls the canvas over the top. Essentially the main body of the ridgi dome tent is permanantly attached to the canvas and it has quick release joints that just pop into place, once this is done the tent is practically up. The benefit of this is you can have a tent that is...

Review of Khyam Ridgi-dome classic XL

Khyam Vector PoP Up Tents.

Advantages: So auick & easy! Saves you getting wet when others are still constructing...
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...'s run over a car in St Malo (as mine was!) Although I bodged it together for the rest of the trip you'll be glad to know that parts were readily available on my return & the prices weren't bad either!!! Mine is the older door each side design which has since been changed to a door with single zip on the opposing side - not as usefull & a shame in my mind. My sister has replaced the fly on hers with one of these new models & although not as good as the two full doors it is still better than most. Weighs about 2kg or just over I think & pack size is sausage shaped measuring approx 500mm long with a 200mm Diameter which just about fits on a pannier rack or in a pack. There are many tents in the Khyam range; the Vector is about the smallest going right up to a double bedroomed affair which has living space, where it is tall enough...

Review of Khyam Vector

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...

Review of Khyam Michigan Family Tunnel Tent

Tourer Tourer Tourer

Advantages: Easy to erect, quality tent.
Disadvantages: Pricey for some.

...If you are looking for a spacious tent that is easy to erect then you need look no further. Description: The tourer 400 is a 4 person tent that has a central living space and two bedrooms, one to the right and one to the left. The main section is high enough for us to stand up in and both bedrooms are well sized. The tourer 400 is offered in khaki/dark green/pistachio colour scheme so may be a little on the boring side if you like a stand out colour for your tent but its functionality more than makes up for that. Erecting the tent: I've been a fan of Khyam's external click pole system since I first used it 12 years ago. The ease and speed of putting up the tent is worth every penny. To erect the tent you pull up on a central point at the roof apex and then click opposing elbow joints into place. Next you extend the 4 poles to...

Review of Khyam Vector

Something a bit different

Advantages: 5 star hotels at 3 star prices
Disadvantages: the locals hassling you

...The first time I went to Tunisia was in 1977, my first time ever abroad and I was 20. It was a big culture shock. I have been 4 or 5 times since then, and it remains one of my favourite places to travel to. It has changed lot since 1977. I stayed in a hotel called the Dar Khyam in Hammammet. A very basic hotel, which I believe still exists today. My friend and I were very adventurous then and I remember taking the train to some town somewhere, so she could visit a grave of her dad's brother. Being blond my friend attracted a great deal of attention from the local males eveywhere we went. Tunisia was very uncommercialised then, and in a way its popularity now has been a bit of a downfall. My last visit was April 2001. I took my two children then aged 15 and 18 to a lovely 5 star hotel called The Royal Azur again in...

Review of Tunisia - Holiday (Tunisia)

Rechargeable and (?) disposable

Advantages: Readily available, rechargeable, reliable
Disadvantages: The foil 'only' lasts about two years, rather poor trimmer

...two instead of one cutting head on the cruZer, and I find it gives twice as close a shave as the cruZer, in half the time The construction and finish of the 200 seems more durable but the most remarkable thing is the way it ploughs on right from the start of the shave, while the 'cruZer' feels as if it is stalling when taking the first cut on anything but the shortest stubble. The cruzer's clipper works quite well but otherwise the 200 is twice as good. It is only the clipper which stops it being 'excellent' rather than just 'good' in my book Many thanks indeed to Victor Khyam (? spelling), or to whoever bought the company from whoever bought the company from him; now I can worry about something else, like how to dispose of it, instead of worrying about which shaver to buy tranx@ October 2006...

Vango's Erections

Advantages: Lightweight, spacious, well made
Disadvantages: fiddly to put up

...tents, which have the advantage of being easier to put up and are very durable and weather resistant. Without further hesitation we all piled into the MPV and headed off to Sheffield to explore ?CCC Outdoor Centre?s? display of tents. They have a wide range of tents set up on the 1st floor ranging from the Khyam self erecting tent to tiny one pole bivvy tents and quite a few in between. We browsed around checking for features that would suit our requirements; we looked at weight, quality of construction and sleeping arrangements. Eventually we settled on the Vango TBS Equinox 600, a hoop or tunnel design 3/4-season tent that sleeps 6 people (in theory). We figured that we might as well stick to Vango as we knew that their tents were reliable and the customer support is also good. Vango is actually an anagram of Govan, a Scottish...
