This tent only really fell short of being given our Best Buy recommendation because of its small vents. Their size will likely lead to some condensation forming on the ceiling overnight. Besides that, we think it's very good.

It did a fine job of repelling wind and rain in our tests, and we found it straightforward to pitch and pack away. We did spot a handful of reviews online saying strong winds bent the poles, but this didn't happen for us when it was subjected to wind speeds of around 30mph.

The pack is also only a little more than 3kg and is a compact size, so it's suitable for backpacking trips where managing the weight of your pack is extra important.

The porch isn't large enough to hang out in, but it's a good size for storing gear outside the bedroom. The bedroom itself is also a comfortable size for two campers to share.

Although it's not quite one of our Best Buy recommendations, we still like this tent and it can be bought at a much more reasonable price than some others in our top 10. For that reason, we're happy to give it our Great Value recommendation.
