high stability and great internal space for two persons - those are ideal preconditions

front porch and a small storage area in the back, which can be accessed from

Strengths:
Lightweight, easy to assemble, 4 season, well made
Weaknesses:
Colour not the most discreet
I researched getting a tent for some time prior to committing and believe I got a bargain and just what I was looking for in this model. The only reservation I had was the colour, only as I generally don't like paying to camp and it is not that discreet but I knew that when I bought it.
The quality of both the design and build of this tent is fantastic and it has stood up to some harsh evenings already. All fixtures are of good quality and I believ this tent will last some time.
It is incredibly easy to assemble and, even in high winds, is a cinch to put up. .
There is plenty room for two and it packs down nicely, so as to not take up too much room in my rucksack.
I am very pleased with this piece of camping gear and I have yet to get rumbled by that twilight shout of "Get orf my land"
;)
