Grand Canyon Tent Cardova (equipment)

Customer Review

... But already you realize at the tent, that it is not decided by the construction itself simply soo. There is first the rod pulled in building through the inner tent and then over it stretched the outer tent. The problem I find with this is that between the two is hardly free space, so that the outer tent with wind and rain is pressed very quickly to the inner tent. This should be avoided to prevent moisture comes inside. Therefore I have the outer tent with the two loops moored before the floor mounting on the inner tent and fixed into the side tent pegs 6-8. The inner tent now hung relatively loose innendrin what has an advantage: When everything is dry, you can normally spread inside. But if it is raining, the inner tent can contract a little simply, so that it does not touch the outer plane and simply deposit a few of his things like cookware between inner and outer tent. So you can create if necessary a small tent in which I have (because it was too windy outside) once cooked completely relaxed. A buddy has a similar tent with only one bar of Easy Camp, where you first build up the outer tent and then hangs up the inner tent, which I think is a much smarter design. Unfortunately, there is this no longer for sale.

I was so far with this tent 1 1/2 weeks in the Pyrenees on the road and in that time it has rained 3 times: once a really heavy storm with cloudburst and hail, which was loosely over 5 hours, then continuous rain and drizzle. The tent stayed dry in almost all situations, except when the thunderstorm. There had been formed at the bottom of a small corner in a short time a puddle which has permeated the tent floor, even though this was supposed to be waterproof. I just hope that this is an exception in my tent. Otherwise the outer tent held everything I do think is a decent performance. When it rains, assembled and disassembled, I did not have the tent.
I had not much wind, so I can not say much on this item in the mountains. It may be natural that in extremely windy areas more than my 6-8 pegs are needed. However, I would say that my tent so already had a very good level.

In the tent, condensation had formed every morning times. This was hardly disturbing to me, because it does not drip down. But when I wanted to pack up the tent, it took forever until it was dry again. Aeration therefore not seem to work quite as optimal, but one has this problem even if a little more wind prevails.

The weight is approximately 2.2 kg, which is ok. I have taken some of the pegs directly aside and take now only 10 (8 abspannen the maximum and 2 reserve). This tent will again 200g lighter and is well suited for trekking. Packed together, it is relatively narrow and long, thus I was able to optimally fasten it to the left side of my 65l backpack. In order to rig the middle side loops, you can by the way even longer guy ropes get (qid = 1378373824 & sr = 8-12 & keywords = Abspannleine + tent). Thus, the outer tarpaulin should be slightly firmer.

Processing of course seems to be slightly away from the tent of a 300, but for the price it seems really fit. The soil is one of these PU coated Plan, which I think is good because they are not as sensitive as modern tent floors. Therefore an extra tarpaulin must not take it, this would weigh 300g yes again.

Also I would say that the tent only for 1 person with luggage is suitable. While it fit in 2 sleeping pads, but otherwise not much. It would be possible, of course, for example, simply leave on a trekking tour in the backpacks rain cover outside.

Minor shortcomings as senseless inner mesh pockets or a way of lamp installation can quickly resolve itself with something Nähzeugs.

Conclusion: For the price you can strike in any case. You get a tent, which prevents a lot of rain and is easy. For the Arctic or the Mount Everest VLT not suitable for the otherwise most of all outdoor activities but already.
