The Concept

The idea being that you have a tent that can fit unobtrusively in a topbox , keep you dry when it rains and keeps you cool when the sun is baking the sands . I ’ d call this a ‘ back-up ’ tent if I was honest and I ’ ve looked at the review from that stand point .

This is normally to let you know how much space you get in a tent and to be honest it ’ s not right anyway . If you order a two person tent then you get enough room for two people to sleep , not two people and their gear ... where they think their gear goes I have no idea but tents have always been done this way . Therefore , I ’ ve always bought tents with at least two person berth and more often I will go for three person .
There is no bones about it this is a single person tent and if you ’ re over 6 foot then you ’ ll also struggle to fit much gear in there . It ’ s pretty much a bivvy bag with some poles and I would imagine it would be a walkers wet dream of a tent . As a biker I liked the idea that if my main tent went wrong with some malfunction then I would somewhere to sleep for the night . Come the morning I would be off looking for a camping shop to replace or repair my main tent .
