Customer Review

Addendum:
now I have the tent set up in a trial free.
unfortunately I had to convert my review of enthusiastic 5 stars in a devastating single star.

But read for yourself:

the tent can be abspannen well, so that the tent fabric is sufficiently streamlined to use the entire interior of the tent can.

but the tent acts despite the additional lines that I have attached, not very resistant to wind me.

I have sprayed with a can universalimprägnierspray and then simulated with several watering cans full of water flowing heavy rain. the tent is waterproof: it remained completely dry inside.

but now I get to talk to a very unpleasant thing.
before I installed additional guy lines, I had the tent at first only with the two enclosed guy ropes "properly" tired: not too loose and not too tight.

Unfortunately dissolved thereby instantly edging where the guy strap is attached, from the tarpaulin. the damage grew rapidly when I loosened the rope and then stretched again. if I do not fix this, is the tent after a few days no longer use because of damage at each wind, tighten at every linen, increased at each building.

I'm going to this place although repair and reinforce, and then no more problems have it. but something like this may of course not be. I'm very sorry, but due to this serious lack of quality of this guying strap I must now advise against the purchase.

shame because all the good, what I wrote in the first draft of my review about this tent, actually that's right:

my review after I get the tent yesterday

First of all I must admit that I have not yet tested out, but has just been unwrapped and provisionally placed in the living room.

but since I camp a lot of experience with and their existing (or missing ;-) have qualities that I do not trust me here too an accurate assessment. it turns out the practical test that the tent but does not meet expectations, I hereby promise that I will extend my review to this information.

the tent together with poles, pegs, guy ropes and instructions inserted in a handy, 40x18x7,5 cm large pack bag with zipper and carrying strap. the pannier is just like the two small dry bags for poles and pegs made of the same polyester fabric as the tent itself.

I have the true tent yet to the "watering can test" checks on water resistance, but I have enough experience with tent materials of varying quality, to say: it should be very surprised if this tent would not waterproof. nevertheless I will generously spray before first use outdoors both the floor from below as the entire cell surface with a universalimprägnierspray that it in any drugstore for a few euros for impregnating shoes, functional clothing, plan and are scattered. I'm doing with each tent before the first use and repeat it in the fall prior to storage for the winter, if I often had a tent in the season when it rains in use.

the total weight is even slightly less than the Amazon indicated 1.6 kg: it weighs in at just 1.5 kg. so it's a very interesting tent for ultralight enthusiasts.

the color is more of a beige place as stated stone gray, but it is still just as discreetly as on the Amazon illustration. It is a bright but not garish color. Chance of light colors have the advantage of not heating the tents during the day in the heat too much. at dusk they leave longer shine through sufficient light, so to get along longer than dark colored tent without additional light source. However, it is in a green area due to its beige color is not a camouflage tent, if that should play a role for someone: for hidden (and forbidden ;-) wild camping in the woods, it is therefore not the first choice.

The interior in the tent is simply overwhelming! are popularly first tents as tents called this "dachshund garages", because usually they offer through the side walls inside steep little space. This tent is different. It is so spacious that you can sit as tall man at the entrance upright without the gable or the (possibly. by condensation wet) side walls touch. Also in the back of the tent is still high enough that a smaller person can sit upright.

the width of the tent is for a person with luggage more than adequate. Couple I would not want to sleep in it, but that is only because of my subjective, very large, personal space needs. for more social people is enough space for two people present, even if the luggage then must not be overly extensive. a pretty detail are the two interior sewn tent pockets, where you can accommodate small items like handkerchiefs, glasses and cell phones.

the tent length is suitable for the vertical narrow sides of this ridge tent shape even for very large people: (. evt condensation damp) stuck a two meter man would have in a very bulky sleeping bag and board straight supine stretch out to the sleeping bag to touch the tent walls.

in the Amazon description missing the sketch with the exact internal dimensions, the tent comes with the. I have the specified dimensions not measured it, but they are my eyes to estimate quite true: 2.20 m long, 1.40 m wide and 1.10 high forward, backward decreasing width 1.20 m and 0.9 m height.

pleasantly surprised I am by the quality of the mosquito mesh inserts that allow the continuous ventilation at the rear gable and be input covered: the stitches are very small and delicate, so that even the infamous "midges" (especially small and very nasty mosquitoes) can not slip through.

When one did a part of the entrance - or in good weather the entire entrance - mosquito net closes only with, the condensation is likely very limited. the style of the beginning of this measure is very contrary: since it includes the zippers of mosquito net and tent entrance plane like an inverted rolleau from the bottom up, you can set precisely by high or less raised zipper, how much one ventilation in will have the entrance. may sit on cold, windy input are completely closed, with rain only the upper part can be left open, weather permitting, the input remains fully open, with mosquito net which is of course closed to keep insects out.

to build:
With practice it is alone not a problem that build tent for one person. It is a misconception that the rear aufstellstange inside should be placed in the tent. the assembly instructions here expresses itself somewhat unclear. but the correct solution is obtained after close inspection of itself: only the outside of the tent is up, the rear gable enhanced "hood" sewn into the aufstellstange is plugged. inside the tent neither this enhanced "hood" above still a retaining tab for the lower end of aufstellstange attached. the rod would therefore already after a few times up and dismantling the tent from the inside pierced, when you put them inside instead of the outside.

Now I get to a weak point of the tent to speak:
the tent is spanned by only two guy lines and stabilized against wind. While facilitating the construction, but it probably makes it also difficult to tension the tent properly, so it stands firm and the interior is available to the last centimeter, without bumping into sunken tent walls. I tent that, as I said, have provisionally established so far in the living room, I can not say how good it can be stretched on a suitable surface with good location by the herring.

serious is the fact that with only two guy lines is not particularly wind marquee. the tarp will be wind strongly pressed already with something more vigorous - and possibly a fly with a fierce gust of wind the whole cottage it.
but on the other hand you can take precautions. here's something eigeninitiave asked. I bring in addition to the two enclosed guy ropes still two more lines on the two anchor points. so I can not just along the tent abspannen (in first direction), but additionally secure even at a 90 ° angle to the right and left.

Another slight drawback are the pegs attached: there are the usual cheap tent-steel pins, the tents in this price range but always accompanied. for a few nights on soft pointed underground they are perfectly fine. but she did not sit particularly firmly in the ground and bend easily. Here it is worthwhile to invest in a set of solid aluheringe with profile edges when you go camping more often. Such a herring not cost the earth and are just at first camp, which are held (as opposed to self-supporting dome tents) only by the ground bracing, a meaningful output.

Conclusion:
I will of course rectify my review, if me the tent at field use unexpected crop should disappoint.
purely by the price-performance ratio, the quality workmanship and thoughtful details I give here from a strong buy recommendation for this tent.
